Position Overview
Build a career helping Kiewit project teams get the equipment, materials, and supplier information they need to keep construction moving. As an Entry Level Expeditor, you will support assigned supplier packages from contract award through delivery and closeout. With coaching from experienced expeditors, you will learn how engineering documents, manufacturing progress, inspections, and shipping activities affect delivery dates. Your work will give the team reliable information, timely follow-up, and early visibility of potential delays.
A supplier package is equipment or material covered by a contract or a group of related contracts. You will own assigned follow-up and records within an established plan, with guidance from an experienced expeditor or designated lead. Complexity and independence will increase as you demonstrate proficiency.
