Logistics Coordinator jobs

Position Summary

Do you take satisfaction in getting every truck out full and on time? Kings Energy Group is looking for a Logistics Coordinator to run dispatch out of our Lloydminster branch and lead our team of Fuel Truck Operators from the morning tailgate to the last drop. This is the seat where the day gets built: you sequence the loads, brief the operators before they leave the yard, and stay the first call when a truck goes down, the weather turns, or a client changes the plan.

Alongside that, you keep the numbers honest: watching client tank levels so deliveries land before anyone runs dry, calling clients along the route to fill partly loaded trucks, and reconciling tickets and bills of lading against litres actually delivered. Safety and regulatory compliance are held without exception, no matter how tight the schedule. If you enjoy solving the puzzle of routes, loads, and hours, and you lead a team well while you do it, you will fit right in.

Duties and Responsibilities

Driver Leadership & Team Management

• Lead a team of Fuel Truck Operators in Lloydminster, and coordinate third-party carriers
• Host daily morning tailgates before trucks roll, covering weather and road conditions, hazards at specific client sites, and the day's priorities
• Confirm every operator leaves the yard clear on their loads, trip sequence, and what each client is expecting
• Stay reachable through the day as the operators' first call when issues arise or a client changes the plan
• Give feedback same day, correcting missed pre-trips, paperwork gaps, or unsafe shortcuts, and recognizing strong work just as quickly
• Build the driver schedule, arrange vacation and sick coverage, and manage the weekend on-call rotation so coverage is maintained without burning anyone out
• Track operator performance on delivery, safety, and efficiency measures, and bring those numbers to the weekly scorecard
• Act on feedback from operators, adjusting routing and handover practices to improve systems

Route & Load Optimization

• Build and sequence daily loads so trucks leave full and transport costs are minimized
• Get assignments out to operators early and accurately, then rework the plan through the day as emergency fuel calls, weather, and client delays reshape it
• Resolve issues quickly as they surface, keeping disruptions from impacting the rest of the day's schedule
• Monitor load and unload times at racks, bulk plants, and client sites, tracking demurrage and chasing the causes of wait time until the charges stop
• Look for ways to tighten the dispatch process, reduce cost per litre delivered, and remove any unnecessary steps

Client Engagement & Volume Gap Management

• Confirm delivery details with clients, answer questions on timing and product, and follow through on concerns rather than waiting to be chased
• Spot partly loaded trucks and gaps in the day's schedule before they leave the yard
• Call clients along the day's routes to top up volumes, fill the gaps, and optimize loads
• Monitor weekly utilization and volume targets, turning empty tanks into delivered litres

Safety & Regulatory Compliance

• Hold operators to TDG protocols, internal safety standards, and Kings' standard operating procedures on every run, with no exceptions made for a tight schedule
• Review daily pre-trip and post-trip inspections, hours of service logs, and electronic logging records, following up on anything missing or incomplete
• Keep the team current on accident prevention, spill response, environmental handling requirements, and emergency procedures so everyone goes home safe

Paperwork, Reconciliation & Inventory

• Collect delivery tickets and bills of lading daily and reconcile them against litres actually delivered
• Sort out missing information or discrepancies at the dispatch desk, and approve reconciled paperwork before it goes to the back office
• Keep dispatch records current so load assignments, delivery outcomes, and daily activity can be reviewed or audited at any point
• Support the accounting team with billing questions and month end, tracing a ticket back to the run when something does not line up
• Monitor client tank levels and Kings' inventory data, scheduling deliveries before clients need replenishment

Who we are looking for

Skills/Competencies

• A leader operators respect: you can hold a driver with twenty years on the road to a standard without conflict, and you do it by picking up the phone rather than sending an email
• Calm when it all lands at once, so when a truck is down, a client's tank is dry, and there is a lineup at the pump, you decide what gets solved first and keep everything else moving
• Safety first, with no exceptions: you treat safety rules as the reason everyone gets home, not as paperwork to get through
• A puzzle solver who enjoys sequencing loads, compartments, routes, and hours, and who sees the wasted kilometre before it gets driven
• Accurate with paperwork, so tickets, bills of lading, and volumes get reconciled properly the first time, because billing and the client both rely on it
• Commercially minded: an empty tank reads to you as a phone call worth making, not just space on a truck
• Steady with clients, confirming details, delivering bad news early, and following up until the question is closed, with a tone that holds when someone is frustrated
• An early starter, because the day begins in the yard before the trucks roll and you are there for it

Required Qualifications

• Dispatch, logistics, or transportation coordination: 1 year minimum
• Strong written and verbal English language communication skills
• Comfortable with systems: dispatch and routing software, electronic logs, tank monitoring, and the everyday Microsoft tools (Excel, Word) and Teams
• Working knowledge of Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) requirements and hours of service rules, or willingness to obtain certification
• High attention to detail for accurate reconciliation and record keeping
• Available for early morning starts and on-call rotation
• Legally entitled to work in Canada

Preferred Qualifications & Experience

• Supervising or leading a team of drivers or operators: 1 year
• Experience in fuel and energy distribution industry, logistics, transport, or similar industrial services environment
• Class 1 licence, or hands-on familiarity with fuel truck operations
• Current TDG certification
• A combination of education and experience may be considered
