Job Purpose To provide dedicated control of vehicle, mobile equipment, pedestrian and material movements within the Scrap Metal Section. The Coordinator serves as the section’s designated banksman and movement-control focal point, maintaining safe and orderly traffic flow as scrap deliveries, customer/seller vehicles, trucks, forklifts, material handlers/grabbers, stackers and other mobile equipment operate within the same work area. The role is intended to remain focused on movement control, communication, access coordination and hazard prevention. It should not be treated as a general labour position that performs banksman duties only when available.

• Maintain continuous communication with the Scrap Metal Supervisor, equipment operators, drivers, security/gate personnel and other relevant staff regarding planned and ongoing movements.
• Coordinate competing movement requests and establish a safe sequence of operations when multiple vehicles or machines require access to the same area.
• Immediately communicate abnormal conditions such as congestion, blocked routes, unsafe stacking affecting movement, spills, poor ground conditions, damaged barriers/signage or equipment defects observed during movement control.
• Participate in pre-shift or daily coordination discussions so expected deliveries, container movements, heavyequipment activities and unusual traffic can be planned in advance. Safety, Housekeeping and Compliance Monitoring
• Conduct a basic pre-shift check of traffic routes, pedestrian paths, barriers, cones, signage, lighting, visibility and designated unloading/loading areas.
• Ensure movement controls are maintained during wet weather, low-light conditions, congestion or changes to the normal site layout.
• Report and, where authorized, correct obstructions or housekeeping conditions that interfere with safe traffic flow.
• Ensure persons entering controlled operating areas comply with required PPE and site instructions.
