Development Programme Mainfreight

The ideal combination of 'doing' and 'learning'

By joining our three-year Mainfreight Development Programme, you will receive the ideal combination of ‘doing’ and ‘learning’. Right from the start, you will get to work in an operational role whilst benefiting from a clearly defined structure of training and coaching. You will have the opportunity to work in different roles within our business units, Air & Ocean, Warehousing and Transport. As we are a global business, we offer you the opportunity to fill roles in our branches across Europe.

Our Mainfreight Development Programme focusses on your individual development and career path. It is a three-year programme where you will learn more about your strengths and your interests within Mainfreight; whether in a leadership role, sales, operations, business development, IT, or finance, it’s up to you! 

To further your development, you will participate in multiple personal leadership courses, presenting courses and networking sessions with our European trainees. You can put training into practice by taking on improvement projects within your role. This is a great way to see just how big your impact on our business can be! 
Looking after our people is a key part of our culture at Mainfreight and you will receive coaching from your manager or team leader. We also plan coaching sessions for you and the programme coordinator to reflect on your development, where you want your career to go, and how we can help get you there.
