# Job Description Summary
As a member of the Global Transportation team, you will be part of an international organization that drives GE Aerospace’s transportation and logistics execution across a complex global supply chain. In this role, you will help ensure material and shipment flow support delivery commitments and customer requirements through disciplined, fast-paced transportation execution.
