We are seeking a Logistics Manager to lead and optimize material flow for a high-volume ethanol and chemical manufacturing facility in Sauget, IL. This is not a traditional logistics role; it sits at the intersection of plant operations, bulk material logistics, and supply chain coordination.
You will play a critical role in ensuring uninterrupted production by managing inbound raw materials, outbound shipments, storage capacity, and vendor coordination. A key component of this position involves helping launch and scale new rail logistics operations, transitioning the facility from customer-managed pickup to company-managed shipping.
This is an opportunity to join a growing, innovative operation with a strong long-term expansion plan and proprietary technology. You will work within a 24/7 facility, partnering with control room and plant operations teams in a highly automated but people-supported environment.
Be part of a growing operation with a strong 5-year expansion plan. You will work with innovative, proprietary technology in the chemical space and have the unique opportunity to help build and scale logistics systems, including the implementation of rail operations.
Candidates must have experience in bulk, high-volume production environments. This role is not a traditional warehouse logistics position (pick/pack/ship), a trucking dispatch role, or for small SKU distribution environments. We are looking for individuals with a proven background in high-volume bulk logistics (liquids, commodities, or chemicals) and experience managing material flow in a production setting.
