Full Job Description

Keep Material Moving. Solve Problems. Find a Way.

At Beacon Recycling, our Outbound Logistics Specialist is the person who helps make sure sold material actually gets where it needs to go.

Operating from our Muskegon facility, you'll coordinate the movement of high volumes of recycled metal to steel mills, foundries, and industrial consumers. That means securing trucks and railcars, working with carriers, tracking inventory, solving transportation problems, and making sure our monthly sales plan turns into actual shipments.

This is not a position where you simply enter orders and wait for things to happen.

We're looking for someone who takes ownership, stays ahead of problems, communicates confidently, and brings ingenuity and flexibility to a logistics environment where the obvious solution is not always the best, or even available.

What You'll Do

No two days will look exactly the same. You may find yourself:

Coordinating outbound shipments by truck, rail, and other bulk transportation methods
Turning the monthly sales plan into an actionable transportation schedule
Sourcing trucks, railcars, and other transportation capacity needed to keep material moving
Building relationships with carriers, brokers, and owner-operators
Negotiating freight rates and identifying opportunities to reduce transportation costs
Monitoring shipments and responding quickly when a truck is late, equipment is unavailable, or a shipment doesn't go according to plan
Developing creative alternatives when normal transportation options, schedules, or resources aren't available
Looking beyond the obvious solution and finding practical ways to move material while balancing cost, timing, customer expectations, and operational needs
Using RIMAS, ShipCSX.com, Microsoft Office, and other logistics systems to plan, ship, trace, and audit loads
Working closely with Sales, Yard Operations, and the Scale House to understand inventory levels and determine what needs to move next
Communicating with carriers and mill buyers regarding schedules, shipment status, and changing transportation needs
Helping prevent yard bottlenecks by making sure the right transportation capacity is available at the right time
Keeping shipment schedules, freight information, documentation, and inventory data accurate and organized

You'll Be Successful Here If You...

Naturally take ownership of problems instead of waiting for someone else to solve them
Can manage multiple priorities without losing track of the details
Think ahead and recognize potential transportation problems before they become emergencies
Bring ingenuity to problem-solving and are willing to think outside the box when the standard approach isn't working
Are adaptable and comfortable changing direction when new information, capacity limitations, or operational needs require a different plan
Don't stop at "that won't work"; you start asking "what else could work?"
Are comfortable picking up the phone, negotiating with carriers, and pushing for solutions
Communicate clearly and directly with people at all levels of the organization
Stay organized even when schedules change throughout the day
Can make decisions quickly when transportation capacity, inventory, or customer requirements change
Enjoy working in a role where your decisions have an immediate impact on operations
Have a strong sense of urgency without sacrificing accuracy
Like finding better, faster, or more cost-effective ways to get something done

What We're Looking For

College degree in Business, Supply Chain Management, Logistics, or a related field
Experience in logistics, transportation, third-party freight sourcing, heavy industry, or bulk material transportation preferred
Strong Microsoft Office skills
Ability to quickly learn specialized systems such as RIMAS and ShipCSX
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Strong organizational and problem-solving abilities
Demonstrated ability to adapt, improvise, and develop practical solutions when established processes or normal transportation options aren't enough
Attention to detail when working with schedules, documentation, freight information, and inventory data

This Role May Be a Great Fit If...

You're the type of person who sees five trucks, three railcars, changing inventory levels, a customer deadline, and a carrier issue and thinks:

"Alright. Let's figure this out."

And when Plan A stops working, you don't freeze or keep forcing the same approach. You evaluate the situation, talk to the right people, consider alternatives, and develop Plan B, C, or D if that's what it takes to keep things moving.

You don't need someone constantly telling you what to do next. You gather the information, communicate with the right people, make a plan, and follow it through.

You understand that logistics is rarely perfect. Schedules change. Capacity disappears. Customers change priorities. Equipment becomes unavailable. Success in this role requires someone who can adjust quickly, challenge assumptions, and find workable solutions rather than becoming stuck because circumstances don't fit the original plan.

The Environment

Beacon Recycling is a fast-paced, team-oriented industrial recycling operation. This position is based at our Muskegon facility and involves both indoor office work and interaction with our outdoor yard and operational teams.

You'll work closely with employees in Sales, Operations, the Scale House, and transportation, so success requires someone who is comfortable communicating across departments and being close to the day-to-day operation.

Why This Position Matters

When outbound logistics works well, material moves, customers receive what they purchased, yard inventory stays under control, and Beacon avoids unnecessary freight costs.

When something goes wrong, you're one of the people everyone relies on to help solve it.

Sometimes the answer will be straightforward. Other times, success will depend on your ability to think differently, develop alternatives, and find a way forward when the usual solution isn't available.

If you enjoy transportation, negotiation, creative problem-solving, and coordinating complex logistics in a fast-moving industrial environment, we'd like to hear from you.
