Shannon Foynes Port Company (SFPC) is currently recruiting for the position of Business Development Executive.
Shannon Foynes is Ireland’s second largest port operation, currently handling in excess of 11 million tonnes per annum.
The Shannon Estuary is Ireland’s main deep-water facility with a channel depth of in excess of 32 meters and a handling capacity for large vessels up to 200,000 deadweight tonnes (dwt).
Supporting large-scale capital-intensive industry, it is the largest dry bulk port in Ireland. SFPC annually facilitates trade valued at €8.5bn supporting circa 3,700 jobs.
The company’s customer base extends across many sectors including the industrial, energy, agricultural, recyclable and renewable sectors to name some. Consequently, it facilitates a diverse trade mix in the dry bulk, liquid bulk and break-bulk categories.
Importantly, SFPC not only facilitates the movement of trade within its port estate and estuary but is developing as a large-scale distribution and industrial hub.
The company plans to develop and expand its existing customer base by providing new and/or improved customer offerings and services. To this end, it is necessary to build stronger relationships with the customer base and work with them to develop mutually beneficial solutions/services and offerings.
Reporting directly to the Head of Business Development, the Business Development Executive is a new role tasked with developing and managing the existing and future customer base for all ports under the remit of the company.
The role requires an individual with the desire and ability to network nationally and internationally, and in doing so identify potential opportunities for the Shannon Estuary which they will develop in conjunction with the Business Manager and team.
This is a role which requires well-developed business development and customer relationship management skills. Sector-specific experience is not essential.
