We are committed to decarbonising our business by 2040. To do this, electrification of our container handling fleet is pivotal. Do you have the passion, curiosity, and technical expertise to become a pivotal part of our journey?
Our target is to ensure terminals will keep high productivity, operational readiness, and safety levels while transitioning from diesel equipment to direct and battery electric equipment. This requires development of maintenance requirements, plans, risk analysis, mitigation, and backup scenarios for battery electric equipment and charging infrastructure.
The key role of this position is to provide input and assistance to the deployment of electrification solutions for new or existing port equipment by building and updating standards for the maintenance community. You'll have a crucial role in our fleet electrification across various mobile container handling equipment types and terminals. This role will support the operational readiness of local maintenance teams by connecting inputs from OEMs, learnings from pilots, and from other terminal team insights.
The purpose of this role is to drive the electrification of Container Handling Equipment (CHE) in alignment with the business decarbonization strategy and Equipment Electrification policy.
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTABILITIES: Overall responsibilities are the following: Act as main contact point and collaborate with the global Decarbonisation office to enable our decarbonisation strategy. Participate in discovering and developing the requirements for energy optimized terminal equipment solutions from the electrical infrastructure perspective. Conduct technical feasibility evaluations and provide infrastructure recommendations to enable port equipment electrification and energy optimisation initiatives. Provide input on the technical specifications by being the representative for the maintenance community, ensuring that the functional requirements are well understood and covered. Participate in a tender team, analysing and evaluating consultant's and contractor's proposals. Collaborate with peers in the technical function to ensure the design, engineering, and delivery of an integrated asset to the internal customer. Collaborate with OEMs to ensure that documentation, training, and safety instructions for electric equipment are per the requirements of the maintenance community. Collaborate with other technical functions to ensure pipeline management for central planning of equipment replacement and purchases. Act as subject matter expert for energy optimization initiatives for the terminals as needed. Work on asset acquisition, operations readiness, replacement, obsolescence, disposal, and handling aspects during asset life cycle. Build practices and standards that aim for the lowest total cost of ownership of electric assets. Monitor and analyse the newly inducted asset performance; e.g. battery charging time, availability, reliability, and other dependability aspects. Create and maintain a feedback loop between the maintenance community and the decarbonization team and other stakeholders e.g. consultants, contractors. Build collaborative relationships with internal and external stakeholders. REPORTING AND LOCATION: The reporting line will be to the Global Life Cycle Manager, The Hague, Netherlands.
Geographical Location: Global scope, Barcelona or The Hague based; regular travels are expected (20-25% of time).
CRITICAL QUALIFICATIONS/SKILLS/EXPERIENCE Experience: 5+ years of relevant experience in Heavy equipment, in Ports Container Handling Equipment (CHE). International experience, with a background of working with leading OEMs or reputed engineering environments. Qualifications/Skills: Knowledge of solid-state batteries, electrification technologies used in the heavy equipment or other industries (automotive, infrastructure, etc). Excellent analytical, collaboration, and communication skills with empathy. Have a good understanding of Project Management, its principles, and practices. High quality awareness and ability to work with constant care. Sensitive to cultural diversity and experience in a multicultural environment, in regard to employees, local authorities, and other stakeholders. Self-motivating, result-oriented.
