We're hiring a Logistics & Packaging Coordinator to own packaging, shipping, receiving, and freight management for a precision component manufacturer serving customers across highly regulated, quality-driven industries. This is a hands-on, fast-paced environment where accuracy, documentation, and customer compliance matter every day.
This is also a place to build a long-term career.
