• Inventory Weighing & Measuring: Accurately weigh finished goods and record dimensions to prevent shipping discrepancies and ensure precise freight billing.
• Carrier Scheduling: Coordinate with local hubs and drivers to schedule late-evening pickups and manage incoming trailer swaps.
• Logistics Documentation: Generate and verify essential paperwork, including Bills of Lading (BOL), Packing Slips, and Commercial Invoices for international orders.
• Inventory Control: Conduct cycle counts and update the Warehouse Management System (WMS) to reflect real-time stock levels after daily shipments.
• Departmental Synergy: Collaborate with the production team to prioritize "hot" orders and resolve any packaging or labeling errors before dispatch.
• Reporting: Maintain a daily log of shipping costs, volume, and carrier performance for the morning management review.

Skills & Qualifications

• Software Proficiency: Strong experience with UPS WorldShip, FedEx Ship Manager, or similar logistics software is highly preferred.
• Mathematical Accuracy: Sharp basic math skills for calculating shipping weights, postage, and inventory totals.
• Technical Literacy: Ability to navigate ERP/WMS systems and use handheld barcode scanners and digital scales.
• Physical Capability: Ability to stand for long periods and safely lift/move packages up to 50 lbs.
• Organizational Prowess: Excellence in multitasking; able to manage multiple carrier deadlines simultaneously under pressure.
• Communication: Clear verbal and written skills for interacting with drivers, warehouse staff, and customer service.
• Detail-Oriented: A "zero-error" mindset when verifying shipping labels against customer purchase orders.
• Reliability: Proven track record of punctuality and attendance, especially for critical 2nd-shift handoffs.

Compensation & Benefits: Competitive Pay: Compensation is determined by candidate experience, education, certifications, and specific job-related skills. Comprehensive Benefits: Includes premium health insurance (medical, dental, vision) and eligibility for an incentive recognition bonus program. Access to training and development to expand your technical certifications.
