Overland Logistics and Supply Chain Manager

Venor is proud to partner with Greenergy Fuels Canada Inc. in their search for an Overland Logistics and Supply Chain Manager to join their team in Saint John, NB.

Greenergy’s commitment to innovation and a drive to do things differently have seen the company grow from a bedroom start-up to a world leader in waste-based renewables and the UK’s leading fuel supplier. They approach the status quo of an established industry with fresh eyes, empowering their people to develop and deliver change through innovation.

At Greenergy, values of Respect, Ownership, Care and Integrity underpin every interaction with colleagues, customers, suppliers, and communities. These core values have driven the business’s growth and helped them develop strong customer relationships.

As a leader in Operations & Logistics, the successful candidate will be instrumental in setting the strategy for the company’s overland network and will be accountable for end-to-end outcomes across a North American footprint.

What you’ll be doing

• Oversee day-to-day rail and truck operations, driving safety, compliance, and on-time performance.
• Set terminal inventory targets and align with S&OP to prevent stockouts and manage exceptions.
• Determine railcar fleet size and mix, while minimizing out-of-service time and maximizing utilization.
• Lead contract and rate negotiations with railways, lessors, and trucking partners.
• Coach and develop a team of supply chain planners, setting goals and performance standards.
• Sponsor digital visibility and automation to improve on-time performance and reduce demurrage/detention.
• Prepare contingencies and lead incident responses for weather, labor actions, and supply disruptions.

What we are looking for

• 8-10+ years of experience in oil & gas or heavy-industrial logistics with direct rail and trucking responsibility.
• Degree-level education or equivalent experience.
• A self-starter with a proactive mindset and strong problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment with strong attention to detail.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and Power Point.
• Ability to multi-task and prioritize work with minimum direction.
• Proven ability to build internal and external networks.
• Ability to work unsupervised in an individual or team setting.
• A drive to learn more about the business and industry.
• Deep knowledge of tariffs, rate structures, and demurrage.
• A track record of managing multi-terminal inventories and daily liftings.
• Leadership experience managing a planning/scheduling team.

At Venor and Greenergy Fuels Canada Inc., we embrace a culture of belonging in the workplace.
