This is a contingent position, pending contract award. The Transportation Specialist handles day-to-day execution of shipping requests — processing SRF forms, coordinating with carriers and freight forwarders, managing HAZMAT documentation, and maintaining shipment visibility in the OWMS.

• Coordinate with freight forwarders, carriers, and customs brokers for domestic and international shipments including OCONUS nodes
• Prepare shipping documentation including bills of lading, commercial invoices, packing lists, and HAZMAT declarations
• Schedule pickups, track shipments in transit, and update OWMS status to provide requestors real-time visibility
• Coordinate delivery confirmation and resolve exceptions with carriers, escalating at-risk deliveries proactively to the Transportation Manager

HAZMAT and Compliance

• Prepare HAZMAT shipping documentation in compliance with IATA, IMDG, and applicable DOT regulations
• Coordinate HAZMAT storage and handling at Holloman AFB in accordance with base policies and federal regulations
• Flag any shipments involving potentially export-controlled items — including electronic warfare, Directed Energy, or GPS/PNT equipment — to the Transportation Manager before processing
• Maintain accurate and complete shipping records in the OWMS audit trail supporting 98% on-time delivery AQL tracking

Team Support

• Provide daily shipment status updates to the Transportation Manager
• Support surge shipping requirements during compressed-timeline test events — response time as short as 48-72 hours for emergent requirements
• Assist with physical receiving, inspection, and property accountability documentation on-site

• Working knowledge of HAZMAT shipping regulations (IATA, IMDG, DOT)

Key Skills

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail on shipping documentation
• Ability to manage multiple open shipments simultaneously without losing track of status
• Proactive communication with the Transportation Manager on exceptions and at-risk deliveries
• Comfort with regulatory documentation — HAZMAT placarding, SDS sheets, customs declarations
• Ability to operate with urgency when test schedules drive compressed shipping timelines

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting DoD or Air Force logistics operations
• IATA Dangerous Goods certification
• Familiarity with OWMS or similar shipment tracking and workflow platforms
• Basic awareness of ITAR/EAR export control concepts
