Function
With an ambitious digital and infrastructural transformation, DP World aims to strengthen its position as an innovative and sustainable logistics player. To realize these strategic ambitions, it is crucial to organize the IT infrastructure to be future-proof and to increase its maturity.
The IT System Engineer is responsible for ensuring a stable, secure and scalable IT infrastructure within DP World – an environment where technological continuity directly affects operational and financial performance. The IT System Engineer designs, implements and maintains critical systems essential to the daily operation of the terminal, supporting 24/7 operations. The role is crucial in the continued digitization of the business, with automation, efficiency and standardization (such as ITIL and ISO) at its core. The IT System Engineer therefore takes active ownership of infrastructure components and makes structural contributions to the optimization of processes and systems. With a clear focus on reliability and proactivity, he or she automates repetitive tasks and thus increases efficiency within the team. Combining technical expertise with strong communication skills, this person builds bridges between IT, external vendors and various business stakeholders.

System Engineer @ DP World
DP World Antwerp – located in the Waaslandhaven at the Deurganckdok & 750 colleagues – is a leading container terminal and an important hub within the global logistics chain. The company has an impact on developing economies and creating growing prosperity.
As part of the international DP World group – headquartered in Dubai and employing more than 100,000 people worldwide – DP World Antwerp plays a crucial role in Belgium in the smooth flow of goods between shipping lines and transport by road, rail and inland waterway. At the Antwerp Gateway terminal, trucks, trains, barges and the largest ocean-going vessels in the world converge. The terminal has 15 powerful gantry cranes (QCs) that can handle even the very largest container ships. DP World Antwerp is also the only terminal in the Port of Antwerp to use fully automated stacking cranes (ASCs), providing increased efficiency and safety in the yard.
DP World is investing heavily in the future. By the end of 2025, capacity will be boosted to 3.7 million TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit" – the dimensions of a standard 20-foot-long container) as part of a 200 million euro investment program. This growth is being achieved through extensive automation, new cranes, a second rail crane, 17 additional ASC modules and the modernization of the terminal infrastructure. In addition, DP World Antwerp is actively greening its fleet: old straddle carriers are being replaced by hybrid models, contributing to their leading position in terms of sustainability within the port of Antwerp.
