Manage temporary storage and staging areas by allocating laydown space, maintaining custody and accountability of stored materials by project, enforcing classified and controlled-item handling requirements, and coordinating movement from storage to installation sites.
Receive, inspect, and document inbound materials against purchase orders and packing lists. Identify damage, shortages, and discrepancies and coordinate resolution with vendors and project leads.
Coordinate with WHCA facilities, base civil engineering, and construction contractors regarding building material and electrical deliveries, including permits, road closures, crane placement, and utility outages associated with deliveries.
Maintain accurate delivery and receiving records, including delivery dates, contents, inspections, custody transfers, incidents, and disposition, and ensure delivery status is maintained in the Task Force Raptor system of record.
Develop, implement, and enforce delivery standard operating procedures (SOPs) addressing security, safety, hazardous materials, OPSEC, and chain-of-custody requirements.
Brief vendors, project teams, and new personnel on delivery, receiving, security, and safety procedures.
Serve as the primary liaison among project leads, vendors, freight carriers, WHCA security and facilities, the U.S. Secret Service, and government logistics personnel.
Provide Task Force Raptor leadership with regular updates regarding delivery status, risks, scheduling conflicts, and logistical bottlenecks.
Manage government-furnished and contractor-acquired equipment accountability during the receiving-to-installation lifecycle using the designated asset management system.
