T1 Energy is bringing solar manufacturing back to the U.S. by building a domestic solar supply chain. Our mission is to invigorate America with scalable, reliable, and low-cost energy. Our fully operational 5GW solar module facility in Wilmer, Texas, can manufacture more than 20,000 modules every 24 hours. By the time you finish reading this paragraph, we will have produced two solar panels that will power American homes and fuel domestic AI. We're focused on building advanced American manufacturing and we're passionate about engineering a better future filled with abundant energy.
Position Summary
We are seeking a detail-oriented Freight Audit & Payment Analyst to review, audit, and process
transportation, warehousing, and logistics-related invoices supporting a large-scale solar
manufacturing operation. This high-volume role validates invoices against contracted rates,
tariffs, and service agreements before payment; identifies and resolves billing discrepancies
with carriers and vendors; and supports logistics spend reporting. Invoice scope spans ocean
freight, drayage, air freight, domestic transportation, 3PL warehousing, and accessorial charges.
Invoice Review & Approval
• Review and process a high weekly volume of invoices covering ocean freight, drayage,
air freight, domestic trucking, shuttle operations, and 3PL warehousing services.
• Validate freight charges against contracted rates, tariffs, fuel surcharge schedules, and
negotiated pricing agreements prior to approval.
• Audit detention, demurrage, per diem, chassis, storage, labor, and other accessorial
charges for accuracy and contractual validity.
• Verify invoice support documentation, including proof of delivery, rate confirmations,
container and BOL numbers, and accessorial backup.
• Work an exception-based audit queue, prioritizing high-dollar, aged, and out-of-tolerance
invoices while meeting approval cycle-time standards.
• Route approved invoices to Accounts Payable within established payment terms to avoid
late fees, service interruptions, and credit holds.
• Escalate invoices exceeding established approval thresholds to logistics leadership with
audit findings attached.
Discrepancy & Dispute Resolution
• Identify billing discrepancies, duplicate invoices, rating errors, and unauthorized
accessorials; work directly with carriers, freight forwarders, customs brokers, and 3PL
providers to resolve them.
• File and track overcharge claims and credits; maintain a dispute log with aging, status,
and recovery amounts.
• Flag recurring billing-error patterns by vendor and escalate systemic issues to logistics
leadership.
• Track vendor compliance with contractual pricing and report variances.
Reporting & Support
• Prepare weekly reporting on invoice volume, approval cycle time, audit savings, dispute
recovery, and accessorial spend trends.
• Support logistics accrual preparation and month-end close in partnership with Finance
and Accounts Payable.
• Maintain accurate cost coding by lane, mode, vendor, and business unit to support
landed-cost analysis.
• Provide spend data and audit findings to support carrier rate negotiations and contract
renewals as requested.
