About the position

The Lead Transportation Coordinator for Project Kuiper at Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC is a pivotal role focused on enhancing global broadband access through a constellation of satellites. This position is responsible for managing the logistics of shipping and receiving materials essential for both production and development efforts. The Lead Transportation Coordinator will utilize proprietary software and ERP systems to ensure accurate and efficient material handling, while also documenting any system issues or process inefficiencies that may arise.

In this position, the Lead Transportation Coordinator will be the main point of contact for escalations from Transportation Coordinators, ensuring that high-priority matters are communicated effectively to leadership. The role demands a proactive approach to moving materials between sites, both physically and virtually, and requires the operation of equipment such as forklifts and pallet jacks. The coordinator will also be responsible for accurately tracking and accounting for all materials and equipment, ensuring that data collection is precise and trends in volume are recognized. A typical day involves offloading materials from trucks, receiving materials against purchase orders, and facilitating internal communication to deliver results.
