Shipping and Packaging Lead

Air Comfort, Inc, Big Lake, MN, United States


Acucraft Fireplaces – Big Lake, MN

Acucraft Fireplaces is seeking a hands‑on Shipping & Packaging Supervisor to lead outbound operations for our custom‑built fireplace systems. This role is responsible for ensuring every product is packaged, protected, and delivered with a

white‑glove, luxury‑level experience —from our shop floor to the customer.

This is a shop‑floor leadership role, not a desk position. You will own how our product is received, handled, and experienced by the customer.

What You’ll Own

Oversee daily outbound shipments (LTL and full truckload)

Ensure all products are

properly crated, palletized, and protected

Develop and enforce

packaging standards that deliver both:

Maximum Protection

Clean, professional, high‑end presentation

Coordinate with production to ensure

complete and on‑time shipments

Verify

BOL accuracy, labeling, and special handling instructions

Inspect loads for

securement, stability, and weather protection

Train and lead team members on

precision packaging and handling

Anticipate and eliminate issues that create stress for the customer at delivery

You will be expected to think beyond shipping logistics and ensure:

Packaging is intuitive to unpack and does not create frustration

The shipment reflects the quality of a

premium, custom‑built product

Delivery does not create unnecessary burden on the customer or jobsite

What You Must Be Good At

Managing

multiple high‑value shipments simultaneously without errors

Building packaging that

survives real‑world handling (LTL especially)

Spotting risks before they become damage claims or customer complaintsl>

Holding a team accountable and maintaining high standards of execution on the floor

Required Experience

Hands‑on experience shipping

heavy, fragile, or custom‑built products

Strong working knowledge of:

Crating and palletizing

Load securement and protection

LTL and truckload shipping

Proven ability to stay organized in a

fast‑paced, detail‑heavy environment

Preferred

Manufacturing or high‑end custom fabrication environment

Experience reducing freight damage and improving customer delivery experience

This Role is NOT a Fit If You:

View shipping as “get it out the door” instead of customer experience

Prefer working behind a desk vs. being on the floor

Have only handled shipping paperwork without building or inspecting loads

Struggle with organization, urgency, or attention to detail

Avoid accountability when things go wrong

Why This Role Matters You own the final step before our product reaches the customer. Your work determines whether the delivery feels chaotic and stressful—or seamless and high‑end.
