This is a newly created position intended to centralize the logistics function that is currently handled across multiple people and locations. The role is accountable for sourcing and awarding freight competitively, executing freight transactions correctly in Syteline, and reducing WeldFit's total freight spend against defined annual targets.\nThe position reports into Procurement for strategic direction, category management, and cost performance, and works day to day alongside the HTLS service operations team. Success in this role requires operating effectively in both settings - close enough to operations to anticipate job requirements, and independent enough to hold the line on cost and process.\nScope is initially limited to HTLS services. As the function matures, the role may expand to support freight requirements across additional WeldFit business units.\nKey Responsibilities\nFreight execution\nServe as the single point of coordination for all inbound and outbound freight supporting HTLS services, including equipment mobilization and demobilization, fittings and materials, tooling, and returns.\nPlan and schedule shipments against job requirements, coordinating with service operations, the Houston manufacturing facility, customers, and third-party providers.\nCoordinate specialized moves as required, including oversize/overweight loads, permitted routes, escorts, crane and rigging requirements, and expedited freight.\nEnsure loads are properly secured, documented, and dispatched, and that arrival timing is communicated to internal stakeholders and customers.\nResolve in-transit issues, delays, damages, and claims.\nSourcing and cost management\nCompetitively bid freight to the market on a per-job basis, maintaining a qualified carrier base sufficient to generate meaningful competition on each award.\nAward freight on the basis of total cost, capacity, service history, and risk, documenting the rationale where the lowest-cost option is not selected.\nDevelop and maintain a carrier network across the lanes and equipment types HTLS services requires.\nAchieve annual freight cost reduction targets established with Procurement, and report progress against those targets.\nIdentify structural savings opportunities beyond per-job bidding, including lane consolidation, backhaul utilization, mode selection, packaging and load optimization, and negotiated rate agreements where volume supports them.\nProcess and controls\nGenerate purchase orders in Syteline at the time of award to the selected freight provider, before the load moves.\nReconcile freight vendor invoices against awarded rates and purchase orders, resolve discrepancies with carriers, and approve for payment in time to support job billing and month-end close. Identify delivered-but-uninvoiced loads and provide them to accounting for accrual.\nMaintain complete documentation for each shipment, including bills of lading, proof of delivery, permits, and accessorial support.\nVerify carrier qualification and compliance, including operating authority, insurance coverage, and safety standing, and maintain current records.\nOnboard all freight vendors to a standard set of requirements, including payment terms, invoicing requirements, required documentation, and communication expectations.\nEnsure freight costs are coded and allocated correctly to jobs to support accurate job costing and margin reporting.\nReporting and continuous improvement\nProduce monthly freight reporting covering spend, savings, carrier performance, on-time delivery, and exceptions.\nMaintain vendor scorecards covering on-time performance, invoice accuracy, invoice timeliness, and documentation compliance. Conduct periodic reviews and address non-compliant vendors.\nRecommend and implement improvements to logistics processes, systems use, and carrier management practices.\nSupport Procurement on freight-related category strategy and supplier negotiations.\nPerformance Measures\nFreight cost reduction against annual target.\nPercentage of freight competitively bid.\nPercentage of freight covered by a purchase order issued at time of award.\nOn-time delivery performance.\nInvoice accuracy and cycle time from receipt to approval.\nQualifications\nQualifications\nRequired\nFive or more years of experience in transportation, logistics, dispatch, or freight operations.\nDemonstrated ability to source capacity and negotiate freight rates.\nWorking knowledge of DOT regulations, shipping documentation, and carrier insurance and authority requirements.\nExperience coordinating heavy haul, flatbed, or specialized equipment moves.\nProficiency in Excel and comfort working within an ERP system.\nAbility to work independently in a field-adjacent environment while operating inside defined procurement processes and approval thresholds.\nPreferred\nExperience in oilfield services, pipeline services, or industrial manufacturing.\nPrior experience on the buy side of freight - sourcing, awarding, and managing carriers on behalf of a shipper.\nFamiliarity with Syteline or a comparable ERP.\nExperience with oversize/overweight permitting and route planning.\nExperience with cross-border or international freight.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5292,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Insurance coverage"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Logistics","Petroleum & Mining Engineering","Oil & Gas"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-08T00:00:21Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"green card filings: 1","filings_12m":0,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":1,"median_offered_wage_usd":82500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["conf:4","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-09T06:01:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/weldfit-logistics-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/weldfit-logistics-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-10T02:30:49Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4696,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":304,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2161061},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2161061"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fweldfit-logistics-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fweldfit-logistics-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fweldfit-logistics-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/weldfit-logistics-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fweldfit-logistics-manager"}]}
