Logistics & Vendor Coordination

• Support planning and scheduling of deliveries in alignment with procurement and construction plans
• Coordinate with vendors, logistics providers, and internal teams to ensure timely and accurate deliveries
• Resolve delivery, packaging, or documentation issues

Systems, Reporting & Coordination

• Provide accurate material status updates to project teams
• Support material inputs into project reporting and look-ahead planning

Compliance & Continuous Improvement

• Maintain logs for tools, equipment, and certifications
• Identify opportunities to improve material flow, yard organization, and coordination

Skills & Capabilities

• Strong understanding of material flow in construction environments
• Ability to read:

• Packing lists
• Delivery schedules
• Basic drawings (asset)

• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage competing priorities
