About The Position

Shell is seeking a Terminal Operator to join its team in Sault Ste. Marie (SSM).

The SSM Terminal receives refined products (ethanol-blended gasoline and distillate) via rail and truck. These products are offloaded into onsite storage tanks and then distributed to the local market through the truck loading rack. This role is well suited for individuals who are highly ambitious, safety-conscious, and able to thrive in complex and uncertain environments. It offers opportunities for growth and development within a business that encourages continuous learning, and you will be part of a dynamic and diverse team. The operator role is at the frontline of the company’s operations. In addition, this role requires on-site presence, with overtime as needed, and participation in a rotating 24/7 on-call schedule.
