We are hiring a shipping supervisor to own everything that happens between a customer order and the trailer leaving our dock — picking, staging, loading, documentation, carrier coordination and on-time departure against customer delivery windows.

The role sits under Production Control and Customer Service on purpose. Our largest customers hold us to must-arrive-by dates and routing guides, and deduct against us when we miss. Putting shipping next to the people who own the customer relationship means the person loading the trailer knows what the customer committed to, and the person answering the customer knows what is actually on the dock.
