You report to the Contract Supervisor, and your working hours vary between 08:00 and 17:00.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

You bring:

• Good command of the English language, both written and spoken

At CEVA Logistics, there are plenty of opportunities to get the best out of yourself and your career. In addition to a dynamic environment in which we achieve our goals together at a high pace and in a results-oriented manner, we offer a position with room for fun and connection.
