Position Overview:
FL Carriers is seeking a detail-oriented and highly organized Logistics Coordinator to manage the full logistics workflow, from order reception and data entry through job creation, dispatch, and delivery close-out, for the efficient delivery of bulk materials throughout British Columbia and Alberta.

Track maintenance records, preventative maintenance schedules, and related fleet documentation, and communicate with Shop personnel regarding repairs and preventative maintenance.
Support safety documentation processes and assist with record keeping related to safety meetings and compliance initiatives.
Communication & Stakeholder Coordination
Provide excellent customer service, proving delivery updates in real-time and amend schedules to optimize logistical efficiency as needed.
Work closely with office administration, accounting, mechanics, and the operations team to ensure operational challenges are addressed quickly and communicated to all stakeholders.
Communicate with the safety team and customers to exchange information, coordinate activities, and resolve issues on site.
Receive and respond to inquiries regarding routing, scheduling, documentation, invoicing support, and delivery confirmations.
