This is an exciting career opportunity in an international, challenging business setting known for diversity and high paced environment. You will get to focus on creating valuable relations with current and new customers and work with highly professional teams in an environment where you will be valued, recognized, and well rewarded.

Purpose:

One of the core strategic pillars in APMT's strategy is operational excellence: "This is our platform for current and new terminals, where all value streams are standard, scalable, and replicable from acquisition, to construction, integration and all the way down to running a terminal". Implementing, optimizing and scaling Operations Technology will play a pivotal role in achieving our strategic goals, ranging from initiatives like implementing complex brownfield automation at a fast pace to optimize manhours per move or efforts to optimize running-hours per move by systemized solutions in our maritime terminals. To be successful, our terminals need to be supported by a focused, aligned and agile global team that adds value by Subject Matter Expertise, standardization and agile decision-making.

An important enabler for this to happen is the development of a future execution platform for APM terminals. We need to design, de-risk and create a plan for our eco-system of systems required to execute our future operations, embedding our Operations know-how and securing our IP.  The future execution platform covers the planning and execution processes for the APMT Enterprise. Information supporting these processes will be contributed to the APMT Enterprise Information Model, which is part of the overall Maersk Enterprise model.
