Job description

Company Overview

The fuel for the airlines is provided to the perimeter fence of the airport by eight separate fuel companies, and the aircraft are refuelled by one of several Into-Plane fuel companies operating at the Airport.

Responsibility for the fuel between its receipt at the airport perimeter and delivery out of the hydrant system to the Into-Plane Companies, lies with the Heathrow Hydrant Operating Company Limited (HHOpCo). It is responsible for leasing, managing, maintaining and operating Heathrow Airport’s two aviation fuel tank farms and three aviation fuel hydrant systems. HHOpCo is a JV between eight separate Companies - BP, British Airways, Exxon, Q8 Aviation, Shell, Total, Valero and Vitol.

The Company’s key aims are:

  • To ensure that the aviation fuel delivered out of the Heathrow hydrant systems is always on-specification and fit for purpose;
  • To achieve excellent health, personal safety, security and environmental (HSSE) performance, with a target of zero lost time injuries (LTIs), reportable cases, leaks or spills;

Over one-third are technicians who perform quality control tests on receipt of the fuel at the airport and in the tank farms each day prior to release into the hydrant systems. They also conduct routine tests at various times across the 650 refuelling points around the Airport. There are five Operations Controllers working shifts to ensure 24x7x365 control of the hydrant systems, determining which valves should be open and when, in order to deliver the fuel around the airport. Another five employees work in maintenance, checking and maintaining around 10,000 separate items of plant and equipment.
