Container terminal operator with growing electrical infrastructure modernization
PSA Belgium operates four container terminals across the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, handling over 10.6 million TEUs annually. The tech stack is heavily skewed toward industrial automation (SCADA, PLC, Siemens, ABB, OPC UA, MQTT) rather than software—a profile consistent with physical port operations. Active hiring is concentrated in engineering roles (mostly senior and mid-level), with projects clustered around high-voltage upgrades, equipment retrofit, and terminal electrification, signaling a capital-intensive modernization cycle to transition equipment away from diesel dependency.

PSA Belgium is a major container terminal operator within the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, part of the broader PSA port group operating across the EuroMed & Americas region. The company manages three dedicated container terminals (Noordzee Terminal, Europa Terminal, MPET), plus breakbulk and intermodal facilities. With over 10,000 employees across the global organization and significant throughput in Antwerp, PSA Belgium serves as a hub for deep-sea container handling, breakbulk cargo, and project cargo operations. Current operational priorities center on electrical infrastructure resilience, terminal equipment electrification, and integration of automated systems to improve throughput and sustainability.
PSA Belgium relies on industrial control systems: Siemens PLCs, SCADA platforms (Ignition, WinCC), ABB power systems, and industrial protocols (MQTT, OPC UA, Modbus, PROFINET). Microsoft Office and Power BI support operational reporting.
