IOR might be the greatest Aussie success story you haven’t heard of… yet.

From humble roots in Eromanga, QLD, we’ve been fuelling the furthest corners of Australia for over 40 years. You won’t see our logo on racing cars. Instead, you’ll be part of a team that helps fuel LifeFlight’s choppers and supports communities around the nation - real work with real impact that’s growing every day.

Join a growing aviation business shaping the future of regional airport infrastructure across Australia. In this role, you’ll be part of a development team hyper focused developing airport fuel sites, manage end-to-end capital projects, and act as the key liaison for airport owners, councils and regulators. You’ll bring deep aviation fuel expertise, strong project management capability and a safety-first mindset to ensure compliant, high-quality outcomes in some of the country’s most unique and remote operating environments.

About the role

lead the charge in finding and negotiating with airports for the development and delivery of aviation fuel infrastructure across regional airports, ensuring safe, compliant and commercially sound outcomes. Acting as the key link between airport owners, councils, regulators, engineers and internal teams, the role drives new site development, oversees fuel‑related capital projects, and identifies opportunities to grow our aviation network while maintaining the highest standards of safety and regulatory compliance.

  • Lead the identification, assessment and development of new fuel farms and regional airport infrastructure
  • Act as the primary liaison for airport owners, local councils, regulators and key external stakeholders
  • Manage end‑to‑end fuel infrastructure projects, from feasibility and budgeting through to commissioning and handover
  • Work with the sales team to identify growth opportunities and expand on‑airport commercial activity

About You

You’re an aviation fuel specialist with hands‑on experience in Jet A‑1 and Avgas operations, backed by strong project delivery capability in regulated environments. You understand the unique challenges of working in regional and remote Australia and communicate complex technical requirements with clarity and confidence

  • Proven experience in aviation fuel operations (Jet A‑1/Avgas), including storage, handling and quality control
  • Strong understanding of the logistical and environmental challenges of working in regional and remote Australia
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate technical requirements for non‑technical stakeholders
  • A safety‑first mindset with experience in risk assessment and incident prevention, plus willingness to travel frequently (up to 50%)
  • Ability to obtain an ASIC

Why join IOR?

Approaching each day through our values of Innovation finding solutions, Our Communities serving people, and Reliability getting results, our team is focused on delivering what really matters to our customers. It’s this mindset that drives us forward. We’re about so much more than fuel. We’re about three key things:

  • Right Team: It’s the kind of place where you walk in the door and instantly know you belong
  • Right Track: We’re going somewhere, and as we get bigger, so do the opportunities to get stuck in and challenge yourself
  • Right Now: There’s no dragging feet or endless committees here. We deliver for Australia every single day

You’ll also be rewarded with a range of benefits, including:

  • Grow your expertise and career with access to experienced mentors and ongoing training and development opportunities
  • Team member and family discounts on fuel (obviously!)
  • Work hard, play hard with our Blue Squad social club – trivia nights, barbecues and plenty of laughs!
  • Plus salary sacrificing options, retail and health care discounts, Employee Assistance Program, and much more

About IOR

At IOR, we have delivered on the simple things that have kept our customers moving for over 40 years. Coming up with new ideas to solve everyday problems, sharing our success and growth with the community, and keeping our promises.

Since we commenced operations in 1984, we’ve grown with our customers, and we’ve been the fuelling force behind those industries critical to the lives of all Australians. Industries and businesses that put food on our plates, move goods from A to B, keep the lights on, and put a roof over our heads.

The secret to our success is in our people who know the importance of listening to our customers, delivering value, and serving our communities. Together, we can do anything. We get it done. We make it happen. And no job is too big or too small.

We’re proud to be the only Australian operated fuel supplier who has operations throughout the entire fuel value chain: a crude oil refinery, two import terminals, a growing bulk fuel delivery fleet, on-road and on-airport fuel networks, fuel infrastructure manufacturing, and proprietary fuel management technology.

Core to our business is our on-road refuelling network, serving the needs of Australia’s transport industry. Our first location opened in Winton in 2005, and today we operate over 100 locations.

Our 40-year history has been an incredible journey. And the journey is far from over.

A hallmark of our success has been the emphasis placed on listening and collaborating with our customers and communities to deliver what they need to keep moving. Where our customers have a requirement for which a solution doesn’t yet exist, we have filled that gap.

As industry’s energy needs evolve, we look forward to working hand in hand with our customers and growing together as we aim to serve more people, in more places by always offering better value energy solutions.

No matter what the future holds, IOR will be Fuelling Australia and keeping our customers going and growing for another 40 years.
