Job Description
Go far with IOR
IOR might be the greatest Aussie success story you haven’t heard of… yet.
From humble roots in Eromanga, QLD, we’ve been fuelling the furthest corners of Australia for over 40 years. But we think the most exciting journey’s still on the horizon.
Joining IOR means stepping into a role where your work genuinely matters. Whether you’re shaping market pathways, unlocking new infrastructure, or leading complex energy solutions, you’ll be part of a business that backs bold thinking and decisive execution. This is your opportunity to play a defining role in Australia’s evolving onshore energy market and help position IOR as a leading integrated energy and services partner.
About the role
As Head of Oil & Gas, you will lead and execute IOR’s Oil & Gas strategy end-to-end from upstream aggregation through to refining, logistics, and market delivery.
This is a hands-on, high-accountability leadership role focused on supporting existing and building new supply chains, unlocking stranded value, and integrating infrastructure across the business.
You will play a central role in:
- Developing condensate and crude oil aggregation pathways
- Integrating supply into refining and downstream markets
- Building CNG and LNG solutions to unlock new demand
- Shaping infrastructure, export, and domestic market access strategies
- You’ll also act as IOR’s senior representative across the Oil & Gas sector, working closely with producers, partners, government, and regulators.
What you’ll be responsible for
- Own and deliver IOR’s integrated Oil & Gas strategy across condensate, crude, gas, refining, and downstream energy
- Build and scale aggregation, storage, and export pathways for liquids
- Hold P&L accountability for the Eromanga Refinery - optimising feedstock, throughput, and margin
- Lead development of virtual pipeline solutions and new energy applications
- Drive commercial outcomes with key customers, partners, and producers
- Represent IOR at a senior level across industry and government
What you’ll bring
You’re an operator, not just a strategist.
You’re comfortable in complexity and ambiguity, and you know how to turn opportunity into execution.
You’ll bring:
- Proven leadership in Oil & Gas, energy, fuels, or infrastructure
- Strong commercial instincts with real P&L ownership experience
- Ability to develop and execute new market pathways and business models
- Technical grounding across assets, logistics, or energy systems.
- Credibility with senior stakeholders across industry and government
- A bias for action and a willingness to get close to the detail
This is a rare opportunity to build something meaningful.
Real impact – you’ll shape how energy moves across Australia
Speed and ownership – decisions are made and executed quickly
Growth platform – backed for expansion with significant infrastructure investment ahead
Variety – upstream, midstream, downstream, and emerging energy in one role
We’re not a traditional energy company — and we’re not trying to be.
Why join IOR?
Approaching each day through our values of Innovation finding solutions, Our Communities serving people, and Reliability getting results, our team is focused on delivering what really matters to our customers. It’s this mindset that drives us forward. We’re about so much more than fuel. We’re about three key things:
Right Team: It’s the kind of place where you walk in the door and instantly know you belong
Right Track: We’re going somewhere, and as we get bigger, so do the opportunities to get stuck in and challenge yourself
Right Now: There’s no dragging feet or endless committees here. We deliver for Australia every single day
You’ll also be rewarded with a range of benefits, including:
- Grow your expertise and career with access to experienced mentors and ongoing training and development opportunities
- Team member and family discounts on fuel (obviously!)
- Work hard, play hard with our Blue Squad social club – trivia nights, barbecues and plenty of laughs!
- Plus salary sacrificing options, retail and health care discounts, Employee Assistance Program, and much more
