• Determine the acceptability of incoming materials and communicate questionable loads to Operations leadership.
• Maintain accurate transaction records, reports, and supporting documentation.
• Communicate with Operations leadership, Facility Traffic Coordinators, Dispatch, and equipment operators to support daily operations.
• Help maintain the safe and efficient flow of customer traffic throughout the facility.
• Perform general clerical duties including data entry, filing, answering phones, and recordkeeping.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and professional scale house environment.
• Identify and report customer concerns, operational issues, safety hazards, or equipment concerns.
• At Coastal, we win as a team. Our Scale Attendants provide outstanding customer service, maintain accurate records, and help ensure our facilities operate safely, efficiently, and professionally every day.

What You'll Bring

• One (1) or more years of experience in customer service, administrative support, cashiering, transportation, logistics, dispatch, scale operations, or another customer-facing role.
• Strong attention to detail with excellent data entry accuracy.
• Excellent communication and customer service skills.
• Basic computer proficiency, including Microsoft Office and data entry systems.
• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment while maintaining accuracy.
• Experience operating truck scale software, cash handling, waste and recycling, transportation, logistics, or environmental services, and bilingual (English/Spanish or English/Creole) skills are a plus.

Why You'll Love Working Here

• Competitive Pay
• Comprehensive Medical, Dental & Vision Benefits
• 401(k) with Company Match
• Paid Time Off & Holidays
• Employee Referral Program
• Career Growth & Professional Development Opportunities
