Petroleum Tank Systems & Contracts Coordinato at AFD Petroleum Ltd. – Nisku, Alberta

Petroleum Tank Systems & Contracts Coordinator

Summary

We are looking for a highly organized coordinator to oversee the systems, permits, contracts, and documentation for our company-owned and rental fuel tanks. This role ensures tanks are properly permitted, correctly configured in monitoring and fuel systems, cost-controlled, and fully ready before deployment to customers.

This is an office-based coordination role — not hands-on mechanical or field work.

• Employee Discount on fuel and safety boot reimbursement program.
• Educational assistance.
• Career development.

This role is the main office coordinator for our rental and company-owned fuel tanks.

You are the person who makes sure:

• Tanks are properly permitted before they go out
• Monitoring and fuel systems are set up correctly
• Inventory matches approved build specs
• Parts are ordered correctly and cost-effectively
• Contracts are tracked and managed properly
• Data plans and monitoring costs stay under control
