At Fuel Installations, we don’t just hire “digger drivers.” We look for Operators professionals who take pride in the finesse of their work. Operating on a retail fuel site is different. You’ll be working in tight spaces, around live services, and excavating for underground fuel tanks. It requires a calm head, a steady hand, and a total commitment to site safety. If you’re tired of the monotony of subdivision work and want a role where your technical skill is actually noticed, this is it.
