Logistics Specialist

Core Duties And Responsibilities

• Cook up heavy haul and out-of-gauge (OOG) shipments from origin to job site, managing all logistics from quotation through final delivery.
• Arrange and manage domestic and international freight across all modes — ocean, air, truck, and parcel.
• Partner directly with construction project managers to align and adjust delivery schedules as project timelines shift, ensuring equipment arrives when crews need it.
• Partner with carriers, freight forwarders, brokers, and 3PLs to optimize service, cost, and performance.
• Align logistics planning with project timelines, budgets, and customer requirements.

Customs Compliance

• Own customs clearance escalations and resolve issues at port of arrival before they impact project schedules.
• Ensure compliance with U.S. and international trade regulations.
• Manage import/export operations, export classifications and customs documentation.
• Direct HTS/ECCN classification experience is a plus but not required — what matters is the ability to oversee consultant work, ask the right questions, and maintain data accuracy in our parts database.
• Approach trade compliance not just as a regulatory obligation but as a lever for cost reduction — actively identifying duty savings, FTA opportunities, and classification strategies that benefit the business.

Education And Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in supply chain management, Business, or related field preferred; equivalent experience considered.
• 5–7 years of logistics or supply chain experience, with significant exposure to international and project-based logistics.
• Demonstrated experience with heavy haul, OOG, and project cargo coordination.
• Strong knowledge of 2020 Incoterms, trade compliance requirements, and global shipping documentation.
• Strong cross-functional relationship builder who takes initiative to find the right people and get things done — not someone who waits for information to come to them.
• Proficient in Microsoft 365 tools including SharePoint and Teams for document collaboration and file management.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
• Proven experience with ERP/MRP systems; Avante or SAP preferred.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including ability to present insights to leadership.
• Self-motivated, results-driven, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Licensed Customs Broker (LCB), Certified Customs Specialist (CCS), Certified Classification Specialist (CCS), or similar trade compliance certification is a plus but not required.
