Transportation Administrative Clerk

Express Employment Professionals is currently recruiting for a Transportation Administrative Clerk. Our client is located in Surrey and transports regular cargo, high value commodities, and hazardous goods to the US and Mexico. They carry specialized certifications to ensure the safety and proper handling of cargo when it crosses the border.

THE TASKS

Responsible for US south/northbound transportation documentation and data entry:

• Receive and check documents
• Process bills of lading
• Create trips
• Request documents and certificates for special commodities
• Take driver calls and questions
• Update shipment status throughout the day
• Adhere to compliance at all times
• Input data into CLI and AS400 transportation software
• Have some transportation or customs experience; it would be nice...
• But more importantly, you have a great attitude!
• Are a part-time logistics student and looking for your full-time co-op
• Flexible and able to adjust mid-stream
• Are exact, accurate, and precise
• Work well on your own and with your team

THE CULTURE & YOU

The team (30 internal staff and 50 drivers) is fun and the atmosphere is casual, yet professional. That said, the transportation industry comes with serious responsibilities and safety is at the top of the ranking. There are 3 teams (CSR, northbound, and southbound) and you will be part of a close-knit team of 4-6 people.

Communication is crucial, especially when it comes to dealing with drivers and co-workers in other parts of Canada and - at times - clients in the US and Mexico. You are passionate, articulate, and a thinker. You understand processes and quickly get why freight moves the way it does. Much like an inquisitive 2-year-old, you’re a WHY kind of person. You don’t blindly accept that it ‘has always been done this way.’ You troubleshoot and want to improve procedures; you are ready to take action, offer ideas, and possible solutions.

COMPENSATION

16.00-19.00 per hour

Our client wants you to grow and this is just a starting point. There is much room for development and career advancement. YOU could be the next team leader and work into an operations role. This is a permanent role. Are you ready for the challenge?
