Description

We are looking for an experienced Logistics Manager to lead daily shipping and receiving operations in North Carolina. This role is well suited for someone who thrives in a hands-on manufacturing environment, communicates effectively across multiple departments, and brings the judgment to keep freight activity accurate and on schedule. The ideal candidate can step into the function with confidence, support a developing team member, and identify practical ways to improve efficiency without sacrificing detail.

Responsibilities:

• Oversee inbound and outbound logistics activities, ensuring materials and finished goods are received, documented, and shipped accurately and on time.

• Coordinate closely with purchasing, fabrication, assembly, and production teams to align shipment priorities with operational needs each day.

• Serve as a primary point of contact for carriers and drivers, resolving scheduling issues, documentation questions, and delivery concerns professionally.

• Review shipping records, part numbers, and trailer identifiers with a high degree of precision to prevent costly errors and downstream disruptions.

• Guide and support an entry-level team member by providing direction, sharing best practices, and reinforcing consistent logistics procedures.

• Partner with accounting on freight-related paperwork and transaction support tied to payables, receivables, and shipment records.

• Use Microsoft Office tools and internal business systems to track orders, confirm details, and maintain organized logistics documentation.

• Evaluate current shipping and receiving workflows and recommend improvements that strengthen accuracy, responsiveness, and overall department performance.

Requirements • Proven experience managing shipping and receiving activities within a manufacturing, distribution, or logistics environment.

• Demonstrated leadership ability, whether through formal supervision or by taking ownership of logistics operations and mentoring others.

• Strong attention to detail, with the ability to verify data accurately and avoid documentation or shipment errors.

• Ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams and communicate professionally with colleagues, vendors, and truck drivers.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Word and Excel, along with the ability to learn company-specific systems quickly.

• Comfortable working in a fully on-site role and adjusting schedule needs when outbound shipment activity requires additional coverage.

• Capable of operating independently, making sound decisions, and improving processes without extensive day-to-day oversight.
