The role is a key stakeholder for ensuring site customs compliance and procedures by working with the US Customs and Trade Compliance Team.

The incumbent maintains, enforces, and monitors security procedures as they relate to the secure handling and tracking of precious metals and regularly interacts with the site security team to maintain logistics security.

The incumbent also makes daily inspections of their department and equipment to ensure safe operating conditions and continuous equipment operation through preventative maintenance. Additionally, enabling the team to support safe operations through their daily work is maintained through appropriately supporting staff and safety meetings and departmental walk throughs.
