No two shipments look the same in project logistics. The cargo is different, the solution is different, and the satisfaction of getting it right is unlike anything standard freight forwarding offers.

Now imagine owning the outcome from first enquiry through to completion with a dedicated project team behind you. The wins are sweeter, technical knowledge is shared, and you'll be in a growing team where your project logistics experience comes into play.

This is a newly created Project Manager role for a team you know in the market. Strong national foothold & project cargo capability across all major ports, and the commercial infrastructure to back up every solution you put in front of a client. You’ll act as a trusted member of their commercial team, with direct visibility to the directors.

If you’ve been doing project logistics and looking for the autonomy to make things happen and devise practical project cargo solutions, this is worth considering.
