Logistics Manager, Construction Materials

What to Expect

As Tesla’s Logistics Manager for a large industrial process facility, you will own inbound and onsite logistics execution supporting multiple refining facilities. Reporting to the Material Manager, you will orchestrate traffic, deliveries, heavy-haul moves, laydown flow, and material movement so the right equipment and commodities arrive, stage, and transfer owners without becoming the constraint. This is a high-accountability role for someone who thrives on complexity, controls the yard like a production system, and refuses to let logistics slow the field. If you can run a large-site logistics machine with precision and urgency, this role was built for you.

What You’ll Do

• Own day-to-day logistics operations for a large processing facility site, including inbound delivery coordination, gate/traffic flow, heavy-haul and oversized moves, and internal material transfers
• Plan and execute delivery schedules with Procurement, Warehouse, Construction, and Operations so critical path equipment and bulk commodities arrive in the right sequence with minimal congestion
• Manage laydown logistics and material movement plans, optimizing routes, crane/truck interfaces, and staging locations to protect productivity and safety
• Lead logistics coordinators, traffic control resources, and vendor/carrier interfaces with clear expectations for on-time performance, documentation, and issue escalation
• Resolve logistics constraints in real time — late carriers, access conflicts, incomplete paperwork, damaged freight, and competing site moves — before they impact construction or commissioning
• Maintain rigorous logistics tracking and reporting for the Material Manager, including delivery status, yard congestion risks, and upcoming heavy-lift/haul windows
• Enforce site logistics standards for safety, escort requirements, load securement checks, and compliance with Tesla site traffic and security protocols

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years of logistics, materials, or site logistics management experience on major industrial, refining, chemical, manufacturing, or large capital project sites
• Demonstrated ownership of high-volume inbound logistics and onsite material movement in a congested, multi-contractor environment
• Proven ability to coordinate carriers, heavy-haul vendors, warehouse/receiving, and construction demand signals into a reliable daily execution plan
• Strong expertise of laydown management, traffic control, oversized loads, and industrial site delivery constraints on major capital projects
• Exceptional organizer and communicator who can run multiple concurrent delivery and transfer workstreams without dropping details
• Data-driven operator comfortable with trackers, delivery schedules, and status reporting to materials leadership
• High energy, decisive, and relentlessly focused on keeping material flowing — logistics never becomes the reason the schedule slips
