Job Description

Logistics Manager

Location: Jacksonville Beach, FL

Compensation: $95,000–$105,000 base salary

About the Role

We are partnering with a growing provider of critical power infrastructure and electrical equipment seeking a Logistics Manager to build and manage its internal shipping and freight operations.

This is a newly created position focused on bringing greater control over transportation costs, shipment visibility, and delivery execution. Rather than relying on equipment manufacturers to arrange freight, the organization is looking to manage these activities directly and establish a more consistent, cost-effective process.

The ideal candidate combines hands-on freight and transportation experience with the ability to develop processes, negotiate with carriers, and coordinate closely with sales, project management, suppliers, and customers.

What You’ll Do

• Build and manage an internal logistics process for shipping purchased equipment to customer and project locations.
• Source, evaluate, and negotiate with freight carriers, brokers, and third-party logistics providers to improve service and control costs.
• Coordinate shipments from manufacturers and suppliers through final delivery, including scheduling, tracking, and issue resolution.
• Provide clear shipment status updates and delivery visibility to internal teams and customers.
• Review freight quotes, shipping documentation, invoices, and accessorial charges to identify savings and prevent avoidable costs.
• Partner with sales and project management teams to align equipment deliveries with customer commitments and project schedules.
• Develop practical workflows and performance measures for freight cost, delivery reliability, and carrier performance.
• Manage exceptions such as delays, damaged equipment, and time-sensitive deliveries while maintaining strong vendor relationships.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience managing freight, transportation, shipping, or logistics operations, ideally involving industrial or commercial equipment.
• Working knowledge of carrier selection, freight pricing, shipping documentation, and transportation coordination.
• Demonstrated ability to improve processes, manage vendor relationships, and take ownership of logistics performance.
• Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills, particularly when managing multiple shipments and changing deadlines.
• Comfort working across sales, operations, suppliers, and project teams in a growing organization.
• Experience with electrical equipment, manufacturing, construction supply chains, or project-based deliveries is preferred.
• Experience coordinating oversized or specialized equipment shipments is a plus.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is an opportunity to establish a new function with a clear business purpose: improve delivery visibility, strengthen vendor accountability, and reduce freight costs. The person stepping into this role will help shape how logistics is managed as the organization continues to grow.
