Job summary

Crane Worldwide Logistics LLC is seeking an Outbound Specialist, Ground to manage the origin half of the ground shipment file from booking acceptance to validated departure. You will work across e2open TMF and Descartes Aljex, building shipment files, applying costs, generating BOLs, and coordinating pickups with capacity planners.

The role requires meticulous data parity across systems and proactive escalation of scheduling and security exceptions, ensuring a clean handoff to the inbound team.

Qualifications

• High School diploma or equivalent; associate’s or bachelor’s degree in logistics, supply chain, or a related field preferred.
• 1–3 years of experience in transportation operations, delivery coordination, dispatch, or a related logistics role.
• Hands‑on experience with transportation management systems; direct experience with e2open TMF and/or Descartes Aljex strongly preferred.
• Working knowledge of US domestic ground freight modes (FTL, LTL, intermodal) and standard shipment lifecycle milestones.
• Demonstrated accuracy with document audit work — validating a signed POD against system records and resolving discrepancies before billing.
• Comfort with cost and revenue entry and the discipline to reconcile financials across two systems.

Responsibilities

• Accept the TMF booking created by the Operational Account Manager and verify shipment data, asset detail, and references are complete before building the file.
• Create the job in TMF, adding Crane Solutions as the carrier, and trigger the EDI booking to Descartes Aljex.
• Add cost and revenue in TMF and generate the bill of lading (BOL).
• Accept the EDI booking in Aljex, upload the TMF BOL into Aljex, and add revenue to Aljex so both systems carry matching financials.
• Assign the shipment to the Capacity Planning team and monitor the capacity planner queue until a carrier is confirmed, escalating unassigned loads that risk the pickup window.
