About Unioil Petroleum Philippines, Inc.

Unioil Petroleum Philippines, Inc. is one of the country’s leading independent downstream petroleum companies, operating a network of retail service stations and supplying fuels, lubricants, and petrochemical products to industrial, commercial, and retail customers across the Philippines. We are committed to delivering quality energy solutions while fostering a culture of excellence, integrity, and continuous growth.

Fuel the Future With Us

The Road Transport Safety Specialist is responsible for implementing and sustaining the Health, Safety, Security, and Environment (HSSE) programs that govern Unioil’s fuel transport operations. The role drives safety performance across the hauler network, ensures full regulatory compliance, and builds strong partnerships with our best-performing hauling contractors. More than a compliance monitor, the Specialist serves as a capable field partner to haulers — equipping them to meet standards, supporting continuous improvement, and recognizing excellence in safety practice.

• Participate in U-Check activities and submit U-Spot field observations to surface unsafe acts and near-misses early

Incident Investigation & Corrective Action

• Lead investigations of transport-related incidents, accidents, near-misses, and security events using Root Cause Analysis or 5-Why
• Prepare Transport Incident Reports with root causes, contributing factors, and time-bound corrective action plans
• Track corrective and preventive actions through to verified closure and share lessons learned across the hauler network

Hauler Performance Management & Partnership

• Maintain a quarterly hauler safety scorecard covering HSSE performance, compliance, incident history, and driver quality
• Conduct data-driven performance dialogues and co-develop improvement plans with underperforming haulers
• Identify and recognize high-performing haulers and drivers to support merit-based partner retention
• Serve as the primary field relationship point between UPPI Fuel Transport and hauler safety and operations teams

Success Measures

• Zero lapses in driver and truck accreditation, licenses, medical clearances, and permits
• Timely release of JMPs and on-time submission of fatigue logs
• Completion of scheduled emergency drills, tabletop exercises, and toolbox meetings
• Timely incident investigation and verified closure of corrective actions
• Improved hauler safety scorecard results and retention of top-performing hauling partners
