What are the responsibilities and job description for the Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) Administrator position at Sandvik?
At Sandvik’s Rotary Drilling Division, we build rigs that operate around the world — and that global reach depends on the precise, compliant flow of components sourced from multiple countries. As a Foreign‑Trade Zone (FTZ) Administrator, you’ll help keep that movement seamless and fully aligned with U.S. Customs requirements.
This role supports day‑to‑day FTZ operations, ensures data and documentation accuracy, and partners across Logistics, Supply Chain, Operations, Finance/Tax, IT, and Compliance. It’s a great opportunity for someone who enjoys routine processes, thrives on accuracy, and values working in a regulated environment.
Internal candidates with the right aptitude and performance may be trained on FTZ‑specific activities. External candidates should bring related experience in trade, logistics, supply chain, or customs compliance.
Your Mission
Experience
This role blends office work with time on the manufacturing floor. You’ll engage directly with operations, maintain accurate FTZ records, and support a strong internal‑controls environment. Safety, integrity, and Zero Harm guide every aspect of what we do.
The job is initially 100% office-based to facilitate onboarding, though after six months a hybrid work arrangement of 1 day/week remote work is possible.
We offer a competitive compensation package along with a comprehensive benefits including health care, paid vacation, 401(k) with up to 8% company contribution, tuition reimbursement and career development opportunities.
