Some of you may not know Army Materiel Command’s Employee of the Quarter Paul Carter by name, but you have probably seen him throughout your time here on the Pueblo Chemical Depot (PCD).

Carter was recently honored as one of the AMC's Employee of the Quarter for the third Quarter 2022.

“It’s a great honor to be recognized for doing my job and setting the standards,” Carter said.

Carter was born in Bristol, Tennessee and graduated from Bristol High School in 1986. After graduation, he joined the Army as a 19D, Cavalry Scout, and spent the next 20 years traveling the world and retired in 2006. He was stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado during one of his many duty assignments and remembered it fondly. So, the next time he got stationed there, he and his family decided to make Colorado home.

Carter started his career at PCD in 2007 as a security guard and moved to the Training Office as a training instructor in 2010. After three years as an instructor, he was hired into the Chemical Surety Office in 2013.

With over 30 years of combined Army and Civilian government experience, Carter uses his knowledge of team building and leading in his daily mission of conducting systematic reviews of chemical surety programs to ensure effective applications of safety requirements that support the chemical surety mission.

His main focus as a compliance inspection specialist is the security aspect of the chemical surety program. He also conducts inspections of the offices assigned to the Department of Public Works and Chemical Operations Division.

While Carter’s main job on the depot is a compliance inspection specialist, he is also the Project Inclusion Manager for the installation.

“It was an honor to be selected by the commander as the lead for project inclusion,” Carter said. “At first, I was overwhelmed but I looked back at my experience and knew I could do it.”

When Carter is not out inspecting areas for his job, you can find him talking about Project Inclusion with the workforce or golfing around Colorado.
