Job Description


A large retailer is looking for Transportation Specialists to support their equipment and asset management team. In this role, you will have the opportunity to work with full autonomy as a “business owner” or “project manager” of sorts over your specific program(s). You will get to work with other teams/divisions as well as senior leadership from time to time. On a daily basis, you will be responsible for managing a variety of tasks and projects working with anyone in the transportation field or in retail stores. Examples of these tasks/projects include: if there is a site with too many trailers running out of yard space, you will coordinate with those drivers and gatekeepers to ensure yards stay fluid. You could be troubleshooting issues with a driver, evaluating scheduling or labor issues, working with carrier managers, supporting another department’s equipment request(s), etc. While there are some standard processes established, this role requires strong ownership, initiative, ability to operate independently, and growth mindset as problem solving and working through ambiguity are daily parts of the job
