• Partner with site teams, trades, planners, engineers, contractors, regulators, and senior leadership to coordinate security initiatives; monitor system performance, report results, support business planning and budgeting, and evaluate emerging security technologies.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of progressive experience in security programs, regulatory compliance, governance, risk management, or operational assurance within a highly regulated or critical-infrastructure environment, such as nuclear, electricity, oil and gas, transportation, government, or defence.
• 3+ years of project or program leadership experience, managing scope, schedule, budget, quality, risks, approvals, commissioning/closeout, and multiple internal and external stakeholders—including operations, engineering, trades, contractors, and suppliers.
• Demonstrated ability to interpret regulatory and licensing requirements, identify compliance gaps, assess impacts, and lead corrective actions, condition reports, and corrective-action plans through to timely closure.
• Experience developing, implementing, and improving security or operational programs, governance frameworks, policies, standards, procedures, methodologies, and controls to support regulatory compliance and business objectives.
• Proven capability in conducting security, threat, risk, performance, and governance assessments; translating findings into practical recommendations that improve controls, system reliability, audit readiness, and operational effectiveness.
