About The Position
The Driver Tractor Trailer/System Operator (DSO) operates refueling and defueling trucks in support of aviation refueling objectives. The role requires at least two years of documented experience and qualification to perform fuel servicing using mobile fuel servicing trucks, truck-supplied pantographs and hose sets, and fixed direct fuel servicing systems, including hydrant and hot-pit systems. Before operating fuel servicing equipment without supervision, the DSO must pass base and flight-line familiarization and practical equipment and facility competency tests, be certified as qualified, and have their training record updated. The DSO must be familiar with safety regulations for aviation and ground fuel servicing around airfields and supported activities, and demonstrate practical knowledge of inspecting and maintaining fuel servicing equipment and systems, including grounding and bonding, truck inspections, refueling equipment inspections, and flight-line safety.
