Who will you be working with?
As a Traffic Coordinator, you will collaborate with the Materials, Customs, Finance team, and Brokers. Your primary responsibility will be to ensure that all materials arriving at the borders are not delayed due to paperwork issues. You will also support internal customers by providing updates on the status of materials at the border and supplying necessary information to the Customs and Finance teams. Additionally, you will create a tax and customs budget and track all expenses to stay within this budget. As a member of the Field Services Americas team, you will help our customer (Ferromex) maintain their fleet of Wabtec locomotives by sourcing, negotiating, and procuring a wide range of indirect goods and services to support the overall business operations.
How will you make a difference?
As a Traffic Coordinator, you will oversee the coordination of importing and exporting materials once they arrive at the border. By ensuring the correct paperwork is in place, you will facilitate the swift movement of materials across the border, maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction.

Additionally, you will work closely with internal stakeholders to understand their needs, identify suitable suppliers, and manage the procurement process to ensure timely delivery and cost‑effective solutions.
