• Leadership & Team Management: Serve in a leadership role overseeing all logistics functions, including shipping, receiving, and inbound freight coordination through final delivery. You will manage personnel scheduling, performance, and development, promoting accountability, a safety-first workplace, and compliance with DOT regulations.

You will also work with the Quality team on material requiring inspection, approval, or rejection before packaging or shipment.

• Process Improvement & Operational Excellence: Analyze logistics, shipping, and packaging data to identify opportunities for improvement in cost, throughput, and freight efficiency. You will champion best practices (e.g., standardized pallet configurations, 5S, FIFO/FEFO) and lead or participate in Kaizen events and continuous-improvement projects to optimize workflows.
