Location: Marble Hill, GA (on site, 5 days a week) Are you a master organizer who thrives at the intersection of customer service and production?

You will also manage dock appointments, ensuring orders transfer correctly from SAP to our Transportation Management System (TMS), troubleshooting the system as needed. Monitor & Plan Capacity: Use SAP daily to monitor plant capacity. Your insights will enable forward planning for product demand and support Customer Service with accurate order entry.

You will report to upper management on logistics issues and opportunities, recommending and leading corrective actions. Collaborate & Problem-Solve: Work with packaging and customer service teams to approve alternative materials (like different bags or pallets) to keep orders moving and prevent frustrating delays. Ensure Business Continuity: Train other Site Logistics Coordinators on processes and procedures, traveling to other locations as necessary to keep our network aligned. Wrap Up the Month: Review the shipped-but-not-processed report at the end of each month and process the balance of completed shipments. What You Bring to the Team Experience & Education: A High School diploma is required, backed by 2 to 3 years of experience in logistics, production, or customer service support within a manufacturing environment. Tech-Savvy: You know your way around ERP business systems in a manufacturing setting ( SAP experience is highly preferred! ). You are also extensively knowledgeable in Google Suite and Microsoft Excel. Dedication: periodically check emails after hours in case of emergency situations Sharp Analytical Skills: You can read the data, anticipate bottlenecks, and make smart, quick decisions. Exceptional Organization: You are highly organized, capable of multitasking, and know how to prioritize tasks effectively in a fast-paced environment. Communication Skills: You bring a professional demeanor and excellent interpersonal skills, making it easy for you to engage with everyone from plant floor operators to external logistics providers and upper management.

Daily Movement: Expect to spend about 80% of your time sitting and navigating systems, and 20% walking or standing. Physical Requirements: You will need manual dexterity and keyboarding skills to manage our ERP and TMS platforms, as well as the ability to drive for occasional travel to other sites. #J-18808-Ljbffr Imerys
