BULK FOR LIFE
From the electricity that powers your home to the vehicle that gets you to work and even the bread on your table - all rely on the movement of bulk commodities. And chances are, these essential materials passed through one of HES International's terminals. With a team of over 1,300 dedicated professionals, we operate 24/7 to ensure seamless delivery of bulk commodities for our customers across the globe. As Europe's largest multi-purpose independent bulk handling company, we excel in managing liquid and dry bulk products, connecting deep-draft terminals to inland distribution networks via pipeline, barge, truck, and train.

Join our dynamic team and contribute to an industry leader committed to shaping the future of bulk logistics. Together, we keep the world's essential commodities moving - powering economies and improving everyday life.

ARE YOU READY TO MAKE AN IMPACT?
Are you ready to lead a portfolio of Europe's most groundbreaking energy transition projects? At our terminals in Wilhelmshaven and Rotterdam, we are developing cutting-edge New Energies facilities that will play a key role in reducing industrial emissions across Europe. Core pillars of our New Energies portfolio include the development of new CO₂ terminals in both locations and hydrogen derivatives import and processing facilities in Wilhelmshaven.

These projects are initiated and driven by our small, agile New Energies team in close collaboration with partners and experienced terminal teams. This is where innovation, sustainability, and international collaboration come together - and we are looking for a Technical Project Manager to turn ambition into reality.
