Bulk Plant Supervisor

As a Bulk Plant Supervisor, you oversee sales operations at a petroleum bulk storage and distribution facility. You're managing the team that handles orders from gas stations, commercial accounts, and agricultural customers. Your work bridges sales, logistics, and operations — ensuring orders are processed correctly and deliveries are coordinated with the transport team.

Your days involve customer management and operational coordination. You might start by reviewing orders and scheduling deliveries with dispatch, then handle a pricing question from a commercial account, then work through a billing discrepancy, then coach your team on safety procedures. Fuel distribution is highly regulated, so compliance is woven into everything you do.

The hardest part is managing the volatility. Fuel prices change constantly, and customers watch closely. You need to maintain relationships through price increases while hitting margin targets. Seasonal demand swings — heating oil in winter, agricultural fuel during planting and harvest — require anticipating needs and managing inventory. The people who thrive here are organized, customer-focused, and comfortable with commodity market dynamics.
