Mission

The Inglewood facility is a TSA Certified Cargo Screening Facility (CCSF) — meaning the company itself is accountable for screening cargo that moves on passenger and cargo aircraft worldwide. The Cargo Screening Compliance Coordinator is the single accountable person at this branch who ensures every shipment leaving the facility is safe to fly, every screener is properly trained and documented, and every log, audit, and piece of evidence is ready when TSA or DHS walks through the door unannounced. In the hiring manager’s words: “It’s an anti-terrorism program that we’re running here — to make sure there are no explosives inside of these packages leaving.” The role exists because the facility’s CCSF status — and by extension, its ability to move cargo at all — depends on it.

Performance Objectives

30 Days — Onboarding & Calibration


  • Complete in-person training with supervisor (and as needed, other Compliance Coordinators) on-site at the Inglewood facility

  • Master the local DSA layout, screening equipment, CCTV system, and documentation chain

  • Meet and build working relationships with the branch operations manager, branch manager, screening supervisors, and screeners

  • Review the last 90 days of screening logs, audits, and airway bills to understand current baseline


60 Days — Independent Operation


  • Run daily cargo screening log checks and daily log-to-airway bill reconciliations

  • Monitor a minimum of 3 hours/day of random-period CCTV footage of cargo screening

  • Conduct 2 weekly unannounced inspections of each Designated Screening Area (DSA)

  • Coordinate the first monthly independent auditor review

  • Own the documentation file — ready for TSA/DHS inspection on any given day


90 Days — Full Ownership


  • Sole Compliance Coordinator for the Inglewood branch; corporate support via phone/email only

  • Verify every screener and screening supervisor is current on initial and recurring training, with proof available for TSA on demand

  • Conduct and document alarm resolutions (threat clearance procedures) with zero shortcuts

  • Hold the line on any shipment that cannot pass screening — regardless of dollar value or operations pressure


Ongoing


  • Maintain 100% compliance posture for unannounced TSA and DHS inspections

  • Enforce the 60-minute continuous x-ray image review rule for screeners (fatigue control)

  • Provide physical on-site monitoring of the DSA during any CCTV equipment failure

  • Surface alarms, equipment failures, and training gaps up to corporate before they become findings


Fit Traits

  • Backbone under pressure. Holds the line on a held shipment when the branch manager is in the doorway asking to release it. The hiring manager was explicit: “You cannot cross [the line]. You really have to have that fortitude.”

  • Self-regulating under low supervision. Works “alone on an island” with corporate peers available but not daily. No one is checking the daily log for you.

  • Documentation discipline. Treats logs, audit files, and training records as the mission — not paperwork. “Custodian of documents and logs.”

  • Mature corporate bearing. Stefan tied this directly to NCO experience: the ability to walk into a corporate setting and carry yourself professionally without losing the operational instinct.

  • Mission-first motivation. Compensation is fair but not top-of-market. The people who thrive here are looking for a sense of purpose, not a paycheck ceiling.




Requirements

  • Must have served in the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Space Force, U.S. Reserves, or U.S. National Guard.
  • Administrative acumen — Experience running logs, audits, documentation systems, or compliance programs (QA, Safety, Auditing experience preferred; military 3M/QA/Safety NCO background ideal)
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills — Ability to write reports, brief cross-functional teams, and communicate up-channel (inspection reports, maintenance briefs, operational summaries)
  • Ability to hold authority under pressure — Experience with stop-work authority, compliance enforcement, or safety oversight where you had to say "no" regardless of rank or financial pressure
  • Computer literacy — Proficiency with CCTV systems, log management software, Microsoft Office suite, email, and security/administrative systems
  • Federal regulatory environment comfort — Prior experience with IG inspections, command audits, regulatory visits, or federal compliance preferred (TSA/DHS regulatory knowledge trainable)

Note: This role specifically seeks prior-enlisted military with hands-on experience in quality assurance, safety programs, administrative oversight, or compliance management.
