  • Coordinate closely with lead fleet boats to prioritize daily fleet operations. 
  • Relay critical updates to team and management to ensure seamless shift transitions. 
Data Entry & Reporting 
  • Accurately enter barge data including consignments, re-consignments, unloads, loadings, cleanings, and other operational notes. 
  • File order sheets, billing records, and related documentation daily. 
  • Process billing transactions at least twice per day, including miscellaneous and special fleeting functions. 
  • Support local accounting by managing billing notifications and reconciliations. 
Operational Knowledge & Cross-Training 
  • Develop and maintain a strong understanding of fleet capabilities, horsepower allocation, and inventory management. 
  • Gain familiarity with mile points along the assigned river segment to support vessel navigation and dispatching. 
  • Execute all responsibilities in alignment with ADM's Core Values and The ADM Way. 
Qualifications & Requirements 
Education & Experience 
  • Bachelor's degree in business, logistics, transportation, or a related field (preferred); equivalent work experience accepted. 
Previous marine dispatch experience highly valued. 
Skills & Competencies 
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to prioritize multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment. 
  • Demonstrated aptitude for learning dispatch systems, river operations, and barge scheduling procedures. 
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills for interacting with customers, vessel crews, and cross-functional teams. 
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook. 
Work Environment & Schedule 
  • Monday-Friday 7AM-4PM with flexibility to work extended hours/weekends if needed.
