… where you have control

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. 

… where the focus is on your health and well-being

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. Your mental health is also extremely important to us. You can also take part in workshops to increase your resilience. Are you having difficulties? If so, we're there for you. 

… where you'll be learning all the time

At the Antwerp-Bruges Port Authority, you'll be learning the whole time and can be certain to receive continuous feedback. Choose from a wide range of training courses, or let us help you put together a personal development plan. We're always there for you to provide tips. Because we're all learning new things every day and in different ways. In this respect, getting and giving good feedback is very important to us. 

… where working is a pleasure

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?
