What is a stevedore and how do you become one?

At Stuwarooij, we like to keep it simple: we do what we do best. And that starts with
professionals. The stevedore is one of them. Someone who knows how to get things done. But what does
a stevedore exactly, and more importantly, how do you become one?

The stevedore: the heart of loading and unloading

As a stevedore, you handle the real work. You are the one who takes care of the loading and unloading of
containers, trucks and trailers. It's all about pace, precision and overview. No
rumble, but tight work. You know what should go in, how it should look, and make sure everything is neatly
in place. Without damage, without delay.

At Stuwarooij, you do this:

• Load and unload goods like a pro
• Leaving containers and workplaces swept clean
• Checking numbers and identifying discrepancies

It is physical work. You stand firmly. You work together.

How do you become a stevedore?

You don't have to be a paper tiger. What you need are good shoes, commitment and the will to
learn. We take care of the rest. At Stuwarooij, you will learn the trade from the inside out. You get
guidance, training and work directly with you. You will grow in your work, and perhaps to
foreman.

You will learn, among other things:

• Smart and safe working in logistics
• Quick and tidy container loading and unloading
• Operating machines without hassle
• Working together as a real team

Working at Stuwarooij: tackle and move on

At Stuwarooij, you don't get office talk, but a place where you matter. Where you see work,
tackle and finish. You will work with colleagues who think like you: doers, go-getters,
professionals. And you are never alone, your team is behind you.
