An exciting opportunity has arisen at OPA, as we seek to appoint a new Operations Manager, to be based at our OFD (Oil Fuel Depot) at Thanckes, Torpoint, Cornwall.

This is a hands-on supervisory role ensuring the safe delivery, efficient receipt, storage, and issue of POL (Petroleum Oil and Lubricant) bulk products for HM Navy, RFA (Royal Fleet Auxiliary) and other OPA customers, ensuring at all times activities are compliant with COMAH Regulations, with an exceptionally strong focus on ensuring no harm to people or the environment.

Whilst working as part of the Operations team, this role is directly responsible to the site Depot Manager to support and carry out all aspects of operational tasks. As well as providing general supervision and direction for berthing, and general shipping operations, with particular emphasis to jetty/ shipping operations, and close liaison with third parties for the deployment of fenders, line handling and ancillary jetty services.

This pivotal operational role also deputises along with the Depot Engineer for the Depot Manager, and the successful post holder must be prepared to take on any necessary responsibilities and make appropriate decisions.

Your interpersonal skills, and ability to build and maintain relationships with all our stakeholders, both internal and external, will need to be second to none.

Some occasional travel with overnight stays to other sites may be required, there a full (preferably clean) driving licence is essential.
