+ Familiarity with hazmat documentation or DOT shipping regulations is a plus

+ Self-motivated, adaptable, and comfortable working independently in a deadline-driven environment

Working Conditions: This is an office-based position located onsite at an active transloading terminal. While interaction with field staff and drivers is regular, this role does not involve physical labor or outdoor duties. Standard work hours apply, with occasional flexibility based on shipment schedules.

Benefits:
