2 months ago

Gloucester, Canada Schooner Transport Full time

_Schooner Transport_ operates a fleet of asphalt & petroleum tankers serving customers throughout Ontario & Québec.

We are looking for the _right_ person who wants to make "dispatching & logistics management" a career, someone who is highly organized and detail-oriented, who can proactively solve unexpected problems when they arise, thrives in a “team” environment and possesses excellent communication skills.

Working as one member on a logistics team, _your_ primary responsibility during the “asphalt season” (typically May through early November) will be ensuring the efficient movement & on-time delivery of liquid asphalt products from production facilities to various destinations.

Typically our asphalt drivers load late at night / very early in the morning, and make deliveries anywhere between 5 am & 9 am. If there is a snafu such as a driver reporting sick, a loading issue at terminal, etc., you would be the person receiving the call and solving the problem.

Load assignments are often organized 12 to 24 hours (or more) in advance of a delivery, being mindful of individual driver’s weekly schedule & available “hours of service”. Coordinating as necessary with the maintenance team to ensure that tractors & tankers are ready & available, is important as well.

During asphalt’s “off-season”, you will be working with the rest of the dispatch team in overseeing the coordination of fuel & ethanol deliveries (very few asphalt loads are dispatched November through April).

- Coordinate transportation logistics for the delivery of liquid asphalt products to customers, including scheduling, routing, and tracking shipments
- Collaborate with supply and client companies, drivers, and internal teams to ensure timely and accurate delivery of products

- Proactively manage a positive working relationship with our drivers & maintenance personnel
- Perform data entry and verify that loads / trips assigned to drivers are accurately recorded in the company's dispatch system (_Dispatch Mate_)
- Review and approve ‘wait-times’ (drivers waiting longer than standard to load at a terminal)
- Effectively leads the drivers by setting an example in behavior, values & duties
- Enforce all company rules, policies & procedures related to employee and client conduct
- Visibly demonstrate a commitment to ‘safety’ by stringently following all safety & health procedures and modeling the behaviors related to such
- Assist team members by providing additional support or coverage as needed (i.e. “work as a team”)
- Compile reports for review by management as requested
- Perform various administrative tasks related to logistics & dispatching, as may be required
