Summary
Fuel sales clerks sell and supply fuels such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and LP gas to customers, handling inventory management, equipment inspections, and safety management in retail operations.
Description
Fuel sales clerks operate fuel pumps and meters at gas stations or LP gas sales outlets to accurately measure and dispense fuel. They perform customer service, safety checks, payment and cash register operations, and support store operations including inventory management, simple inspections, and cleaning. Since fuels are hazardous materials, compliance with laws and safety management are crucial, and obtaining a dangerous goods handler qualification is required. In self-service operations, they handle troubleshooting and operation instructions, while in full-service operations, they provide services such as refueling and window cleaning. Physical stamina and interpersonal skills are required during night shifts or in cold weather.
Future Outlook
Although gasoline demand is declining with the spread of EVs, operations are diversifying due to electric vehicle charging infrastructure management and LP gas demand. Safety management and providing value-added services are required, making the acquisition of related knowledge and skills important.
