After becoming a Department of the Army Civilian in 1990, he was assigned to Pueblo Chemical Depot (PCD), Colorado, as a Quality Assurance Specialist-Ammunition Surveillance (QASAS) and worked as a Safety Specialist and Environmental Protection Specialist there until 2000. He then served as the Ground Safety Specialist for the Army National Guard and was in charge of range safety at the National Guard Bureau Headquarters in Arlington, Virginia.

He began working for CMA in 2003 as a Safety and Occupational Health Manager, responsible for toxic chemical agent safety, explosives safety, industrial safety, occupational safety, and safety program management within CMA. From 2008 to 2021, Mr. Lott served as a Supervisory Chemical Stockpile Specialist, providing oversight, guidance and technical direction to storage site commanders and managers in the development and execution of CMA’s mission goals and objectives to facilitate safe and secure storage, transport and disposal of Treaty-declared chemical weapons.
