Logistics Coordinator (Shipping & Receiving)

Description

  At Evergreen, we’re in business to change the world. Evergreen was originally founded in 1998 to provide a sustainable, reliable supply of quality polyester resin for parent company Greenbridge Packaging’s portfolio of PET strapping. Each year, Evergreen recycles one billion PET bottles, keeping them out of landfills, oceans, rivers, forests, and roadways. We also produce 40 million pounds of recycled PET plastic that goes into new bottles and other products. And we’re working with communities and businesses to buy their trash so it can be recycled, too.   We’re now in the process of expanding our production capacity of rPET, a move that will nearly double our annual volume of food and non-food grade pellet and flake. Existing pellet lines are being upgraded to solid state processing. 

There’s another important side to Evergreen. We partner with municipal and commercial recycling facilities as well as business and industrial customers, accepting recyclable material and offering rebates for PET bottles and other PET material. This material is then sorted and made ready for other uses. The end goal is to make landfills a thing of the past, help customers achieve sustainability goals and make the circular economy possible for all of us.

The Logistics Coordinator will be responsible for all items related to shipping and receiving, as well as raw material usage throughout the plant. The successful candidate will be a high energy, self-directed, self-starter with the ability to adapt to changes in schedules/demands with minimal guidance and supervision. Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to effectively interface across multiple levels of the organization are a must.
