Job Description

Established in 1958 by Jim A. Haslam II and currently under the leadership of CEO Adam Wright, the company has a rich heritage built on foundational values with a people-first culture and a steadfast commitment to giving back to the community. With over 30,000 dedicated team members, Pilot Company has grown into a powerhouse in the energy and logistics sector. Its extensive operations cover a variety of domains, including supply chain and retail management, logistics and transportation services, technology and digital innovations, construction, human resources, finance, sales, and marketing. The energy and logistics division, a critical part of the company's operations, prides itself on maintaining one of the largest tanker fleets in the industry, supplying fuel to some of the nation’s busiest oil basins.
