Job summary

Planate Management Group (PMG) seeks an experienced Mail Security Operations Specialist to support high-risk incoming mail operations for government and high-security facilities. You will advise on how mail is received, screened, isolated, opened when required, documented, and escalated.

Role requires extensive experience with X-ray imaging of parcels, development of screening SOPs, and coordination with federal agencies. Occasional travel and a potential TS clearance preference are expected.

• Hands-on experience with X-ray or equivalent imaging of letters and parcels.
• Experience leading or supervising mail-screening teams.
• Familiarity with GSA or OSAC mail-screening guidance.

• Help write mail-screening procedures for high-consequence sites: intake, visual and X-ray review, isolation, opening or confirmation, release or escalation.
• Advise on isolated-cell operations: PPE, chain of custody, evidence handling, and hoax-versus-hazard decisions.
• Support drills with security, facilities, and first-responder counterparts.
• Translate operator workflow into requirements for automated screening systems.
• Train client screeners and field technicians on suspicious-mail recognition and stop-work authority.
• Support paid pilots: site survey, acceptance testing, go-live, and early operations.
• Coordinate incident documentation with USSS, USPIS, FPS, local bomb squad, or equivalent as needed.
• Occasional travel to client sites and company locations.
