APM Terminals

At APM Terminals, a global leader in port and terminal operations, we enable global trade and drive sustainable growth. What drives us forward is a mindset of always improving — observing how work happens, identifying what creates value, and removing what gets in the way. We constantly look for smarter, simpler, and safer ways of operating. If you thrive in environments where people value learning and are committed to continuously improve daily operations, join us and be apart of our journey.

What We Can Offer:

At APMT Terminals, we foster a dynamic learning and training culture that empowers our employees to excel. Our commitment to improvement is driven by Lean principles, ensuring that every team member has the opportunity to develop their skills and advance their careers. Experience a diverse, multinational workplace where your operational insights directly influence how we work.

As a Senior Quality Engineer, you will be responsible for strategizing, coordinating, and governing all testing activities across applications and automation systems within the terminal operations environment. This role is not hands‑on testing, but rather focuses on ensuring the right environments, datasets, test plans, test cases, and resources are available and that testing cycles run smoothly and effectively.

You will work closely with internal teams, vendors, and operational stakeholders to ensure issues are logged correctly, prioritised appropriately, and resolved in line with operational needs. You will also drive test governance, environment coordination, version management, and adherence to Global CAB processes.

This position requires someone who has previously coordinated testing and quality assurance activities in a complex operational or industrial automation environment.

**This role is onsite 5 days a week based in one of our terminal.Responsibilities

Test Strategy & Coordination (Non‑hands‑on)

• Ensure testing standardisation across applications and automation solutions (standalone, integrated, end‑to‑end, volume, performance).

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Automation/Interface, IT, Operations, and vendor teams to ensure alignment on testing readiness.
• Ensure that outputs from testing cycles meet operational expectations before production deployment.
• Continuous improvement mindset: we are looking for someone who brings a strong mindset of continuous improvement – someone who is naturally curious, committed to solving problems at the root, and driven to make things better every day

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum five years of experience strategizing and coordinating testing activities in an industrial automation or similarly complex operational environment.
• Proven experience in test management, test coordination, and TMap (required).
