Robert P. Frei, Group SVP Air Freight |

The freight forwarding industry is expanding as businesses prioritise international trade and extend their operations across borders.

At DP World, we understand the need for reliable and efficient freight forwarders capable of managing the complexities of global logistics on land, sea and in the air. We provide our freight forwarders with the training, development and supportive working environment needed to meet this growing demand, enabling them to advance their careers and exceed customer expectations.

Navigating Freight Forwarding with a Start-up Mindset

Being new to the freight forwarding industry allows us to focus on building the best solutions for our customers now, rather than fixing legacy systems. Our freight forwarding division operates like a startup, but one that benefits from stability, networks and financial backing - all advantages of being part of a large, well-established company. Decades of experience across the logistics sector means we have the networks on which to build solutions for our customers, while leveraging the latest technology to keep innovation at the forefront of everything we do.

With our unique operating model , DP World is challenging the traditional norms of the freight forwarding industry. By joining our team you’ll have the freedom to be creative while benefiting from the resources and security of a leading organisation.

Fostering Support and Growth in Freight Forwarding

At DP World, we foster a culture of respect, support, and empowerment, blending a startup mindset with the advantages of large corporation mentorship. We provide training and development programmes for our employees through The Hub, our global centre of excellence for learning, leadership and talent management.

Our Technology Academy offers comprehensive learning opportunities in coding, analysis, and design, empowering our team members as technology pioneers. We want to ensure our people acquire the skills needed for business transformation so they can advance their careers and reach their full potential.

Working at DP World means joining a certified 'Great Place to Work' organisation, where being a new player allows for an exciting and fulfilling work environment.

Forwarding the Future: Shaping Tomorrow's Freight Industry

At DP World, we are constantly evolving to meet the changing needs of our customers. As part of our company transformation, we are creating a networked approach to intercontinental shipping, and opening over 150 freight forwarding offices throughout the world as part of our growing logistics network.

We provide customers with industry-leading transparency, enabling them to monitor emissions and drive their sustainability objectives. Wherever their cargo journey goes, we're committed to ensuring it's done sustainably. Our pledge to achieve net zero carbon by 2050 underscores our dedication. As members of the Clean Cargo Working Group, focused on enhancing container shipping's environmental footprint, and with biofuel certification to offset current CO2 emissions, we're actively reducing our impact. Joining us means shaping the future of freight forwarding towards sustainability, making a tangible contribution to a greener tomorrow.

We want our employees to have the opportunity to contribute to shaping the future of the logistics industry, to make a real impact and contribute to a future where global trade thrives in harmony with the environment and empowers local communities.
