What we’re about
At Danske Commodities, we trade energy across 40+ markets and deliver solutions for energy producers and large-scale consumers.
Our people work together to find value in everything we do and deliver it. For our partners. And for the energy system as a whole. Together with our parent company Equinor, we operate on a scale few trading houses can match.
Our organisation is flat with an open-door policy. We expect you to care. About your work. About your colleagues. And about the difference we make.
Aspiring chefs, beekeepers, runners, parents, gamers - we’re proud of our diversity of ideas. What binds us together is that we all find average genuinely uncomfortable and want to do something about it.
We’re big on trust and providing the freedom for you to thrive. Together, we’ll make sure you’ll be the best version of you. Because happy employees perform better and we’re in this for the long run. No matter the stage in life you’re in, we’ve got you.
Join us. You'll love Mondays.
