About Canadian Canning:

Canadian Canning Inc. is a growing packaging solutions company serving beverage manufacturers across Canada and the United States. We supply aluminum cans, ends, and related packaging products while supporting customers with warehousing, logistics, inventory management, and packaging solutions.

We are currently looking for an organized and dependable Dunnage Coordinator to manage the tracking, movement, return, reconciliation, and accounting coordination of reusable packaging and dunnage used throughout our operations.

Position Overview The Dunnage Coordinator will be responsible for maintaining accurate records of reusable shipping materials such as pallets, top frames, layer pads, separators, and other returnable packaging.

This role involves working closely with our warehouse, logistics, sales, accounting, customers, and transportation partners to ensure dunnage is properly tracked, returned, reconciled, and credited in a timely manner.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, comfortable working with numbers and spreadsheets, and confident following up with customers, carriers, and internal teams.

Key Responsibilities

- Track incoming and outgoing dunnage, including pallets, top frames, layer pads, separators, and other reusable packaging materials.
- Maintain accurate records of dunnage balances by customer, shipment, warehouse, and supplier.
- Reconcile customer dunnage accounts regularly to ensure returned quantities, outstanding balances, and internal records are accurate.
- Work closely with the accounting team to ensure returned dunnage is properly documented and reconciled.
- Provide accounting with complete and accurate supporting information required to issue customer credit memos.
- Follow up with the accounting team to ensure dunnage-related credit memos are issued to customers accurately and in a timely manner.
- Investigate and resolve discrepancies between customer records, warehouse records, invoices, dunnage returns, and credit memos.
- Coordinate the collection and return of empty dunnage from customer locations.




- Communicate regularly with customers regarding outstanding dunnage balances and arrange pickup or return schedules.
- Work with transportation providers to coordinate dunnage pickups and deliveries.
- Reconcile physical dunnage inventory against internal records and customer balances.
- Investigate missing dunnage, damaged materials, incorrect quantities, and other discrepancies.
- Maintain Excel spreadsheets, ERP records, and internal tracking systems.
- Prepare regular reports showing outstanding dunnage balances, returns, aging, reconciliations, and discrepancies.
- Coordinate with warehouse staff to verify quantities being received and shipped.
- Ensure supporting documentation, including bills of lading, delivery records, pickup confirmations, return documentation, and customer acknowledgements, is properly maintained.
- Assist the accounting team with dunnage deposits, credits, charges, and customer account reconciliations.
- Follow up proactively on overdue or outstanding dunnage to minimize losses and unnecessary replacement costs.
- Help improve dunnage tracking, reconciliation, and internal control procedures as the company continues to grow.

Qualifications

- Previous experience in logistics, warehousing, inventory control, transportation, supply chain, accounting administration, or a related role is preferred.
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Comfortable working with inventory quantities, account reconciliations, and supporting financial documentation.
- Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Excel.
- Experience with ERP or inventory management systems is an asset.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Comfortable communicating directly with customers, drivers, warehouses,



transportation companies, and accounting staff.
- Ability to manage multiple outstanding items and follow up consistently.
- Able to work independently while coordinating with several departments.
- Previous experience in manufacturing, packaging, distribution, or beverage operations is considered an asset.

What We Are Looking For This position is well suited for someone who takes ownership of their work and enjoys keeping things organized. Dunnage can move between multiple customers, warehouses, carriers, and suppliers, so we are looking for someone who is persistent about following up and ensuring records match what is physically being moved.

The successful candidate will also play an important role in ensuring dunnage returns are reconciled quickly so that customer credit memos can be processed accurately and without unnecessary delays.

Accuracy, communication, follow-up, and accountability are important in this role.

- Full-time employment with a growing Canadian company
- Opportunity to work closely with logistics, warehousing, sales, and finance
- Hands-on exposure to supply chain and beverage packaging operations
- Chance to take ownership of an important operational function
