**Shift Supervisor – Valero Milford Haven** At Svitzer, we keep global trade moving — safely, efficiently, and as one team. We’re looking for a Shift Supervisor to lead operations at the Valero Refinery in Milford Haven. This is a pivotal role responsible for delivering safe, compliant and efficient shift operations while setting the standard for performance, behaviour and teamwork. **About the role** As Shift Supervisor, you will coordinate crewing across berthing, mooring and line boat activities, ensuring suitably qualified personnel are assigned to every task and that training and competencies are maintained. You’ll take ownership of shift delivery — managing handovers, crew allocation, operational records, and daily coordination with both Svitzer and Valero teams. While you are responsible for leading your designated shift, your role carries accountability across all Svitzer personnel operating at Valero, ensuring consistent standards, behaviours and compliance are maintained at all times. You’ll lead from the front, demonstrating high standards, confidently delegating responsibility, and addressing non-compliance where required. A key part of the role is maintaining accurate operational records, including vessel activity, vehicle and boat checks, defect reporting, timesheets and crew scheduling. **Safety, leadership and performance** Safety is central to everything we do. You’ll promote a strong safety culture through HIT tools and Lifesaving Rules, supporting our key stakeholder, Valero, in achieving their Goal Zero standards and requirements. You’ll ensure incidents, hazards and near misses are reported, investigated and learned from, while creating an environment where people feel confident to speak up. By placing people at the heart of operations, you’ll drive engagement, accountability and development, supporting continuous improvement and enabling both individual and team growth. You’ll also play a key role in motivating and developing your team, driving
