Ready to step back from the pressure without stepping down?
You've built expertise in Project Cargo at a forwarder, and you're looking for something different now. This Senior Project Logistics role offers less stress, more satisfaction, and the chance to help build the next generation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's in It for You?
The Role: You'll work alongside a young, talented team (aged 26-32) who need your experience and guidance. This isn't a management position with P&L stress—it's a hands-on role where you mentor, support day-to-day operations, and help shorten their learning curve.
Project Details:
- Project values: €500k - €5m
- Regions: LATAM, Africa, Australia/New Zealand
- Industries: Mining, cement, recycling, hydropower, biomass, plus locomotives and rail cars
- Scope: Simple flat rack shipments to moving entire factories
Your Expertise Valued Daily:
- Seafreight OOG, Breakbulk, and Heavy Lift experience essential
- Commercial and operational freedom to make decisions
- No internal politics
Compensation & Lifestyle:
- Salary up to €90,000
- Work-life balance for the later stage of your career
- We're specifically seeking a more experienced professional who can be a role model for the team
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who You'll Be Working For
You'd be joining the Project Logistics division of a Top 15 freight forwarder—but one that operates with the dynamics and feel of a smaller business.
The Division:
- Built from scratch 15 years ago
- 28 people worldwide
- €25m annual turnover
- Profitable growth every year except one in 15 years
The Parent Company:
- €2.7bn turnover
- Family-owned and financially strong
- Provides stability without the politics
The Bremen Team:
- Currently 3 people in Bremen, 1 in Hamburg
- Division head visits Bremen every 2 weeks
- Long-term vision: grooming the next generation to take over in 10-15 years
- Centrally located, company-owned office
This division focuses on numbers, not logos—taking projects that make commercial sense rather than chasing big names for appearance. Unlike mega-project specialists, they maintain steady flow through spot and smaller cargo.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why Office-Based? This is a fully office-based role in Bremen because your presence and mentorship are essential. You need to be there when the team needs you—your presence is the point.
Why They're Hiring: They're not replacing anyone—they're adding to a team that works. They're patient enough to wait 9 months for the right person rather than rush the hire.

If you’re highly experienced in Project Logistics, understand both operational and commercial sides of project cargo, and you’d like to enjoy work again without management stress—this could be ideal.
