Logistics & Expediting Manager

The Logistics & Expediting Manager owns inbound logistics, freight, and delivery scheduling for major equipment on Hut 8's data center builds - and expedites the critical-path items that decide whether we energize on time. Transformers, switchgear, generators, and chillers are the longest levers in the schedule; this role makes sure they show up when the site needs them, intact, with no surprises. Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following: Own the inbound logistics plan for major equipment: transformers, MV/LV switchgear, generators, chillers, CDUs, and UPS systems. Plan heavy-haul routing and permits, escort and police coordination, bridge/road studies where needed, rigging and offload interfaces, and site delivery windows aligned to crane and laydown availability. Run structured expediting on critical-path POs: factory production milestone tracking, in-person or third-party factory visits, FAT scheduling coordination, and ship-date protection. Provide early warning the moment a vendor date is at risk - with a recovery option, not just the bad news. Select and manage freight forwarders, carriers, and heavy-haul specialists. Manage freight terms, insurance requirements, and OS&D claims; handle customs brokerage and import compliance for international equipment where applicable. Delivery Scheduling & Site Coordination Maintain the rolling delivery lookahead with the Materials Manager, superintendents, and planner/scheduler. Sequence deliveries against installation need dates and site constraints, and referee conflicts when multiple critical loads compete for the same window. Resolve shipping damage, shortage, mis-delivery, and storage-in-transit issues fast, with clean documentation supporting claims and vendor accountability. Reporting & Process Report logistics status, risks, and expediting actions into the weekly project rhythm. Build Hut 8's logistics playbook: preferred carriers, routing lessons, and delivery requirements baked into future POs. ABOUT YOU What we're looking for: 5+ years in project logistics, traffic, or expediting for major capital projects - data center, power generation, oil & gas, or heavy industrial. Hands-on heavy-haul experience: permits, routing studies, escorts, and rigging interfaces for loads in the 100k-500k+ lb class. Vendor expediting depth: factory milestone tracking, FAT logistics, and holding OEMs accountable to ship dates. Freight commercial fluency: Incoterms, carrier contracts, cargo insurance, and claims. Customs/import experience for international equipment a plus. Strong scheduling instincts and comfort working directly against a P6-driven need-date list. Calm, solution-first operator when a load is stuck, damaged, or late. Proficiency with logistics tracking tools and Excel; ERP exposure a plus. Travel to factories, ports, and project sites as needed (typically 25-40%).
