Early Careers

Kick start your career

We love the enthusiastic energy and fresh perspectives raw talent brings. Many of our dream teamers started their careers at Cobblestone when they were still students or fresh graduates. Our graduate roles are carefully designed to support the development of our young team members and help them excel in their roles to ultimately lead different business areas.

Commercial Development Program (CDP)

CDP is a rotational job to give exposure to our new recruits in the energy trading domain. It lasts between 7-12 months and allows you to experience a minimum of 3 months working in both our Trading department and Analytics department. Team members who are in CDP are called Commercial Graduates and they are assigned experienced Traders and Trading Analysts as mentors to guide them during their time in both departments. Upon graduating from the CDP, depending on your interest and strengths, you advance your career in the Trading department or the Analytics department.

Cobblestone Training Program (CTP)

CTP is a 6-day onsite training assessment in our Dubai office for the finalist candidates who clear our virtual recruitment process for the graduate positions. Facilitated by our senior and experienced traders and analysts, it provides the candidates with a live insight into what a role with us would look like. You get an opportunity to understand our trading business in depth and we get to know you and your skills better in person, before we extend you the full time offer. If you reside outside Dubai, we cover all expenses of your travel and stay for this training.
