The primary function is to own compliance, regulatory reporting, and product quality at Canal Terminal Company, and to identify and advise on the compliance and product risks present in terminal operations and in new business.

In new business, the position evaluates the regulatory and product risk presented by each opportunity and provides a documented recommendation to proceed or decline. The position defines the risks to be mitigated and provides them to the project management function, which determines how they are addressed in system design and project cost. Risk management discipline is critical in the position. The ability to identify, characterize, prioritize, and mitigate risk is applied across every accountability described below, and much of the resulting work is project oriented and managed as such.

This is a site resident position in Channahon, IL. Success depends on being present in the terminal to respond and react as events occur, and the position is expected to be available to the operation on that basis. Its accountabilities further depend on sustained physical presence and detailed working knowledge of all storage and handling operations for 39 tanks, with inbound and outbound modes of barge, rail, and truck, as well as packaging into totes and drums, and laboratory operations.

Success in this position is a terminal that is rarely surprised by itself. Regulatory obligations are met on time and without reminder, and the records behind them withstand agency and customer review. Compliance and quality issues are identified, investigated properly, and corrected in a way that keeps them from returning. New business is evaluated early enough so that commercial decisions are made with a clear understanding of what handling the product will actually require, which allows CTC to say yes with confidence. Over time, the measure of this role is that fewer problems arrive unannounced, and the ones that do are met by someone who already knows where to look.
