The Why
We make things. Real, physical products that have to move in and out of our plant on time, every time. That’s where you come in.
This role sits at the heart of shipping and logistics. You’ll keep materials flowing, customers informed, and paperwork accurate—so production, finance, and customers aren’t left guessing (or chasing).
The Role
As Logistics Coordinator, you’ll support inbound and outbound shipments across domestic and export lanes. You’ll work closely with Customer Service, Purchasing, Materials Control, and carriers to make sure everything ships correctly, bills properly, and arrives when it should.
Some days are predictable. Others involve last‑minute changes, urgent shipments, and a bit of problem‑solving. If you like being the calm person in the middle of controlled chaos, you’ll fit right in.
