Job description

Overview

APM Terminals is part of the A.P. Moller–Maersk Group, operating advanced ports and terminals worldwide.

The Role

As Terminal Planning Manager you will play a central role in shaping day‑to‑day operations and future strategy. You will develop and execute operational planning strategies that improve safety, efficiency, customer experience, and profitability, supporting a significant modernization journey.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead high‑volume terminal planning activities, supporting more than 1.4million annual container lifts and 12+ weekly vessel calls through advanced operational planning.
  • Own and optimize berth planning, yard layout, appointment strategies, capacity planning, and ocean carrier SLA performance.
  • Develop short‑term and long‑term operational strategies that integrate safety, productivity, and technology optimization across terminal operations.
  • Use TOS‑driven insights and data analytics to model, simulate, and optimize operational scenarios, asset utilization, and throughput.
  • Govern standardized processes by maintaining planning documentation, process maps, validations, and operational performance reviews.
  • Strengthen customer relationships by leading operational review meetings focused on service reliability, improvement initiatives, and long‑term partnership value.
  • Coach and develop Assistant Managers, building strong operational leadership capability and a sustainable talent pipeline.
What We Are Looking For
  • Continuous improvement mindset: naturally curious, committed to solving problems at the root, driven to make things better every day.
  • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field; advanced education is an advantage.
  • 5+ years of experience in operational planning and people leadership within complex, asset‑intensive environments; port or terminal experience is a plus.
  • Strong analytical capability with experience using data, KPIs, and systems to drive operational decisions.
  • Clear, collaborative communicator who can align stakeholders, influence decisions, and lead teams through change.
