About the Role

<div class="content-intro"><p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p></div><p><strong>ABOUT THE ROLE</strong></p> <table width="774"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="582"> <p>The Logistics &amp; 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.</p> <p>Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:</p> <p><strong>Logistics Planning &amp; Heavy Haul</strong></p> <p>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.</p> <p><strong>Vendor Expediting</strong></p> <p>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.</p> <p><strong>Freight &amp; Carrier Management</strong></p> <p>Select and manage freight forwarders, carriers, and heavy-haul specialists. Manage freight terms, insurance requirements, and OS&amp;D claims; handle customs brokerage and import compliance for international equipment where applicable.</p> <p><strong>Delivery Scheduling &amp; Site Coordination</strong></p> <p>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.</p> <p><strong>Issue Resolution</strong></p> <p>Resolve shipping damage, shortage, mis-delivery, and storage-in-transit issues fast, with clean documentation supporting claims and vendor accountability.</p> <p><strong>Reporting &amp; Process</strong></p> <p>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.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>ABOUT YOU</strong></p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p>What we're looking for:</p> <p>- 5+ years in project logistics, traffic, or expediting for major capital projects - data center, power generation, oil &amp; gas, or heavy industrial.</p> <p>- Hands-on heavy-haul experience: permits, routing studies, escorts, and rigging interfaces for loads in the 100k-500k+ lb class.</p> <p>- Vendor expediting depth: factory milestone tracking, FAT logistics, and holding OEMs accountable to ship dates.</p> <p>- Freight commercial fluency: Incoterms, carrier contracts, cargo insurance, and claims.</p> <p>- Customs/import experience for international equipment a plus.</p> <p>- Strong scheduling instincts and comfort working directly against a P6-driven need-date list.</p> <p>- Calm, solution-first operator when a load is stuck, damaged, or late.</p> <p>- Proficiency with logistics tracking tools and Excel; ERP exposure a plus.</p> <p>- Travel to factories, ports, and project sites as needed (typically 25-40%).</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p><strong>ABOUT THE WORK ENVIRONMENT</strong></p> <p>T<span class="NormalTextRun SCXW204107212 BCX0">his role is&nbsp;</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW204107212 BCX0">in&nbsp;</span><span class="NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2Themed SCXW204107212 BCX0">office</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW204107212 BCX0">&nbsp;at our corporate headquarters in the Brickell area of Miami, Florida.</span></p>
