About the Role
We are seeking a highly specialized Steel Rail & Intermodal Logistics Manager to oversee, direct, and optimize our high-volume rail and intermodal transportation functions.
This is a senior operational role. The successful candidate will be responsible for the strategic planning, budgeting, and execution of complex steel freight movements, directly managing relationships with Class I railroads, intermodal carriers, transloaders, and drayage providers. This role is vital to ensuring customer delivery continuity, freight cost control, and the seamless transit of heavy industrial steel products.
Key Responsibilities
- Strategic Transportation Management
- Plan, direct, and control all railcar routing, intermodal container movements, and flatbed freight alternatives for cross-border (Canada/US) steel supply chains.
- Optimize supply chain networks to support corporate environmental and net-zero targets, utilizing specialized skills in modal-shift mechanics to transition high-volume freight from high-emission road transport to fuel-efficient rail and intermodal networks.
- Vendor Negotiation & Budgeting
- Establish, monitor, and report on annual transportation budgets.
- Negotiate freight rates, service level agreements (SLAs), and demurrage/detention terms directly with major railway companies, drayage carriers, and transload facilities.
- Operational Execution
- Oversee daily specialized railcar planning (including gondolas and center beams), transloading operations, and complex multi-modal routing to maximize cost-efficiency and minimize transit delays.
- Direct all aspects of railcar fleet management, including private rolling stock lease tracking, fleet maintenance coordination, and car pooling mechanics to minimize demurrage liabilities.
- Risk & Cost Mitigation
- Analyze logistics data to make critical, cost-based routing decisions, mitigate supply chain bottlenecks, and manage complex cross-border customs logistics specific to steel products.
- Process Optimization
- Develop and implement standardized operational workflows for specialized steel handling, ensuring strict compliance with rail safety regulations and weight restrictions.
- Executive Collaboration
- Work directly with executive leadership to align transportation capacity with corporate sales forecasts and production schedules.
Qualifications & Requirements
- Education:
A Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, International Trade, Structural/Industrial Engineering or related field. A post-graduate certification in Supply Chain Logistics (e.g., CSCP, CCLP, or P.Log) is highly preferred.
- Core
Experience:
Minimum 3–5 years of experience in rail logistics, intermodal transportation, or supply chain operations. Hands-on managerial experience strictly within heavy industrial manufacturing or primary metal (steel/iron) supply chains.
- Class I Rail Operational Expertise:
Minimum of 3 years of direct, hands-on operational experience managing industrial freight distribution across Class I Rail Networks (specifically CN, CPKC, CSX, and NS). - Railcar Fleet Mechanics:
Handling structural variations and load capacities of industrial rolling stock, specifically mill gondolas, center beam flatcars, and covered hoppers. - Precision Weight Engineering:
Calculating axle-weight limitation formulas, gross rail load limits (e.g., 286,000 lbs.), and center-of-gravity placement to ensure strict track safety compliance. - Logistical Assets & Pooling:
Managing private railcar lease agreements, tracing car movements, and coordinating railcar pooling mechanics to eliminate demurrage liabilities. - Cross-Border Regulatory Mastery:
Proven expertise in cross-border (Canada–US) transport regulations, including direct handling of CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) and CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) documentation, bonded freight management, and specialized steel tariff codes (HTS/HS codes).
