Supply Chain Coordinator

OLA Energy is looking for a highly organised and detail-oriented Supply Chain Coordinator to join its operations team in Dubai. This is an excellent opportunity for professionals who are passionate about logistics, petroleum distribution and supply chain management. As one of Africa's leading downstream energy companies, OLA Energy operates an extensive network of fuel stations, aviation fuel services, lubricants, LPG solutions and commercial fuel supply businesses across more than 15 African countries. The company continues expanding its regional operations while delivering reliable energy solutions to commercial, industrial and retail customers.

As a Supply Chain Coordinator, you will play a key role in ensuring the efficient movement of petroleum products, lubricants, LPG cylinders and operational materials throughout the company's supply chain. You will coordinate procurement activities, monitor inventory levels and support logistics operations to ensure products are delivered safely, efficiently and on schedule.

Your primary responsibility will be coordinating daily supply chain activities between suppliers, transport partners, warehouse teams and commercial departments. You will monitor inventory availability, track purchase orders, verify delivery schedules and ensure customer orders are fulfilled according to agreed timelines.

The successful candidate will prepare supply chain reports, monitor stock movement and analyse inventory performance to minimise shortages and optimise operational efficiency. You will also support demand forecasting by reviewing historical sales data, seasonal demand patterns and operational requirements to improve inventory planning.

Daily responsibilities include coordinating inbound and outbound shipments, maintaining supplier communication, monitoring transportation schedules and ensuring all logistics documentation is completed accurately. You will track fuel deliveries, lubricant distribution and warehouse inventory while ensuring compliance with company procedures and regulatory requirements.

You will work closely with procurement, warehouse operations, finance, sales and logistics departments to ensure smooth communication throughout the supply chain. Supporting continuous improvement initiatives aimed at reducing operational costs and improving service delivery will also form part of your responsibilities.

The role requires monitoring supplier performance, resolving delivery issues and maintaining accurate inventory records using Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. You will also assist with warehouse audits, stock reconciliation and inventory reporting to ensure operational accuracy.

Candidates should possess a Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, Operations Management or a related discipline. Previous experience in supply chain coordination, logistics, procurement, inventory management or warehouse operations will be considered a significant advantage.

Strong knowledge of Microsoft Excel is essential. Experience using SAP, Oracle ERP, Microsoft Dynamics or other inventory and supply chain management systems will strengthen your application. Familiarity with procurement processes, inventory control techniques and logistics planning is highly desirable.

Excellent analytical and organisational skills are required because you will regularly coordinate multiple shipments, suppliers and operational priorities simultaneously. Strong communication skills are equally important, as you will interact with transport companies, suppliers, internal departments and commercial partners on a daily basis.

Candidates should demonstrate problem-solving abilities, attention to detail and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced operational environment. Experience within the oil and gas, petroleum distribution, logistics or energy sectors will provide a competitive advantage.

OLA Energy offers employees a dynamic international working environment with opportunities to develop expertise in supply chain operations, petroleum logistics and energy distribution. The company supports employee growth through technical training, leadership development and exposure to large-scale international operations across multiple African markets.

Successful Supply Chain Coordinators may progress into positions such as Senior Supply Chain Coordinator, Logistics Manager, Procurement Specialist, Inventory Control Manager, Supply Chain Manager, Operations Manager or Regional Logistics Manager. Employees benefit from long-term career development opportunities within one of Africa's fastest-growing energy companies.

If you are passionate about logistics, inventory management and operational excellence, and you want to contribute to the efficient delivery of energy products across international markets, this is an excellent opportunity to build your career with OLA Energy.
