Your career path at Clarksons

Begin with us
Clarksons is a leading integrated shipping services provider and it offers more than just a shipbroking career; but also financial research, port services together with other support functions needed by a global publicly traded company.

At Clarksons we believe in continuous development. A career is a set of skills and knowledge complemented by the understanding of the craft.

As a new joiner, you will benefit from on-the-job mentoring provided by experts in the field, regular workshops, seminars, ship and terminal visits. Topics range from different commercial, to financial, regulatory, technical, legal and operational, with the overarching aim to give you a deep understanding of the company and its role in global trade. 

After you have successfully completed a probationary period, you can also study for professional qualifications (become a member of the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers).

Get to know shipping around the world
Clarksons offers you the opportunity to experience different cultures. Join us and you can choose to work at one of our offices overseas. International placements can last from a few weeks to a number of years.

“Working for a major integrated shipping services provider in such a global and diverse industry as shipping provides a very powerful incentive to learn throughout your chosen career pathway” .

 

Dr Malcolm Willingale, Clarksons Learning & Development

Investing in people

Blended learning provides a range of ways and means to learn at Clarksons.

All new joiners benefit from an induction programme which covers the specific role of the individual and how this fits in to the wider group. Compliance and IT skills training are complementary learning opportunities in key areas of differentiation. In the case of the former, compliance training encompasses anti-bribery, sanctions, know your customer, anti-competition and other modules. In the case of the latter,  Clarksons’ unparalleled portfolio of cloud-based software tools such as SeaNet and Gateway encompass through-transaction decision-making support as well as cyber security training.

The company’s learning and development workshops, seminars and webinars delivered by industry experts are offered on an open-invite basis, either live or made available via our in-house IQ comms channel. There are no limits to the amount people with a strong professional curiosity can learn.

 

I joined Clarksons mid-way through

my career. I'd never worked in

shipbroking before but found the

onboarding process and on-the-job

training a great way to get up to

speed.

Finding the right team

Where appropriate, our people are given the opportunity to work in different offices with colleagues and clients from different cultural backgrounds. Such international placements can last from a few weeks to a numbers of years.

Our graduate programme also gives candidates the opportunity to rotate through different areas of broking so that you have a well-rounded experience and can find the right team for you in an area of the business that interests you the most.
