In the port, the result of your work is there to see right away. Each working day is different and offers new opportunities. For us, no challenge is too big, as long as we work on it together.
Discover the fascinating surroundings at the port. Together, we're working to build the global port of the future. A port that's constantly developing. We are growing as a team. You will grow as a person.
Safety is always our first priority. You will receive personal protective equipment such as safety footwear, a helmet or a life-jacket and you will use them at all times. You will also benefit from regular training, tips and advice about safety at work.
How your career develops is down to you. Seizing opportunities to grow is in our DNA, so you can certainly count on our help. Your supervisor works with you to determine your objectives and help you achieve your ambitions. And if you're unsure about your career options, you can arrange to meet your colleagues from HR for an "On Course" discussion.
Your health and well-being are important. Let us guide you to a healthier lifestyle with the many programmes and campaigns we offer, including sports events, tips and support on topics such as nutrition, ergonomics, stopping smoking, stress, sleep and more besides.

Working somewhere with a great atmosphere is important. Putting your best foot forwards in a team with a true passion for the port. And that also includes a brilliant team-building session or excursion. Celebrating our successes together is also what we're about. Would you enjoy a cosy get-together at a summer barbecue or would you prefer to put on your best dance moves at our New Year Party?
You will receive a competitive salary, according to your individual work experience. The amount you earn is laid down in a salary scale for each class.
You can also be sure to receive a holiday allowance, an end-of-year bonus, meal vouchers and additional annual benefits such as sports and culture vouchers and ecocheques.
In addition to your statutory days' holiday, you will receive a generous number of additional days' leave, which you can use to achieve an ideal balance between your work and your private life. You can also save up your days' leave or receive payment in lieu for part of your leave allowance.
You can also benefit from some attractive insurance schemes, the costs of which are borne entirely by the Port Authority.
You can telework if your position allows. In order to achieve that, we will provide you with all the equipment you need to work comfortably and efficiently online.
