Shipping & Receiving Coordinator

About the role

Nox Metals is a Detroit-based technology company supplying aluminum plate, bar, and rounds to aerospace and defense manufacturers. We use software and automation to move metal faster than the industry thought possible. This is a career-track role at a company built for long-term growth.

Responsibilities

• Own all inbound/outbound logistics (FTL, LTL, hot shot, parcel) and manage our CDL drivers plus carrier/broker/3PL relationships
• Source, negotiate, and hold carriers accountable with a scorecard tracking on-time %, damage rate, cost per mile, and claims
• Quote and schedule every load to hit customer commitments while keeping inbound material flowing without bottlenecks
• Run forklifts/cranes when the dock needs it, and verify every load against POs and orders
• Own shipping docs (BOLs, packing slips, cert packages), track shipments in our systems, and chase claims/exceptions to resolution
• Build freight spend and performance dashboards, and constantly look for ways to improve lanes, carriers, and processes

Requirements

• 2-4+ years managing shipping/receiving in manufacturing, metals, or distribution
• Deep fluency in FTL/LTL/hot shot/parcel logistics - carriers, rates, lanes
• Strong carrier negotiation skills and comfort managing drivers and dock teams
• Sharp with software/spreadsheets - able to build and run a freight scorecard from scratch
• High ownership, low ego, precise under pressure, safety-first, customer-obsessed
• Ability to lift 50 lbs, work non-standard hours when needed, and never say "that's not my job"

Skills

• Metals/aerospace/defense supply chain experience (nice to have)
• Forklift/crane certification (nice to have)
• TMS or carrier API familiarity (nice to have)
• Comfort using AI tools (nice to have)

Full-time, in person in Detroit.
