• Enter receipt and shipment information into company systems and maintain accurate, organized records, including proof of delivery.
• Coordinate safe loading and unloading activities with drivers and authorized forklift, crane, rigging, and shop personnel.
• Maintain orderly staging, storage, and traffic areas to support efficient material flow and safe operations.
• Support inventory checks, cycle counts, and process improvements that reduce rehandling, damage, delays, and transportation costs.
• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure material traceability, accurate identification of fabricated pieces, and proper delivery sequencing.
• Adapt to changing production or delivery plans by reprioritizing tasks while maintaining accuracy and safety.
• Communicate clearly with internal and external stakeholders to align schedules, resolve issues, and support on-time deliveries.

• Working proficiency with email, spreadsheets, shared schedules, data entry, and ERP, inventory, or logistics systems.
• Familiarity with load planning, material traceability, fabricated-piece identification, and delivery sequencing.
• Forklift, overhead crane, rigging, or other material-handling experience, with willingness to obtain company training and authorization before operating equipment.
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and follow-through to ensure accurate documentation and material handling.
• Effective communication skills to document issues, coordinate schedules, and work with drivers, shop personnel, and internal teams.
• Ability to remain composed, solve problems, and reprioritize quickly when production or delivery plans change.
• A safety-first mindset and comfort working in an active fabrication shop and outdoor yard environment.
