It has been an adventurous and meaningful journey since I started as a Management Trainee at Cogent. Being assigned to the various business units such as Automotive Logistics, Supply Chain Warehouse, and Project Cargo Logistics allowed me to gain valuable experience through exposure to fundamental operations processes, contract negotiations and progressive improvement of work processes for higher productivity and efficiency.

Besides gaining exposure in the various functions and processes, I am grateful that the Company has given me many opportunities to participate and work on Management level projects, i.e. budgeting and business development. Through these projects, I was able to gain a more holistic understanding into how the Company operates.

Being in Cogent has truly developed me as an individual. I now possess the grit to keep myself going to meet the many challenges ahead. I have also honed my analytical skills that will help me consider all the possible outcomes before making the best decisions. I have also learnt essential communication skills necessary to build good rapport with my colleagues, clients, and vendors.

As a Sales Assistant at Cogent Integrated Supply Chain, I have had the opportunity to work within a dynamic and fast-paced logistics environment, supporting both local and international clients. Being part of a WCA-member company, I’ve gained valuable exposure to global freight forwarding networks and high service standards.
In my role, I actively assist in handling shipping documentation, preparing quotations, coordinating with clients and carriers, and ensuring smooth end-to-end shipment processes. I take pride in delivering responsive, detail-oriented support that contributes to customer satisfaction and the overall efficiency of our sales operations.

After working at Cogent Container Depot for a year, I can confidently say that Cogent provided me with a great platform to grow and build a meaningful career. The company provides a supportive environment, with colleagues and managers who are always willing to guide and share their knowledge. I have learned so much about depot operations, customer service, and the logistics industry as a whole. There is a very strong sense of teamwork and pride in the work we do, and it feels rewarding to contribute to such a well-running operation.

A year has passed, and my journey as an Operations Executive at Cogent Tank Depot has been nothing short of rewarding. Being assigned to various micro-department units—such as the ISO tank washing bay, repair bay, and storage units—has provided me with invaluable hands-on experience. Through on-site exposure, I have gained a deep understanding of fundamental operational processes, repair and maintenance procedures, and the continuous improvement of workflows to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.

Beyond navigating these unfamiliar micro-departments, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities my manager has given me to step out of my comfort zone. I have had the privilege of participating in global ISO tank conferences, customer meetings, and industry projects—experiences that have broadened my perspective on how the ISO tank industry operates beyond the depot.

Starting my career at Cogent right after university was not as easy as I initially expected. I have faced challenging days, and I am certain more will come. As my seniors often say, “The more walls you bang, the more you can.” Working in operations has become increasingly fascinating, with new challenges arising daily. The constant need for critical thinking has sharpened my problem-solving skills in ways that are both invaluable and irreplaceable. These lessons and experiences are ones I will carry forward, shaping my future both within and beyond my professional journey.
