Who You Are
You may come from a maritime, shipping or terminal background with a focus on container logistics, but candidates with diverse experience and skill sets are encouraged to apply. You thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two shifts are the same. You work in a structured way, stay calm under pressure and enjoy solving operational challenges. You approach tasks logically and methodically and take pride in finding practical solutions.
Additionally, you bring:
A positive, team-oriented mindset with clear and constructive communication skills
The ability to work independently with a pragmatic approach
