Purpose of Role:
Tankr is seeking a Travel Lead Fuel Delivery Driver in Detroit, Michigan. The Travel Lead Fuel Technician is a critical team member responsible for ensuring successful market launches, supporting understaffed regions, and providing emergency fuel delivery services during disasters. This role involves transporting and delivering gasoline and diesel directly to commercial client locations and refueling vehicles and equipment, primarily during nighttime hours when equipment is idle. The ideal candidate must demonstrate technical expertise, strong logistical coordination, adaptability, and problem-solving skills to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable fuel delivery while maintaining Tankr’s high standards of service..
The equipment includes, but is not limited to, trucks, cars, forklifts, generators, and air compressors. Compliance with OSHA, EPA, FMCSA, and DOT regulations, as well as adherence to Company and Customer Safety Policies, procedures, and practices, is essential as this position may involve working in various weather conditions, a high level of physical activity, and being around fumes and high noise levels. The Fuel Technician must be available to work evenings, overnights, and weekends. Our services run seven days a week and shift schedules vary.
This is not a bulk drop position. It is a mobile fleet fueling role, which involves fueling multiple vehicles within a fleet at various locations.
We expect our employee to have a winning attitude, a strong work ethic, and for them to take pride in their work.
