Energy Reporter

Reuters seeks a driven reporter to join its Canada bureau to cover energy, based in Calgary.  It is an exciting time on the Canadian energy beat with the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion boosting exports at the same time the Liberal government pledges to cut greenhouse gas emissions from the oil and gas sector and the Calgary oil lobby pushes back. 

The right candidate will be able to cover crude and natural gas markets, break news on oil producing companies and report on provincial and national energy policy, which will be at the forefront of Canada’s upcoming presidential election.  The job requires the winning candidate to work closely with the New York and Houston based energy teams and guide the coverage of quarterly earnings of listed oil producers. You will be skilled at making sources with energy traders and inside energy companies and have sharp ideas on how energy interacts with trade, climate change, labor and other beats.

The winning candidate should be comfortable working with visuals and graphics to help bring stories alive. Reuters requires all reporters to pitch original story ideas and to incorporate new reporting techniques and technology into their work.

About the Role

As an Energy Reporter, you will:

• Write daily market reports covering Canadian heavy crude, and join the rotation for our main U.S. oil market report.
• Closely monitor oil and natural gas production and exports, and report on the differentials between Canadian and benchmark West Texas crude.
• Develop and maintain sources to break news ahead of the competition.
• Help cover major political and general news in Western Canada.
• Develop, pitch and deliver initiative stories.
• Use multimedia as appropriate to tell stories- graphics, pictures and TV.
• Work together with large global teams to break news and undertake reporting projects.

About You

You would be a good candidate for the role of Energy Reporter if your background includes:

• A minimum of four years of experience in journalism.
• Experience covering markets, commodities trading, and the oil industry.
• A proven track record in delivering exclusives, and extensive experience breaking news and handling big breaking stories in real time.
• Experience in developing deep sources, pitching, reporting and writing long-form stories.
• Strong writing and organizational skills.
• The ability to clearly explain complex subjects to a wide audience as well as to the professional reader.
