Job description

Shipping & Logistics Coordinator

Manitoba

South of Brandon, MB

$60,000-$75,000 | Excellent Benefits + Perks

Monday-Friday Days | Full-Time, Permanent

Good at keeping freight moving when plans change? Looking for a predictable Monday-Friday schedule?

DMC Recruitment is partnering with an established building products manufacturer to recruit a Shipping & Logistics Coordinator for its manufacturing facility south of Brandon.

This is a hands-on shipping, logistics and transportation coordination role where you'll take ownership of outbound freight and work directly with production, sales, carriers and customers.

Some days everything goes according to plan. Other days a late order, job-site delivery or changing customer request means you need to find another solution. We're looking for the person who knows how to make it happen.

What You'll Do

• Plan and coordinate outbound shipments, scheduled loads, job-site deliveries and couriers
• Coordinate OTR, LTL, flat-deck and other freight requirements
• Obtain freight quotes for job-site and non-standard deliveries
• Work with carriers to arrange transportation and delivery schedules
• Liaise with sales and production when orders, priorities or schedules change
• Communicate with customers regarding delivery requirements
• Troubleshoot freight and delivery issues as they arise

Who We're Looking For

• You may currently be a Dispatcher, Shipping Coordinator, Logistics Coordinator, Transportation Coordinator, Freight Coordinator, Traffic Coordinator or Load Planner.
• Experience with OTR, LTL, flat-deck freight, trucking or job-site deliveries would be particularly valuable.
• Experience in manufacturing, building products, steel/metals, agriculture, construction supply, industrial distribution or transportation would also transfer well.
• You don't need building products experience.

What matters most is that you're:

• Highly organized and able to juggle changing priorities
• Resourceful and comfortable solving problems
• A strong communicator with good customer-service skills
• Comfortable working with carriers, customers, sales and production
• Proficient with general computer applications including email, Excel and Word

What's In It for You?

• $60,000-$75,000 , depending on experience
• Company benefits
• Monday-Friday daytime schedule
• Full-time, permanent employment
• An opportunity to take real ownership of the shipping and logistics function

This is a full-time, on-site position at the manufacturing facility.

Candidates must be able to reliably commute to the facility.
