Global maritime logistics operator with fleet and land-based services
Royal Wagenborg operates a diversified maritime logistics business spanning shipping, towage, heavy lifting, and offshore services across 3,000 employees. Their tech stack (AWS, Azure, SQL Server, AFAS Profit) sits beneath an active modernization effort: proactive monitoring and modern IT infrastructure projects, a full Office 365 rollout, and ERP system replacement signal a wholesale shift from legacy systems toward cloud-native operations. The hiring mix—operations and engineering roles dominating, with mid-level and senior positions balanced—reflects both tactical IT remediation and strategic fleet/service expansion.
