The Opportunity

Titan Mid-Atlantic is seeking a well-rounded Terminal Manager to lead a high-volume, rail-served cement distribution facility in Castle Hayne, NC.

This role is accountable for the full performance of the terminal—safety, service, cost, reliability, and people. It is neither a desk-only management role nor a purely field-based role. Success requires a leader who can move effectively between the floor and the office: driving execution in the operation while managing the administrative, financial, and compliance responsibilities that support a well-run site.

The Terminal Manager leads a stand-alone operation with no co-located functional support and is expected to deliver results by independently prioritizing work and leveraging internal and external resources, including contractor support, to meet operational and business objectives.
