About You and The Role 

Zipline’s maintenance hubs depend on parts, tools, and operational assets arriving where they are needed, with accurate records and traceability. As a Logistics Specialist, you will own the material and asset flow that enables safe, efficient maintenance operations.

You will partner with maintenance, fleet operations, quality, supply chain, and transportation teams. Success means reliable material availability, accurate inventory and asset records, compliant hub vehicles, and fewer avoidable maintenance delays.

What You'll Do 
  • Receive, inspect, and process inbound components, consumables, and tools; verify shipments against purchase orders, packing lists, and engineering documentation.
  • Maintain inventory accuracy through disciplined ERP transactions, cycle counts, discrepancy investigations, corrective actions, traceability, and configuration control.
  • Kit, stage, replenish, and deliver materials and tooling to maintenance cells and work centers to support daily maintenance execution.
  • Manage inventory, asset accountability, replenishment needs, and equipment movement for Zipping Point operations across sites.
  • Own maintenance-hub vehicle readiness through registration, compliance records, preventive maintenance scheduling, repair coordination, fuel-card reconciliation, utilization reporting, and disposition recommendations.
  • Coordinate outbound and expedited shipments, including packaging, documentation, carrier scheduling, and transportation-provider communication.
  • Improve inventory accuracy, material flow, fleet utilization, and operating procedures through data-driven problem solving, system testing, and process rollouts.
What You'll Bring
  • 3–5 years of experience in logistics, inventory management, fleet operations, supply chain, manufacturing, aviation maintenance, or a related operational environment.
  • Hands-on experience using ERP, inventory-management, or asset-tracking systems to maintain accurate records and resolve inventory discrepancies.
  • Working knowledge of inventory traceability, configuration control, quality processes, and material-handling practices.
  • Working knowledge of fleet management, vehicle maintenance scheduling, vendor coordination, and compliance documentation.
  • Experience partnering with maintenance, operations, quality, supply chain, and transportation stakeholders.
  • Ability to independently prioritize multiple live operational needs and make sound tradeoffs between availability, accuracy, cost, compliance, and maintenance continuity.
  • Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and work on your feet for extended periods; forklift certification or material-handling equipment experience is preferred.
