Entry level logistics Jobs in Vaughan, ON

About the role Project North PES is Pangeo's new aluminum die casting and machining plant in Vaughan, Ontario.

As Logistics Coordinator, you turn customer demand, internal capacity, and inventory status into executable production plans, and you keep material moving end to end — from supplier and inbound logistics through production to on-time shipment and customer delivery.

This is a coordination-heavy role at the hub of the plant's material, production, and logistics flow.

You'll set and adjust the schedule, issue internal and supplier orders, coordinate transportation, customs clearance, and warehouse activity, act as a direct point of contact for customers on order status, and report clearly on plan attainment, delivery, and fulfillment.

It suits someone highly organized and data-minded who coordinates well across teams and partners under time pressure.

Responsibilities Capacity evaluation and production planning Regularly evaluate internal capacity and inventory, and combine them with customer order demand to schedule, adjust, and issue internal production plans that meet customer delivery and internal inventory targets.

Develop production plans and production orders and coordinate execution with the production team.

Conduct capacity/load analysis and adjust production plans accordingly.

Apply lean scheduling to optimize floor sequencing and minimize waste.

Internal coordination and scheduling Issue internal production instructions and coordinate scheduling and handoffs across processes and work cells.

Handle production exceptions promptly to keep the plan on track.

Organize and lead production coordination meetings and weekly review meetings.

Supplier material ordering and tracking Issue bulk material purchase orders to suppliers based on delivery terms and production requirements, and track and follow up on order status.

Maintain material availability for volume production without excess inventory accumulation.

Transportation and customs coordination Coordinate inbound and outbound ocean, air, and ground transportation, and arrange delivery appointments and shipment schedules.

Liaise with freight forwarders, customs brokers, carriers, and overseas suppliers on shipment status and customs clearance.

Ensure customs documentation is accurate and complete, and that empty containers are returned before free-time deadlines to avoid detention and demurrage charges.

Track inbound and outbound shipments, proactively resolve transportation delays, and monitor carrier performance and freight cost.

Warehouse, order fulfillment, and customer coordination Coordinate daily inbound and outbound warehouse activity and review shipping documentation (packing lists, bills of lading, inventory reports).

Manage daily customer orders and shipping schedules, coordinating with the warehouse to keep the customer order fulfillment rate at 100%.

Act as a direct point of contact for customers on order status, shipment schedules, and exceptions.

Monitor inventory levels, coordinate cycle counts, investigate discrepancies, and maintain inventory accuracy.

Data analysis and reporting Compile and analyze plan-attainment, delivery, and inventory data on a timely basis, and report the statistics.

Track anomalies and corrective actions through to resolution.

Support continuous improvement with data-driven recommendations on scheduling efficiency.
