Vacancy: Fuel Truck Driver
Vehicles without fuel are just metal by the roadside. Everything that moves in the brigade keeps moving only as long as the fuel truck driver keeps up with refuelling it.
The fuel truck driver supplies the unit's vehicles with fuel: delivers and dispenses fuel, keeps records and is responsible for safe working practices.
This is a position where it is not just one vehicle that depends on you, but the mobility of the unit as a whole.
Who can become a fuel truck driver
A driving licence is required. Experience with fuel-servicing vehicles is an advantage, but you will be trained without it too.
What really matters:
- Driving licence of the relevant category
- Care and discipline: fuel does not forgive carelessness
- Attention to record-keeping — a fuel shortfall becomes a problem for the whole unit
- Knowledge of safety rules for handling fuels and lubricants
- Medical fitness — determined by the military medical board (VLK)
How a fuel truck driver differs from a category-licensed driver: the fuel truck driver carries a specific cargo — fuel — with its own safety and record-keeping rules. The other transports people, vehicles and property.
What a fuel truck driver does in the 141st SMB
In addition to what is described in the requirements above:
- Delivering fuel to where vehicles are located
- Refuelling the unit's vehicles
- Keeping records of fuel issued and received
- Checking that fuel-servicing vehicles are in working order
- Following safety rules when handling fuels and lubricants
How you will be trained
The path is the same for everyone: 51 days of basic military training, then the brigade adaptation course — 14–15 days with instructors who have combat experience.
Next comes specialist training in operating fuel-servicing vehicles, safety rules and record-keeping.
Tactical medicine is drilled until it becomes automatic. Our instructors' principle is short: the priority is to survive.
What you will be provided with
You will be fully kitted out: gear, protective equipment and the equipment you need for the job.
You will not be alone. The fuel truck driver works in a support unit — alongside other drivers, the technical team and the logistics service.
What the terms include:
- Pay: base pay of UAH 21,000 + an additional bonus of UAH 30,000 — approximately UAH 51,000 – 55,000 per month in total, depending on the position and conditions of service
- Full provision of gear, protective equipment and military property
- The social package provided for service members
- Opportunity to obtain combatant status (UBD)
Where you can grow
- Senior driver responsible for fuel supply in a sector
- Related specialties: category-licensed driver, special vehicle driver
- Logistics service — supply accounting and planning
- The technical track, for those who want to move into repairs
In the 141st, competence and results count — not length of service.
