Description
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Logistics & Expediting Manager owns inbound logistics, freight, and delivery scheduling for major equipment on Hut 8's data center builds - and expedites the critical-path items that decide whether we energize on time. Transformers, switchgear, generators, and chillers are the longest levers in the schedule; this role makes sure they show up when the site needs them, intact, with no surprises.
Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:
Logistics Planning & Heavy Haul
Own the inbound logistics plan for major equipment: transformers, MV/LV switchgear, generators, chillers, CDUs, and UPS systems. Plan heavy-haul routing and permits, escort and police coordination, bridge/road studies where needed, rigging and offload interfaces, and site delivery windows aligned to crane and laydown availability.
Vendor Expediting
Run structured expediting on critical-path POs: factory production milestone tracking, in-person or third-party factory visits, FAT scheduling coordination, and ship-date protection. Provide early warning the moment a vendor date is at risk - with a recovery option, not just the bad news.
Freight & Carrier Management
Select and manage freight forwarders, carriers, and heavy-haul specialists. Manage freight terms, insurance requirements, and OS&D claims; handle customs brokerage and import compliance for international equipment where applicable.
Delivery Scheduling & Site Coordination
Maintain the rolling delivery lookahead with the Materials Manager, superintendents, and planner/scheduler. Sequence deliveries against installation need dates and site constraints, and referee conflicts when multiple critical loads compete for the same window.
Issue Resolution
Resolve shipping damage, shortage, mis-delivery, and storage-in-transit issues fast, with clean documentation supporting claims and vendor accountability.
Reporting & Process
Report logistics status, risks, and expediting actions into the weekly project rhythm. Build Hut 8's logistics playbook: preferred carriers, routing lessons, and delivery requirements baked into future POs.
ABOUT YOU
What we're looking for:
- 5+ years in project logistics, traffic, or expediting for major capital projects - data center, power generation, oil & gas, or heavy industrial.
- Hands-on heavy-haul experience: permits, routing studies, escorts, and rigging interfaces for loads in the 100k-500k+ lb class.
- Vendor expediting depth: factory milestone tracking, FAT logistics, and holding OEMs accountable to ship dates.
- Freight commercial fluency: Incoterms, carrier contracts, cargo insurance, and claims.
- Customs/import experience for international equipment a plus.
- Strong scheduling instincts and comfort working directly against a P6-driven need-date list.
- Calm, solution-first operator when a load is stuck, damaged, or late.
- Proficiency with logistics tracking tools and Excel; ERP exposure a plus.
- Travel to factories, ports, and project sites as needed (typically 25-40%).
ABOUT THE WORK ENVIRONMENT
This role is in office at our corporate headquarters in the Brickell area of Miami, Florida.
About this role
Hut 8 is building data centers, and this role owns making sure the heaviest, longest-lead equipment arrives on schedule and in one piece. You'll manage inbound logistics for transformers, generators, switchgear, chillers, and UPS systems—the items that actually determine whether a project energizes on time. The work spans heavy-haul routing and permitting, vendor expediting to track factory milestones and protect ship dates, carrier selection and freight management, and real-time delivery sequencing against site constraints and crane availability. When something goes wrong—damage, shortage, delay—you diagnose it fast, document it cleanly, and drive resolution.
This calls for someone with at least five years in project logistics or expediting on major capital builds, ideally in data centers, power, or heavy industrial. You need hands-on experience with heavy loads in the 100k–500k+ pound range: permits, routing studies, escort coordination, and rigging interfaces. Vendor expediting should be second nature—factory visits, FAT scheduling, holding OEMs accountable. You're fluent in freight commercial terms, carrier contracts, and cargo insurance; international customs experience is a plus. Strong scheduling sense, comfort with P6 and Excel, and the calm to problem-solve under pressure round out the profile.
Expect 25–40% travel to factories, ports, and sites. The role is full-time and in-office at Hut 8's headquarters in St. Francisville, Louisiana.
