Job Description:
Lead a strategically important UK fuel terminal, combining responsibility for safety, people, operational performance and value creation with the opportunity to help shape its future role in a changing energy system.
What’s the role
We are looking for an experienced operational leader to manage Shell's Kingsbury Terminal, a strategically important fuel distribution facility located north of Birmingham.
Kingsbury is a major UK fuel terminal supplying aviation fuel to major UK airports as well as fuels to customers across the Midlands and beyond. The terminal handles approximately 2 billion litres of product each year, with around 90,000 m³ of storage capacity across 14 tanks and eight loading bays.
As Terminal Manager, you will have overall responsibility for the safe, compliant and commercially effective operation of the site. This is a significant leadership position combining operational accountability, process safety, regulatory compliance, people leadership, stakeholder management and financial performance.
What you’ll be doing
You will lead a team of approximately 10 employees, working closely with contractors and specialists across engineering, safety, supply and commercial functions to deliver safe, reliable and efficient terminal operations.
- Provide visible leadership for process safety, personal safety and environmental performance, creating a culture where safe operations and effective risk management come first.
- Take overall accountability for the terminal's day-to-day operations, including receipt of fuel by pipeline, storage and road-loading activities.
- Ensure the terminal operates in accordance with all applicable legislation, permits, standards and regulatory requirements.
- Lead the site as an upper-tier Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) establishment, maintaining strong process-safety management, emergency preparedness and regulatory compliance.
- Lead, develop and motivate employees and contractors, building an inclusive, accountable and high-performing team.
- Manage site financial performance, including operating expenditure, investment priorities and opportunities to improve efficiency and create value.
- Maintain effective relationships with regulators, emergency services, business partners, customers, contractors and other external stakeholders.
- Work closely with engineering and technical teams to maintain asset integrity, reliability and the safe delivery of maintenance and investment projects.
- Drive continuous improvement in operational performance, reliability, efficiency and ways of working.
- Contribute to the site's longer-term strategy, including opportunities associated with the transition towards lower-carbon fuels.
What you bring
You will bring a strong background in operations, engineering or asset management within a high-hazard or safety-critical environment. Experience gained in fuels, terminals, chemicals, petrochemicals, refining, aviation, energy, utilities or a comparable process industry would be particularly relevant.
You should be able to demonstrate:
- Strong leadership within a high-hazard or highly regulated operational environment.
- A thorough understanding of process safety, operational risk, regulatory compliance and emergency response.
- The ability to set clear direction, make sound operational decisions and maintain high standards under pressure.
- Experience leading and developing multidisciplinary teams, including employees and contractors.
- Strong commercial judgement, including experience managing budgets, controlling costs and identifying opportunities to improve business performance.
- The ability to work effectively with engineering and technical specialists and make balanced decisions involving safety, reliability, cost and operational priorities.
- Strong stakeholder-management skills, including the confidence to engage with regulators, external authorities, business partners and senior leaders.
- The ability to lead change, challenge existing ways of working constructively and build a culture of continuous improvement.
Knowledge of fuel distribution, terminal operations, supply chains or commodity trading would be advantageous, but is not essential where you can demonstrate transferable leadership experience from another high-hazard industry.
Why this role?
This is an opportunity to lead a strategically important piece of UK energy infrastructure, with substantial responsibility for people, safety, operational performance and value.
The role combines hands-on operational leadership with the opportunity to influence the future development of the terminal as the energy system evolves. Kingsbury already plays an important role in conventional and aviation fuel supply, with potential to support the growth of lower-carbon fuels.
