What you’ll do

In this role, you will lead and manage physical security operations across multiple critical infrastructure facilities, ensuring a safe, consistent, and effective security program. You will actively manage and develop site security personnel by partnering with local branch leadership to support recruiting, hiring, onboarding, training, coaching, and performance management, while ensuring all team members are treated with dignity and respect. You will drive safety as a core operational priority, implementing safety programs and initiatives with the goal of zero workplace injuries. You will plan, assign, and oversee physical security projects and daily operational tasks, evaluating the effectiveness of site security programs and recommending improvements where needed. You will set the standard for strong customer service and professional communication, holding site teams accountable to the same expectations. In partnership with the Regional Security Manager, you will monitor site health and key performance indicators, support unannounced audits, and strengthen overall team performance.

Additionally, you will engage regularly with clients and Securitas leadership through account reviews, security planning, assessments, and ongoing communication, ensuring leadership is informed of key accomplishments, risks, and concerns.

To apply for this role, you should have at least four years of experience in the security industry, including four years in a management role, along with an associate degree in Security Management, Business Management, or a related field.
