Job Description

As a Terminal Operator, you'll be part of the team that keeps essential fuel products moving safely and reliably through our Brisbane Terminals. Supporting both terminal and shipping operations, you'll play a key role in ensuring the safe receipt, storage and distribution of fuel products while helping maintain the integrity and reliability of terminal operations.

This role is offered as a max-term contract until July 2027, with the possibility of extension or permanency for the right candidate.

This is a hands-on role where no two days are the same. You'll work closely with colleagues, contractors and vessel operators, learning a broad range of terminal and shipping activities while contributing to a strong safety culture and operational excellence.

What You'll Be Doing

• Keep the terminal running safely by identifying hazards, managing risks, and supporting a culture where safety is always the highest priority.
• Support terminal and shipping operations to ensure fuel products are received, stored and transferred safely, efficiently and in accordance with operational requirements.
• Monitor and maintain site integrity through regular inspections, hazard identification and implementation of appropriate controls.
• Work alongside contractors and service providers to ensure HSSE requirements, terminal rules and operating procedures are followed at all times.
• Respond to operational issues in real time, escalating concerns and supporting solutions that keep terminal activities running smoothly and safely.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives by identifying opportunities to improve safety, reliability and operational performance.
• Learn and develop across a broad range of terminal and shipping processes, with comprehensive training provided to build your technical knowledge and capability.
• Work a varying roster, including some night and weekend shifts, as part of a team supporting operations seven days a week.

• Excellent time management and organisational abilities
• A proactive approach to safety and risk management
• A willingness to learn new systems, processes and technical skills
• Experience working in high-risk or highly regulated environments (advantageous but not essential)
