Logistics Jobs in Pearl, MS (NOW HIRING)

Inbound and Outbound Logistics Specialist

Position Summary

The Inbound and Outbound Logistics Specialist coordinates the flow of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods through our facility. This role manages receiving of inbound shipments and the scheduling, staging, and shipping of outbound orders, ensuring materials and products move accurately, on time, and in compliance with customer and carrier requirements. It is the physical execution point for the plans set by Purchasing and the commitments made by Customer Service — working closely with both to keep material availability aligned with

production demand and to ensure on-time delivery to customers, including key partners such as Brightstar.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

Inbound Logistics

• Receive, inspect, and verify incoming shipments of raw materials, substrates, inks, and supplies against purchase orders, packing slips, and bills of lading.

• Record all receipts accurately in NetSuite — quantities, lot numbers, and locations — so Purchasing’s inventory records stay reliable.

• Document and report receiving discrepancies, damage, or shortages to Purchasing and Quality the same day, and initiate carrier or supplier claims as needed.

• Coordinate inbound delivery appointments and dock scheduling with suppliers and carriers to minimize congestion and demurrage.

• Stage and put away received materials in designated storage locations following FIFO and 5S standards.

Outbound Logistics

• Plan, schedule, and coordinate outbound shipments to meet customer delivery dates and carrier pickup windows.

• Pick, stage, and verify finished goods against sales orders, ensuring correct product, quantity, labeling, and packaging per work instructions.

• Generate bills of lading, packing lists, shipping labels, and required customer or state-specific documentation.

• Arrange freight with LTL, FTL, and parcel carriers; obtain rates and select cost-effective, on-time transportation options.

• Process shipment transactions in NetSuite and provide tracking and delivery information to Customer Service so customers can be updated promptly.

General & Cross-Functional:

• Maintain inventory accuracy through cycle counts and reconciliation of physical stock to system records, in coordination with the Inventory and Purchasing Specialist.

• Partner with production scheduling to ensure raw material availability supports the production plan and to flag potential shortages.

• Support resolution of past-due POs, oversold SKUs, and slow-moving inventory alongside Purchasing and Operations.

• Operate material handling equipment, including forklifts, safely and in accordance with certification requirements.

• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area in compliance with OSHA and company safety policies (LOTO, PPE, housekeeping).

• Perform other duties as assigned to support warehouse and logistics operations.
