About ATOM
ATOM specialises in managing and operating bulk fuel terminals across Australia for our customers, with services ranging from storage and handling of bulk liquid fuels to maintenance and engineering.
Our team is made up of a great network of experts with a wealth of experience in providing the very best in fuel terminal operations in Australia. We have a highly engaged workforce with 96% of our people recommending ATOM as a great place to work (2025 People Engagement Survey). Our priorities are simple: deliver safe, reliable, and effective terminal operations, maintenance and engineering services for our customers wherever we operate.
ATOM has a strong focus on employee experience, wellness, workforce diversity & inclusion, as well as salary continuance insurance and competitive salaries.
Job Description
About the Role
Our Shift Operator handles the control and safe and efficient running of the terminal.
Based at our Port Hedland site, day to day you can expect to ensure HSSE and terminal operating rules and regulations are being followed, monitor and maintain site integrity through the identification of hazards/risks and implement controls, and be accountable for pipeline, tankship product receipting and rail.
Our Shift Operators are also responsible for administration, reporting, and scheduling, including maintaining policies & procedures and updating work instructions.
About You
Being a go-getter with a strong team-playing attitude is essential, as is a willingness to learn new things, great time management skills and solid organisational skills. An eye for continuous improvement is a big plus, as well having a good understanding of MS Office software.
It’s desirable if you’ve worked in high-risk environments, or ideally bulk fuel or terminal operations roles, but if you haven't, you'll have access to a variety of learning experiences and a strong knowledgeable crew. This is supported by a Leadership Team that lives by its values and continuously strives to cultivate an inclusive, professional and socially responsible team environment.
Flexiblilty is important given the operational needs of our terminals span 24/7. On ATOM's "lifestyle/sportsman" shift roster, you can expect a pattern of day and night hours, weekend shifts, and stretches of time off in between to catch up on R&R.
Diversity & Inclusion
ATOM strongly values diversity in our people, so we want to hear from those who have worked across a wide array of industries and have diverse backgrounds - gender, cultural, professional experiences, etc.
ATOM has a strong focus on employee experience, wellness, workforce diversity & inclusions, and we recognise that even if you don't have fuel experience, those with good experience in other industries can strengthen the way we work.
Benefits and Culture
Career development and progression pathways
A strong teamwork focus and diversity & inclusion focus, which we consider the backbone of our great culture
Wellness initiative, including EAP
Salary Continuance Insurance
Competitive Salary
At ATOM, our people are our greatest strength and we’re excited to welcome someone who shares our commitment to safety, teamwork, and excellence.
