By deploying a complete range of customer-facing skills you will both explain and sell our multimodal transport solutions to a wide range of clients. In doing so you will make a significant contribution to the sustainable growth and profitability of our organisation.
An international and multimodal opportunity
Samskip is an international company that provides the latest and most sustainable logistics solutions worldwide. Right now, we are rapidly evolving exciting new multimodal transport models in response to the challenges and opportunities of Brexit, the Covid-19 pandemic and the ongoing need to find more sustainable transport solutions. In particular, we are building stronger links with the UK and offering our customers digital portals that keep them informed at all times. You'll be at the heart of all this, working within a dynamic and expert team based at our vibrant Polish headquarters in the important hub city of Gda?sk.
Developing sales and relationships
Your core task in this high-profile role is to grow our business by introducing existing and potential customers to our innovative multimodal products.

Beyond Poland
Above all, this is an opportunity for you to have an international impact on our operations and share in the success of one of Europe's largest transport companies. We transport goods across the globe on land, at sea and by rail. It is important to Samskip as a company that we do this via the most sustainable and environmentally friendly methods available. This benefits everybody because we deliver many of the products you see in your supermarket.
