Description:

Intro 

We are looking for an independent, detail-oriented problem solver who takes ownership of their work and thrives in a fast-paced environment. Our Logistics Coordinators manage multiple active shipments at once, build and adjust delivery plans, coordinate with manufacturers, jobsites, and transportation providers, and solve issues before they disrupt a project. This role is ideal for someone who likes having responsibility for a process from start to finish, enjoys working through details, and takes satisfaction in keeping things organized and on schedule. You’ll be expected to know what is happening with your shipments, identify problems early, communicate clearly, and take action to keep material moving. 

Job Summary
The Logistics Coordinator manages outbound freight logistics for steel joist and metal deck shipments from O’Donnell Metal Deck locations and manufacturers to construction jobsites. This role follows up with manufacturers to keep production and shipping commitments on schedule, coordinates delivery requirements with jobsite contacts, and sources transportation through freight brokers to ensure timely, accurate, and cost-effective shipments. Construction logistics rarely goes exactly according to plan. Loading delays, manufacturer changes, jobsite schedule adjustments, truck availability, and tight delivery windows require the Logistics Coordinator to quickly assess the situation, determine the best solution, and coordinate the necessary parties. Reliable and timely delivery consistently ranks as one of the top reasons our customers choose O’Donnell Metal Deck. This role owns a critical part of that commitment: holding manufacturers accountable to ship dates, protecting scheduled delivery windows, resolving time-sensitive freight issues, and ensuring the right material arrives at the right place at the right time. 

Primary Responsibilities 

• Take ownership of the order once it's released to the plant by the PM, managing it through final jobsite delivery 
• Hold manufacturers to committed ship dates and jobsites to planned delivery windows and escalate when needed 
• Follow up with the manufacturers as the ship date approaches to catch and prevent delays before they impact the schedule 
• Coordinate outbound freight for full truckload (FTL) flatbed & hotshot deliveries from MFRs to jobsites. 
• Request rates, negotiate and book shipments through freight brokers (not direct carriers) to stay within budget and identify cost-saving opportunities. 
• Confirm site access, site contacts, and offload equipment with construction crews or foremen. 
• Track & confirm freight pickup and delivery windows; handle delays or carrier issues in real time. 
• Communicate shipment details clearly to project managers, customers, and MFRs. 
• Maintain accurate shipment documentation (BOLs, carrier info, site contacts) in internal systems. 
• Update QuickBooks upon successful delivery for material receipts and project invoicing  
• Flag any freight-related cost changes or delivery risks to internal teams. 

Why Join Us? 

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonus
