Are you passionate about shipping operations and eager to optimise cargo flows across an international network? Would you like to unlock your potential in a global company with extraordinary development possibilities? Then seize this chance and embark on a two-year journey that prepares you for an international career in Shipping & Logistics!

Shipping Solutions EAM is seeking a driven and proactive Graduate for the Operations track who can make data-driven decisions to improve operational efficiency and develop cost-effective transportation solutions.

Join our Graduate Programme at Shipping Solutions EAM

The Shipping Solutions EAM Graduate Programme 2027 is your gateway to an exciting international career!

During the two-year programme, you are based at our headquarters in Aarhus, Denmark, with rotations across several departments and our local sites in Europe. Through hands-on experience, you gain international exposure, build a strong understanding of key business areas, and acquire the tools necessary to make a real impact in the industry.

By the end of the programme, you'll have a broad business understanding and the skills to make a meaningful impact within Shipping and Network Operations. Furthermore, you'll have a solid foundation for an accelerated, international career within our company.

Our people are our core, and we are committed to fostering professional growth through a hands-on learning approach. By engaging with colleagues, customers, and vendors, you will gain deep insights into our business operations. Our workplace culture is informal yet highly collaborative, with a shared goal of delivering efficient supply chains for our customers, collaborating across teams and regions, from headquarters to local operational functions.

This position is based at our headquarters in Aarhus, Denmark, which will relocate to our new state-of-the-art facility, Irmahus, in Aarhus Ø in early 2027, and we are seeking candidates who are already based in Denmark. Please note that this is a temporary two-year position, during which you spend up to six months abroad in one or more of our European offices.

Who are we?

DP World’s Shipping Solutions EAM (formerly Unifeeder A/S) connects ports, businesses and markets across Europe and the Americas. As part of DP World’s Marine Services business, we transport containers by sea between major international ports and smaller regional ports, helping goods reach the markets where they are needed.

Our services are an important link in the journey from producer to customer. When containers arrive at a major port on a large ocean-going ship, we transport them to regional ports, bringing the goods inside closer to businesses and consumers. With frequent departures and an extensive network of routes, we help customers keep their supply chains running reliably.

Behind every journey is a team coordinating ships, planning routes and working closely with customers and partners. Safety and reliable service are central to how we work, as we continue to improve our network and take practical steps to reduce emissions.
