The position can be very demanding because you are on call and you will get called at night. Most of the positions are on a rotation of 4 on 4 off or some sort of swap with a partner for 12hr days 6-6 or 7-7. The days you don't work you are not on call. In this position you will gain large amounts of industry knowledge and have responsibility for multi million dollar accounts. The pay range usually for the logistics/scheduling analyst is 40-50k.
I will also post the job description. If there are any questions or would like to get in touch with my email is traditionspd@gmail.com .
Thanks and Gig'em
