About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Heavy Lift & Project Logistics Specialist to manage end-to-end logistics fulfillment for large-scale wind energy projects.

The role will be responsible for coordinating the movement of major wind turbine and other heavy equipment from origin/factory through international transportation, ports, customs clearance, inland transportation, and final project-site delivery.

The position requires someone who can work hands-on with oversized cargo, specialized transportation, multimodal logistics, customs procedures, route planning, port operations, and on-site project execution.

The role may involve frequent travel and extended deployment to project sites across assigned markets.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage end-to-end logistics solutions for oversized and heavy project cargo, from factory to final project site.
• Coordinate sea freight, land transportation, port loading/discharging, inland waterway transportation and other multimodal logistics activities.

• Manage cargo damage incidents and coordinate insurance claims when required.
• Monitor logistics budgets, costs and expenditures and identify opportunities for cost optimization.
• Maintain shipment tracking and provide regular logistics fulfillment and project performance reports.
• Resolve logistics emergencies involving transport delays, customs issues, equipment damage and site delivery challenges.

These responsibilities include the end-to-end project logistics, special transportation, customs and on-site coordination requirements specified in the original role description.
