Raise is currently hiring a contract team member on behalf of our client. They’re expanding their team to meet growing needs, making this a unique prospect to work with an industry leader.

Overview

You keep materials moving into and out of the Calgary assembly operation, and you make sure every cross-border shipment clears customs cleanly. You work with vendors, carriers, freight forwarders, and client’s International Trade team. Your paperwork is accurate, so shipments arrive on time and compliant. This is a new kind of role at the company, so you help shape how the work gets done.

Responsibilities

- Schedule outbound trucks, confirm pickups, and follow up when a truck doesn’t show.
- Combine freight to maximize payload, so shipments don’t go out one pallet at a time.
- Coordinate inbound raw material deliveries with supply vendors and the warehouse team, and plan where materials go on arrival.
- Prepare and review shipping paperwork, including commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, and export declarations.
- Manage imports from China and exports to the US, so classifications, duties, and tariffs are right on every shipment.
- Ask client’s Supply Chain International Trade team for classification codes and requirements, then apply them to each shipment.
- Work with freight forwarders, customs brokers, and carriers to clear customs and resolve delays.
- Keep shipment records and follow-up trackers current in Excel and the company’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
- Track on-time delivery, freight cost, and customs clearance performance.
- Help build import and export procedures from the ground up.

Required Qualifications

- 3+ years in logistics, import/export,



or international trade coordination.
- Hands-on experience with import and export paperwork and customs processes.
- 3+ years with any ERP system.
- Experience working with freight forwarders, customs brokers, and carriers.
- 3+ years using Microsoft Excel to track shipments and follow-ups.
- Sharp attention to detail, plus the confidence to ask tough questions and push back when something looks off.
- Clear, steady communication with outside partners.
- Comfort building a process where none exists yet.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience in oil and gas or drilling, so you know the parts you’re shipping.
- Experience with cross-border shipments between Canada, the US, and China.
