Join Our Port Operations Team in Immingham

At Stena Line, our Port Operations Team plays a crucial role in supporting safe, efficient and reliable freight operations. We are looking for motivated and safety-focused individuals to join our team as Port Service Operatives in Immingham. If you're looking for the opportunity to build a career while being part of a life less ordinary, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a hands-on operational role where you'll contribute to the safe loading, unloading and movement of freight while helping to deliver the high operational standards that Stena Line is known for. Previous port operations experience is preferred; however, we also welcome applications from candidates with experience operating HGVs, Tugmasters, agricultural machinery, plant equipment or other large vehicles who are looking to develop their career within a port environment.

Some of your key responsibilities

• Safely operate Tugmasters and other port equipment in line with Stena Line procedures.
• Assist with vessel mooring, loading and unloading operations.
• Marshal freight and passenger vehicles during embarkation and disembarkation activities.
• Carry out trailer movements, shunting and other terminal operational activities.
• Support passenger and caravan operations through the terminal.
• Maintain high standards of housekeeping, safety and operational efficiency across the terminal.
• Participate in safety briefings, emergency response exercises and continuous improvement activities.

What you will experience

As part of our Port Operations Team, you'll play an important role in ensuring the safe and efficient movement of freight, passengers and vessels through the port. No two days are the same, and you'll work alongside experienced colleagues in a supportive, team-focused environment where safety and collaboration come first.

At Stena Line, we believe that challenges help us grow. You'll receive ongoing support, training and development opportunities while working within a culture that values teamwork, respect and continuous improvement. Together, we work hard, support one another and take pride in delivering an operation that our customers can rely on.

Benefits

As part of the Stena Line family, you'll benefit from:

• Concessionary travel on Irish Sea and North Sea routes.
• 75% discount on UK rail travel.
• Company pension and life assurance scheme.
• Discounts on gym memberships, digital fitness subscriptions and equipment.
• Wellbeing cash plan, including dental, eyesight testing and health screening.
• Enhanced maternity and paternity pay.
• Cycle to Work scheme.
• Employee Assistance Programme.
• Continuous training, coaching and development opportunities.
• Career progression within a leading international organisation.
• Opportunities for paid overtime, subject to operational requirements.

Who you are

At Stena Line your personality matters as much as how good you are at what you do. Regardless of your role, our behaviours welcoming, caring and reliable guide you in your everyday work and the challenges you face.

You are a safety-conscious team player who enjoys practical, hands-on work and takes pride in doing a job well. You can adapt to changing operational demands, remain calm under pressure and communicate effectively with colleagues and customers alike. Most importantly, you have a positive attitude, a willingness to learn and a commitment to contributing to a safe and successful operation.

Qualifications

• Full UK Driving Licence.
• Experience operating large vehicles or machinery such as Tugmasters, HGVs, agricultural machinery, plant equipment or similar.
• Previous port, terminal or RoRo experience is preferred.
• Strong awareness of health and safety requirements.
