Kickstart your career with hands-on experience in an operational role and exciting projects, all while benefiting from structured training and coaching. During our three-year traineeship program, you'll rotate through two or three diverse roles, each with unique responsibilities and challenges. Whether you're driving a forklift, managing shipments, making sales calls, visiting customers, or leading a team, you'll gain comprehensive experience in supply chain management!

You'll have the opportunity to follow an international career path across Europe or stay local within your home country. We understand your ambitions and interests might evolve, so you won't have to decide right away. You'll have the freedom to create your own path as you grow and develop!
 

What We Offer

Besides on-the-job learning, you'll engage in various opportunities, including improvement projects, annual leadership courses, and team-building activities. Plus, you'll participate in and sometimes organize quarterly trainee sessions designed to be inspirational, inclusive, and visionary. Networking is key, and you'll connect with branch managers and the European leadership team during these sessions. Ongoing support and coaching from our trainee program coordinator will help you identify your strengths, areas for improvement, and strategies for overcoming career challenges at Mainfreight.
We're committed to promoting from within, meaning we'll invest in your career progression even after the three-year program. Our former trainees have taken on roles such as Operations Manager, Air & Ocean Branch Manager, and positions in finance, IT, and international locations. At Mainfreight, the world is truly your oyster!
