Job description

A Terminal Driver transports trailers and containers between loading docks, parking areas, and warehouses using a terminal truck.

Over de vacature:

As a Terminal Tractor Driver, you ensure that trailers with containers are accurately positioned and uncoupled.

What others see as a jumble of stacked containers, trailers, and cranes is a logical and structured whole to you.

The planning department loves your efficiency. Thanks to your precision, every trailer is in the right place on time, ready to move on. You maneuver safely and damage-free across the terminal and are also happy to help with other tasks, such as forklift work. You make a part of the port your domain and contribute to a pleasant working environment with great colleagues.
