As a trusted partner in the defence industry, UGL plays a significant role in supporting the Australian Defence Force across more than 100 locations nationwide. Our expertise spans operations and maintenance, asset management, and fuel supply services, ensuring we deliver safely, effectively, and sustainably.
The role reports to a UGL Leading Hand or Supervisor, with day‑to‑day tasks directed by the commanding officer or equivalent within the squadron you support. Key duties involve operating fuel tanker trucks, safely loading fuel, delivering it to designated points including refuelling stations and aircraft on the runway, operating pumps for efficient transfer, and communicating effectively with internal and external teams.
