Brazilian port and maritime logistics operator serving energy, agriculture, and trade
Wilson Sons operates port terminals, offshore support, and integrated maritime logistics across Brazil's major trade corridors. The hiring profile—dominated by operations and junior-level roles, with active capex and BI projects—reveals a company modernizing operational reporting and project delivery processes. Tech stack leans heavily on SAP and Power BI, indicating enterprise resource planning as the backbone, but absence of adopting/replacing signals suggests incremental rather than transformational IT evolution.
