Dispatcher + Scheduler

About the role

Keep the Wheels TurningWe're looking for an experienced Dispatcher & Scheduler to support our Darlington and Turtle Lake operations. Initially, this role will focus heavily on dispatching our truck drivers and coordinating with Logistics. As you learn our operation, the role will grow into both transportation dispatching and production scheduling, working closely with our Production and Intake teams to make sure what's coming into the plant, what's being produced, and what's heading back out all stay aligned. If you're someone who can think on your feet, communicate with just about anybody, and find Plan B (or C) without getting rattled, you'll probably fit right in.

Responsibilities

• Dispatch drivers and coordinate daily routes, pickups, and deliveries.
• Reroute and adjust quickly for road closures, weather, delays, equipment issues, or changing priorities.
• Coordinate inbound whey/milk transportation and outbound shipments.
• Partner closely with Intake, Production, and Logistics to align transportation needs with plant schedules and capacity.
• As the role develops, help build and adjust daily and weekly production schedules based on incoming materials, inventory, production needs, and customer demand.
• Keep drivers and plant teams updated when schedules or priorities change.
• Use Excel regularly to organize, track, and communicate information.
• Spot problems early and find practical solutions to keep product, trucks, and production moving.

Requirements

• 3+ years of dispatch experience required, ideally within trucking, transportation, logistics, or manufacturing.
• Strong Excel skills are a MUST.
• Experience coordinating drivers, routes, loads, pickups, and/or deliveries.
• Strong problem‑solving skills, where you can pivot quickly when Plan A doesn’t go to plan.
• Organized and able to juggle multiple priorities without losing the details.
• Comfortable making decisions and working independently.
• Experience with production scheduling, SAP, ERP, TMS, routing, or planning systems is a plus.
• Food, dairy, manufacturing, or agriculture experience is helpful, but not required.
• Able to adjust communication style for diverse audiences — being laid‑back and straightforward with drivers, coordinating production changes with plant teams, and polished for leadership updates.
