Natural Gas Scheduling Associate – Goldman Sachs, Calgary, AB
Location: Calgary, AB | Company: Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs is hiring a Natural Gas Scheduling Associate in Calgary, Alberta, to support physical commodity logistics within its Global Banking & Markets Operations division.
This position focuses on coordinating the daily movement of natural gas across North American pipeline and storage networks. The Associate will work closely with trading, sales, operations and external market participants to help ensure that physical gas flows are scheduled accurately, completed on time and aligned with contractual and commercial requirements.
Supporting Physical Natural Gas Operations
The Natural Gas Scheduling Associate contributes to the complete operational lifecycle of a physical commodity. The role connects commercial trading activity with the practical movement of natural gas between producers, pipelines, storage facilities, power plants and industrial customers across North America.
Working from a trading-floor environment in Calgary, the successful candidate will help translate completed transactions into accurate scheduling instructions. The position requires close attention to market deadlines, infrastructure constraints and operational details because scheduling decisions can directly affect inventory, contractual performance and the firm’s relationships with clients and counterparties.
Key Areas of Responsibility
The position combines commodity logistics, market coordination and operational control. Priorities may change throughout the day as trading activity develops, pipeline conditions shift and new information becomes available.
Gas Flow Scheduling
Coordinate the transportation of natural gas across pipeline and storage systems while helping ensure that daily nominations reflect completed commercial transactions.
Trading and Sales Support
Work closely with trading and sales professionals to provide operational information, evaluate scheduling considerations and support the execution of physical gas strategies.
Market Data and Analysis
Provide accurate updates on gas flows, infrastructure conditions and operational activity that may influence current positions or future commercial opportunities.
Counterparty Coordination
Communicate with clients, pipeline operators, storage providers and other external parties to confirm contract details and support proper deal execution.
Asset and Inventory Management
Help monitor physical assets and inventory positions while maintaining reliable records connected to scheduled volumes and operational commitments.
Cross-Functional Operations
Collaborate with settlements, legal, compliance, credit, technology, tax, insurance, documentation and regulatory teams when operational issues require broader coordination.
Qualifications and Market Readiness
Goldman Sachs is seeking candidates with a bachelor’s degree, preferably in commerce, business or a related field. The role may suit professionals who have experience working in fast-paced environments where deadlines are firm, information changes quickly and several tasks must be managed at the same time.
Applicants should demonstrate strong analytical ability, technical confidence and careful attention to detail. Previous exposure to energy markets, commodity operations, logistics, pipelines or trading support may be helpful, although the official posting places particular emphasis on adaptability, ownership and the ability to learn complex systems and processes.
Skills That May Help Candidates Succeed
This role requires a combination of operational discipline, commercial awareness and teamwork. Candidates who can remain organized under pressure and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders may be well suited to the position.
Pipeline nominations, contract information and market submissions must be reviewed carefully because small errors can affect physical delivery and downstream processes.
The ability to manage competing deadlines helps the team respond to changing market conditions and complete time-sensitive scheduling activities accurately.
Interpreting market data, gas flows and infrastructure constraints supports better operational decisions and more useful communication with trading teams.
Professional communication with clients, operators and internal departments helps resolve issues efficiently and maintain reliable working relationships.
A proactive approach is valuable when taking responsibility for projects, learning new market processes and adjusting to evolving business requirements.
Trading-Floor Environment and Schedule
The Associate will work in a fast-moving Calgary trading environment where physical delivery activity is closely connected to sales and trading decisions. The role offers regular exposure to North American natural gas markets, pipeline infrastructure and the operational controls that support a large financial services organization.
The official posting states that candidates must be available to work every fourth weekend and occasional holidays. This coverage helps the team manage commodity flows outside standard business hours when pipeline deadlines, market requirements or physical delivery obligations continue. Compensation and benefits may vary according to experience, eligibility and the employment terms established by Goldman Sachs.

Candidates should review the complete vacancy on Goldman Sachs’ official careers platform before submitting an application. The employer’s page contains the latest information about responsibilities, qualifications, scheduling expectations and recruitment requirements.
Applicants should prepare a résumé that highlights experience in operations, logistics, commodities, financial markets or other deadline-driven environments.
