Energy distributor managing petroleum, natural gas, and bulk storage infrastructure
Colonial Group operates a mid-market energy distribution and storage business across petroleum products, natural gas, and industrial chemicals, serving transportation, industrial, and marine customers. The hiring mix skews operations-heavy (40% of active roles) with active projects spanning physical infrastructure (asset refurbishment, tank testing, new construction) and IT modernization (integrating IT with operational technology, automating IT practices, designing infrastructure for acquisitions). Pain points cluster around supply-chain efficiency (freight costs, driver shortages, delivery timelines) and the operational burden of integrating acquisitions—suggesting a company scaling through M&A while managing legacy infrastructure.
