Material Handling, Security & Workplace Systems

• Own the material handling fleet (forklifts, telehandlers, lifts, cranes, hoists, tuggers) and rental relationships; ensure operator certifications and PMs are current.
• Own physical security and access control (badging, visitor parking, CCTV, alarms, fencing)
• Partner on facilities related workplace ticketing workflows.

Cross-Functional Collaboration
