What’s the role


Shell is seeking a Terminal Operator to join a team of four operations personnel at the Hamilton Terminal site. This role is essential to delivering safe and reliable operations for a range of fuel customers, including both Shell and non-Shell, in the local market.

Strict adherence to Shell’s policies, regulatory standards, and Code of Conduct is essential to maintaining our License to Operate. The Terminal Operator oversees product handling, maintenance activities, and gate to gate efficiency, while serving as a key interface with contractors and carriers.

The role also includes responsibilities for the receipt, storage, and distribution of products. The Hamilton Terminal receives and distributes refined products via pipeline and truck. While pipeline operations are typically managed remotely, on-site operators must remain trained and capable of managing them to ensure business continuity.

  • Perform daily reconciliation of product inventories including transaction and documentation of product movements and analysis of loss/gain variances

  • Manage Permit to Work (PtW) including confined space entry, control of electrostatic hazards and working at heights, including task observations

  • Perform daily inspections and execute routine maintenance and housekeeping as per global and local Terminal Operating standards in order to ensure a safe, secure, and environmentally sound operation

  • Troubleshoot loading rack and other terminal system malfunctions

  • Conduct quality assurance sampling and testing of products

  • Act as liaison with internal and external stakeholders as required to maximize terminal operation and reliability

  • Communicate with the Remote Operations Centre, providing input on tank levels, upcoming pipeline and truck deliveries, and scheduled maintenance to ensure business continuity and safe operations

What you bring

  • Must have legal authorization to work in Canada on a full-time basis for anyone other than current employer

  • Must have a High School Diploma

  • Must be willing to obtain Petroleum Mechanic License (TSSA PM3)

  • Must possess a valid driver's license

  • At least 3 years of relevant experience in petrochemical industry

  • Must be willing to work on-call shifts, including nights and weekends, with occasional overtime and travel as needed
