Job Summary:

Eggs Unlimited is a fast-growing, family-owned company headquartered in Irvine, California. As one of the largest egg companies in the U.S., we bring decades of experience across farming, procurement, logistics, and distribution. We are seeking an experienced, motivated, and detail-driven Freight Coordinator to join our fast-paced logistics team.
