MAAX Load Diagrammer

Company Overview

American Bath Group is building a centralized shared-logistics truck-cubing capability that supports multiple plants, brands, and business units. This role sits within a specialized three-person team expected to support seven locations/brands and approximately 15 mapping streams.

The position is onsite, Monday-Friday, 7:30 AM-4:00 PM. The exact onsite location was not finalized in the approved internal role specification and should be confirmed before external posting.

The Opportunity

Truck cubing is currently distributed across multiple people. American Bath Group is consolidating this work into a focused team so truck plans can be created more consistently, capacity issues can be identified before loading, and other employees can return their attention to broader responsibilities.

The MAXXload Diagrammer turns order and load information into truck plans that can actually be executed at the dock. The work combines computer-based workflow, spatial reasoning, count reconciliation, practical loading judgment, and clear communication with logistics and plant stakeholders.

Success in Year One

• Executable accuracy: create diagrams loaders can execute front-to-back without material non-fit at the dock.
• Trailer utilization: identify unused capacity early enough to surface add-on opportunities and identify overfull loads before loading begins.
• Productive throughput: build toward sustained daily mapping output while maintaining accuracy. The confirmed near-term ramp target is approximately 20-25 maps per day on learned work after the first 30 days; a mature individual target has not yet been established.
• Cross-brand coverage: progress from the first assigned brand/process into additional mapping streams and become a flexible contributor across the centralized team.
• Translate load and order information from CMS, SAP, and AS400 into physically executable MAXXload truck plans. Reconcile product counts and configurations, arrange loads to use trailer space effectively, recognize non-fit or excess capacity before dock execution, and communicate those findings upstream.
• The role owns the accuracy and physical feasibility of the truck plan. Shipment-delay decisions remain with the appropriate commercial and logistics stakeholders.

Year One Critical Outcomes

• Truck diagrams reflect actual counts, loading constraints, sequencing, and physical fit so loaders are not discovering preventable problems during execution.
• Underutilized and overfull loads are identified before shipment, giving upstream teams time to add product or adjust the load.
• The diagrammer develops enough fluency to handle continuous daily cubing volume without trading accuracy for speed.
• The individual learns additional brands, products, customer rules, and loading patterns so work can move across the centralized team rather than remain in a single-brand silo.

Why This Role Is Hard

The work is repetitive in cadence but not simple in judgment. A typical day is centered on truck cubing across multiple data inputs, product types, customer rules, and shipment priorities. The diagrammer must stay accurate while handling mixed products, multi-stop sequencing, nesting, stacking, interlocking, Dixie cupping, skid loading, floor loading, and urgent requests.

• High daily volume creates pressure to move quickly without losing count or configuration discipline.
• A diagram must work physically, not just look correct on screen.
• Rules vary by product, customer, brand, and loading method, so learning and retention matter.
• The person must recognize exceptions and communicate capacity or non-fit issues before they become dock problems.

Leadership Profile

This is an execution-focused individual-contributor role. The strongest fit is someone who takes ownership of detailed work, learns operating rules quickly, and can sustain disciplined production throughout the day.

• Execution discipline: maintains focus and accuracy across an all-day mapping workload.
• Practical judgment: recognizes when a load is viable, underutilized, overfull, or requires escalation.
• Learning agility: absorbs product and loading-pattern knowledge and applies it independently.
• Accountability: checks work before release and surfaces uncertainty rather than passing it downstream.
• Team flexibility: cross-trains and shares workload across brands and plants.

Required capabilities

• Strong computer fluency across multi-input, system-based workflows. Prior MAXXload, SAP, CMS, or AS400 experience is not required.
• Strong spatial and visual reasoning - the ability to translate dimensions, combinations, sequence constraints, and loading rules into a workable physical trailer configuration.
• Detail and reconciliation discipline, including accurate count/configuration checks and mismatch detection.
• Self-directed learning: the ability to learn unfamiliar products and rules quickly, retain them, and apply them without ongoing micromanagement.

Helpful background

• Truck loading or hands-on manufacturing/logistics experience.
• Familiarity with multi-drop loads, stop sequencing, or ERP environments.
• Two to three years of manufacturing or adjacent operational experience can accelerate ramp, but the approved role specification does not establish it as mission-critical.

Why the Right Candidate Will Be Excited

This role offers a direct connection between analytical work and physical execution. The diagrams you create determine what can fit, what can ship, and what loaders can execute. You will build expertise across products, brands, loading patterns, and operating rules while becoming part of a small centralized team whose work is visible across the logistics network.

For someone who enjoys spatial problem solving, precise computer-based work, and seeing a plan translate into real-world execution, the role offers a clear learning curve and expanding cross-brand responsibility.

Why This Role Matters

A strong truck plan helps prevent product from being left behind after a customer expects it, reduces avoidable tear-down and reload work, improves visibility to trailer capacity, and gives logistics and commercial teams better information before a truck reaches the loading stage.

The broader objective is to make truck cubing a reliable centralized capability: accurate enough to protect customer commitments and labor, productive enough to absorb high daily volume, and flexible enough to support multiple ABG plants and brands.
