Logistics Manager

Job Description

The Role: As Tesla’s Logistics Manager for a large industrial process facility, you will own inbound and onsite logistics execution supporting multiple refining facilities. Reporting to the Material Manager, you will build and lead the logistics team that orchestrates traffic, deliveries, heavy-haul moves, laydown flow, and material movement so the right equipment and commodities arrive, stage, and transfer owners without becoming the constraint. This is a high-accountability role for someone who thrives on complexity, controls the yard like a production system, and refuses to let logistics slow the field. You will also size, hire, and develop the crew that keeps the site fed. If you can run a large-site logistics machine with precision and urgency, this role was built for you. Responsibilities:

• Own the staffing plan for logistics, forecasting headcount against the construction ramp and recruiting, onboarding, training, and developing the coordinators and traffic control resources needed before volume arrives

• Own day-to-day logistics operations for a large processing facility site, including inbound delivery coordination, gate/traffic flow, heavy-haul and oversized moves, and internal material transfers

• Plan and execute delivery schedules with Procurement, Warehouse, Construction, and Operations so critical path equipment and bulk commodities arrive in the right sequence with minimal congestion

• Manage laydown logistics and material movement plans, optimizing routes, crane/truck interfaces, and staging locations to protect productivity and safety

• Own the logistics organization, including logistics coordinators, dispatchers, traffic control resources, and vendor/carrier interfaces, setting clear expectations for on time performance, documentation, and issue escalation

• Resolve logistics constraints in real time, including late carriers, access conflicts, incomplete paperwork, damaged freight, and competing site moves, before they impact construction or commissioning

• Maintain rigorous logistics tracking and reporting for the Material Manager, including delivery status, yard congestion risks, and upcoming heavy-lift/haul windows

• Enforce site logistics standards for safety, escort requirements, load securement checks, and compliance with Tesla site traffic and security protocols

Skills and Requirements

• 5+ years of logistics, materials, or site logistics management experience on major industrial, refining, chemical, manufacturing, or large capital project sites

• Direct people-leadership experience building and staffing logistics or materials teams, including headcount forecasting, hiring, scheduling, and performance management of direct and contract personnel

• Demonstrated ownership of high-volume inbound logistics and onsite material movement in a congested, multi-contractor environment

• Proven ability to coordinate carriers, heavy-haul vendors, warehouse/receiving, and construction demand signals into a reliable daily execution plan

• Strong expertise of laydown management, traffic control, oversized loads, and industrial site delivery constraints on major capital projects

• Exceptional organizer and communicator who can run multiple concurrent delivery and transfer workstreams without dropping details

• Data-driven operator comfortable with trackers, delivery schedules, and status reporting to materials leadership

• High energy, decisive, and relentlessly focused on keeping material flowing so logistics never becomes the reason the schedule slips
