Teamleader - Food


Ready for something different? Good, so are we.
This won’t be your typical logistics leadership role, and we’re not your typical forwarder. At MPL, we think beyond the container and always go one step further in everything we do. How? By living the mission, not just executing the job.
With a unique mix of logistics services, real and personal advice, we make things happen. Now, we're looking for an experienced leader to strengthen and guide our Food Team in Antwerp.
