Job content

If recent world events have taught us anything, it is the critical importance of logistics to every aspect of our life and the port business is where it all happens. From unitised cargoes to renewables and everything in between, we keep the UK moving. Our business is fascinating and constantly developing and we are looking for a small team of graduates to help drive this.


If you are looking for a corporate role, perhaps this is not the position for you. However if you are looking for early responsibility and full immersion in our business then this is a role that you will love.

Although you will be primarily based at the Port of Grangemouth, you will also work at our Ports in Dundee, Rosyth and Leith.

What are we looking for?

We want to build on our success and to do this we must continue to invest in our future business leaders. To do this, we need a diverse range of graduates who are innovative in their thinking, happy to problem solve and take decisions based on sound judgement and smart thinking.

What do I need?

  • A business management related degree with a focus on logistics/supply chain management/business process optimisation.
  • 2.1 classification (anticipated)
  • Full UK driving licence
  • Collaborative and keen to share information, knowledge and skill
