About the Company

APM Terminals Crane & Engineering Services (CES) is APM Terminals' Shanghai-based crane and terminal-equipment lifecycle business, located at the heart of the world's principal crane manufacturing base. CES serves the APM Terminals network and selected external clients across equipment quality and technical assurance, project management and commissioning, structural engineering and inspection, maintenance and repair, upgrades and life extension, and equipment decarbonization. As Managing Director, you will set the CES strategy, own the operating result and the independent technical position CES exists to provide, and turn what CES sees across the project and equipment lifecycle into better specifications, supplier performance and investment decisions.

Responsibilities

  • ● As Managing Director, you will be accountable for the CES operating result - P&L, people, safety, quality, delivery and cost - across the full equipment lifecycle.
  • ● Strategy, performance and growth
  • ● Set and execute the CES strategy in alignment with APM Terminals and Asset Design & Engineering, positioning CES as a competitive, scalable technical-services business for the terminal network and selected external clients.
  • ● Own the CES operating result within the approved mandate and delegation of authority - P&L, cash, forecast, cost base and resource allocation across project delivery, maintenance and repair, structural services and overhead.
  • ● Shape the service portfolio and growth agenda - quality assurance and commissioning, inspections, structural engineering, maintenance and repair, upgrades and life extension, and equipment relocations - without diluting independence or technical standards.
  • ● Clients and stakeholders
  • ● Act as the senior CES counterpart to terminal leadership, Project Execution, Investments, Procurement, OEMs and external clients, building trusted relationships and aligning technical decisions with business outcomes.
  • ● Translate client needs into clear scopes, commitments and delivery plans, and intervene personally on critical projects, claims and disputes where executive leadership is required.
  • ● Represent CES in governance forums and major technical and investment decisions, communicating risk, options, cost and trade-offs clearly.
  • ● Technical authority and lifecycle value
  • ● Be accountable for CES's technical-assurance system across the equipment lifecycle - design review, quality assurance and manufacturing supervision, commissioning, acceptance and handover to operations, warranty, and structural integrity across APM Terminals' existing fleet.
  • ● Equipment scope: ship-to-shore (STS) cranes; yard cranes including RTG, RMG and automated stacking cranes; mobile harbour cranes; horizontal transport including straddle and shuttle carriers, terminal tractors and AGVs; and lift trucks including reach stackers and empty-container handlers - in manned, remote-controlled and automated configurations.
  • ● Convert manufacturing, commissioning, warranty and fleet findings into improved specifications, inspection practice and supplier requirements, and bring lifecycle and total-cost-of-ownership evidence into design and investment decisions within Asset Design & Engineering and Asset Management.
  • ● Own structural-integrity authority across the fleet: fracture-critical findings, remaining-life assessment and repair quality.
  • ● Adapt CES support and service scope for technology transition - electrification, decarbonisation, automation and new equipment technologies entering the fleet - in coordination with Operational Technology and Asset Management.
  • ● OEM and supplier ecosystem
  • ● Hold OEMs and suppliers to their contractual specification compliance, quality, delivery and HSSE obligations, escalating systemic failure in coordination with Project Execution and Procurement, and use CES's factory presence to mitigate delivery variability before it reaches the terminal.
  • ● Develop the supplier landscape - qualification of new sources, dual sourcing and technical development of emerging manufacturers - to widen APM Terminals' options on cost, capacity and technology while protecting technical standards.
  • ● People, organisation and operating excellence
  • ● Lead and develop the CES management team across Quality Assurance, Project Management & Commissioning, M&R Services, Finance and People.
