ABOUT THE ROLE
|
The Logistics & Expediting Manager owns inbound logistics, freight, and delivery scheduling for major equipment on Hut 8's data center builds - and expedites the critical-path items that decide whether we energize on time. Transformers, switchgear, generators, and chillers are the longest levers in the schedule; this role makes sure they show up when the site needs them, intact, with no surprises. Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following: Logistics Planning & Heavy Haul Own the inbound logistics plan for major equipment: transformers, MV/LV switchgear, generators, chillers, CDUs, and UPS systems. Plan heavy-haul routing and permits, escort and police coordination, bridge/road studies where needed, rigging and offload interfaces, and site delivery windows aligned to crane and laydown availability. Vendor Expediting Run structured expediting on critical-path POs: factory production milestone tracking, in-person or third-party factory visits, FAT scheduling coordination, and ship-date protection. Provide early warning the moment a vendor date is at risk - with a recovery option, not just the bad news. Freight & Carrier Management Select and manage freight forwarders, carriers, and heavy-haul specialists. Manage freight terms, insurance requirements, and OS&D claims; handle customs brokerage and import compliance for international equipment where applicable. Delivery Scheduling & Site Coordination Maintain the rolling delivery lookahead with the Materials Manager, superintendents, and planner/scheduler. Sequence deliveries against installation need dates and site constraints, and referee conflicts when multiple critical loads compete for the same window. Issue Resolution Resolve shipping damage, shortage, mis-delivery, and storage-in-transit issues fast, with clean documentation supporting claims and vendor accountability. Reporting & Process Report logistics status, risks, and expediting actions into the weekly project rhythm. Build Hut 8's logistics playbook: preferred carriers, routing lessons, and delivery requirements baked into future POs. |
