Real Estate Development Manager - Retail, Fuel & QSR

Ampol is Powered by People. It is a great place to work. We are an inclusive company, incredibly proud of our diversity, and we respect and value the contributions of all our people. 

Our company has always been about more than fuel.

From our origins until today, we’ve always been inspired by the role we can play in people’s lives – Ampol. Powering better journeys, today and tomorrow. 

Here at Ampol, we are proud of our heritage as Australia’s only owned fuel brand. Ampol is a proud company that has been part of Australia's story for more than a century, we have supported Australians to travel far and wide, and we’ll be here for centuries more, powering better journeys for today and tomorrow.

We are proud to be recognised as an employer of choice for women by WORK180 and are winners of an Employer Brand award through LinkedIn. Check out one of our key leader's career stories, supported by Ampol
