At APM Terminals, a global leader in port and terminal operations, we enable global trade and drive sustainable growth. What drives us forward is a mindset of always improving — observing how work happens, identifying what creates value, and removing what gets in the way. We constantly look for smarter, simpler, and safer ways of operating. If you thrive in environments where people value learning and are committed to continuously improve daily operations, join us and be apart of our journey.

As an AM Regional Inventory Specialist within the BIM Rapid Deployment Team, you will act as the single point of contact for inventory-related matters across brownfield and greenfield terminal projects. Based in The Hague, you will combine operational inventory expertise with global project deployment, supporting warehouse setup, ERP readiness, start-up spares, and terminal go-live activities. You will report to the Global Business Process Owner Inventory, with a dotted line to the Head of Business Integration – BIM.
