Z has a clear purpose: Powering better journeys, today and tomorrow. As one of New Zealand's largest transport energy companies, we have a commitment to delivering safe, secure, and reliable transport energy - with the opportunity to deliver new journeys, with new energy solutions in a changing world.

We are proud to be the Kiwi contingent in the Ampol Group, an independent Trans-Tasman energy company, with trading offices across the globe, which are united behind our shared purpose.

We are looking to welcome a Ringahāpai Tumu Herenga Waka Terminal Operator to the Z whānau based at our Timaru Terminal.

So, what is a Terminal? A Terminal is a critical piece of infrastructure that receives petrol and diesel from Ships which is pumped into large storage tanks. Trucks then load at the Terminal and deliver to Service Stations and Truck Stops to meet the energy needs of our customers.

What does working at a Z Fuel Terminal involve? A typical day might see you recording stock movements, carrying out Safety and Wellbeing observations, assisting bulk Ship receipts into storage tanks, taking fuel samples to check the quality, inducting contractors onto site, and more. Our Terminal Operations typically happen during business hours Monday to Friday, however at times there is a need for overtime (afterhours and weekends).
