<div class="show-more-less-html__markup show-more-less-html__markup--clamp-after-5 relative overflow-hidden"> <p><strong>The Opportunity</strong></p><p>We're recruiting on behalf of a major global freight forwarder whose dedicated Project Logistics division has undergone exceptional growth — expanding from 400 to 1,800 people worldwide in just two years through a series of significant acquisitions. Backed by over €1bn in investment, this is a division with serious momentum and genuine in-house capability to match.</p><p><br/></p><p>This is a rare chance to join a team that can actually execute anything you sell.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>The Role</strong></p><p>This is primarily a business development position — roughly 60% hunting, 40% farming — with a focus on winning large, high-value project cargo customers. EPCs are the sweet spot, alongside machinery, solar, power generation, and oil &amp; gas accounts.</p><p><br/></p><p>The scale of work here is substantial: typical projects ranging from €1m to €10m in revenue. The preference is not to focus on smaller transactional freight — the division can handle complex, high-revenue global projects.</p><p><br/></p><p>You'll work export oceanfreight out of Germany and cross-trade, across FCL/LCL, OOG, and heavy lift cargo.</p><p><br/></p><p>Location is flexible — Hamburg and Bremen are ideal, but candidates based further south will also be considered. A Frankfurt-based BDM is already in place, though territories aren't split regionally; accounts are managed customer by customer.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>The Division — A Genuine Point of Difference</strong></p><p>What sets this team apart is the depth of in-house capability:</p><ul><li><strong>Own global chartering desk</strong> (7–8 specialists) — no agent dependency for charter moves</li><li><strong>In-house legal and transport engineering</strong> resources</li><li><strong>Own assets for on-site heavy lifting</strong> — a direct result of recent group acquisitions</li><li><strong>Flat hierarchy and fast decision-making</strong> — the German operation spans Hamburg, Frankfurt, and a recently opened Bremen office</li></ul><p><br/></p><p>Four core verticals are already established: infrastructure, marine logistics, oil &amp; gas, and machinery/industrial equipment.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Who They're Looking For</strong></p><p>A commercially driven BDM with solid project freight experience and a genuine understanding of the German market. You don't need to walk in with a full book of business — but you do need a network, a clear methodology, and the ambition to target large, complex accounts.</p><p><br/></p><p>It's offering a fixed salary up to €100k depending on your experience and existing customer relationships. Company car included. The incentive scheme allows a high performing salesperson to double their salary.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Interested?</strong></p><p>All applications handled in strict confidence.</p><p>Seth Bland | Freight Appointments seth@freightappointments.com | +49 211 418 72000</p> </div>
