Job description

Hate cubicles?

Good. So do we. (Not to mention the views from the top floor of the historic Frick Building in downtown Pittsburgh)

Can you effortlessly balance innovating and collaborating with others?

Awesome. That's exactly what we need!

Do you work best when you have a variety of responsibilities?

This would be an ideal environment for your ability to multi-task.

Are you a proactive problem solver who can be as decisive as you are meticulous?

Perfect. That is exactly what we're looking for on our team.

Take pride in the details, making sure that you have accurate and precise information?

This is the right role for you. We need your unique perspective!

Prefer to put in average effort in a slow-paced environment?

Elite is probably not for you!

As our owner Mike Johnson says: "F*CK AVERAGE, be LEGENDARY"

As a 3rd-Party Logistics company, we are in the business of matching our shipping partners with highly vetted carriers to push the supply chain forward and provide the exceptional level of customer service that we are known for. And in an industry as expansive as Logistics and a reputation that precedes us, the sky isn't a high enough limit for us.

Who we are:

Established in 2013 with 1 laptop on a kitchen table, our CEO and founder Mike Johnson saw what excellence in 3PL could look like and decided to make it a reality. Thus, Elite Transit Solutions came to be. Starting with our flagship office in Pittsburgh, PA, we have since had relentless growth which has led to the establishment of offices in Charlotte, NC, Chicago, IL, and most recently sunny Scottsdale, AZ.

We are unapologetically and distinctly Elite and it shows in all of our offices. So ask yourself:

- Do you want the comfort and freedom to wear jeans and play pool or ping pong during your work days?

- Do you want to sit side by side with your team mates and leader working on brokering and troubleshooting as a team?

- Do you want to celebrate wins, big or small, with an office full of likeminded people who share your goals?

- Do you see leadership in your future and want a team that will help add fuel to that fire?

Yes? Then ELITE is where you belong.

Join our team and find out what it means to be Distinctly Elite.
