Port operator managing container and automotive logistics across Georgia's major maritime gateways
Georgia Ports Authority operates two major port complexes (Savannah and Brunswick) handling containerized cargo, automotive logistics, and intermodal transfers. The tech stack is heavily enterprise-oriented (SAP, Microsoft 365, Azure Entra ID, OpenShift) with active hiring focused on ops and security roles — reflecting the operational complexity and compliance demands of managing high-volume gateway infrastructure. Current project work centers on automating customer-facing systems and improving container operation efficiency, areas where pain points include equipment availability and overtime reduction.
Georgia Ports Authority is a state government agency operating the Port of Savannah and Port of Brunswick, two of the largest U.S. maritime gateways by throughput and connectivity. Savannah handles 35 ship calls per week, 42 doublestack trains weekly, and 14,000 truck gate moves daily; Brunswick specializes in automotive and RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) logistics. The Authority manages a $4.5 billion capital plan over ten years, with recent infrastructure investment of $3.2 billion. Operations span container transfer facilities, hazardous materials management, tenant coordination, and supply chain logistics serving trucking, rail, and shipping partners. The agency supports nearly 651,000 jobs statewide and generates $43 billion in personal income annually.
Core systems include SAP for enterprise operations, Microsoft 365 and Azure Entra ID for workforce management, OpenShift and VMware for infrastructure, and Cisco for networking. Red Hat Enterprise Linux and AIX support backend operations.
