Transportation Specialist

Insight Global • Atlanta, GA • 6h ago

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!

Compensation: $18/hr to $19/hr

Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education.

Employees in this role will enjoy a comprehensive benefits package starting on day one of employment, including options for medical, dental, and vision insurance. Eligibility to enroll in the 401(k) retirement plan begins after 90 days of employment. Additionally, employees in this role will have access to paid sick leave and other paid time off benefits as required under the applicable law of the worksite location.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
