Project Manager Radar Expansion

The port of Antwerp is the second largest port in Europe. With 1,000 or so companies, it provides direct and indirect
employment to 140,000 people and generates 20 billion euros in added value annually. The port authority
Antwerp, as a public limited company under public law, is responsible for the operational management of the port. With its
1,500 employees, it is at the service of 'our' port day and night, 365 days a year. In addition, in the
role of community builder, it takes on many challenges in the interest of the wider port community.
To carry out its mission, the port authority increasingly calls on the possibilities of
digitalisation and also wants to actively embrace innovation. The Digital & Innovation (DI) department is the
final responsibility for this. With about 100 employees, it is responsible for managing the infrastructure and the
core applications and also develops applications that support the operational functioning of its own organisation and
port community. In addition, they research and implement a lot of innovative capabilities
such as drones, sensors, smart cameras and autonomous ships. For more information, please refer to
