  • Hands-on experience using SAP, particularly Sales and Distribution, Logistics Execution, or Materials Management modules, to process orders, shipments, and inventory movements.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office, including Excel, Word, and Outlook, and ability to learn specialized yard management or weigh-scale software.
  • Strong alphanumeric data-entry skills and attention to detail to prevent shipping or inventory errors.
  • Familiarity with dangerous-goods regulations such as Department of Transportation, Transportation of Dangerous Goods, International Maritime Dangerous Goods, or Accord relatif au transport international des marchandises dangereuses regulations, as applicable by region.
  • Understanding of industrial plant safety, including personal protective equipment requirements, Occupational Safety and Health Administration/Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System compliance, and emergency evacuation procedures.
  • Clear, professional verbal and written communication with truck drivers, carrier dispatchers, plant operators, and customers.
  • Ability to manage driver check-ins, phone calls, document printing, and SAP entries simultaneously under tight delivery windows.
  • Critical-thinking skills to resolve inventory discrepancies, weigh-scale mismatches, or carrier scheduling conflicts quickly.
  • For positions located in Quebec, proficiency in both French and English, spoken and written, is required.

Responsibilities

  • Greet plant visitors, contractors, and delivery personnel; ensure guests check in, complete safety inductions, and wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
  • Greet incoming truck drivers at the shipping office, verify identification and carrier credentials, and assign dock doors or loading racks.
  • Verify that drivers have completed plant safety inductions and have required protective equipment, including hard hats, steel-toe boots, safety glasses, and chemical-resistant gear.
  • Answer and route internal and external calls, and monitor the plant email inbox for inquiries, urgent maintenance notifications, and shipping updates.
  • Sort incoming mail, distribute inter-office memos, and coordinate outgoing courier packages, hazardous-material shipments, and regulatory documents.
  • Prepare and distribute the daily shipping schedule, yard status report, and previous shift's loading summary to plant management, production, and warehouse teams.
  • Organize, file, and digitize daily paperwork, including signed bills of lading, weigh-scale tickets, and carrier logs, in accordance with audit and record-retention policies.
  • Handle incoming and outgoing parcel deliveries, inter-office mail, and urgent document couriers for the logistics and warehouse department.
  • Match vendor invoices and packing slips with purchase orders and forward them to management.
  • Create purchase requisitions for office and plant supplies.
  • Accurately file bills of lading, weigh-scale tickets, certificates of analysis, and hazardous-waste manifests.
  • Generate accurate bills of lading and hazardous-material shipping descriptions that comply with applicable regulations such as Department of Transportation, International Maritime Dangerous Goods, and Accord relatif au transport international des marchandises dangereuses rules.
  • Ensure each outgoing chemical shipment has the correct safety data sheets and emergency-response information packets.
  • Reconcile weigh-scale tickets with SAP weight entries to prevent overloading and ensure accurate net-weight billing.
  • Monitor and process customer and inter-plant orders in SAP, creating outbound deliveries for chemical products.
  • Ensure batch numbers are correctly assigned in SAP to match production runs, and track chemical grade, purity, and manufacturing and expiry dates.
  • Plan and group deliveries into shipments using SAP, assigning appropriate carriers and equipment such as tanker trucks, ISO tanks, railcars, or drum pallets.
  • Execute the Post Goods Issue transaction in SAP after trucks or railcars are loaded and cleared to update inventory levels and trigger invoicing.
  • Investigate and resolve inventory movement errors, stock mismatches, and blocked-stock flags in SAP.
  • Assist logistics supervisors with physical inventory and cycle counts of packaged chemicals, drums, and intermediate bulk containers.
  • Process customer returns, rejected loads, and damaged-packaging reports in SAP, initiating credit memos or material-inspection workflows.
  • Monitor office-supply inventory, including printer paper, visitor protective equipment, safety glasses, desk supplies, and breakroom essentials, and submit reorders as needed.
