Safety & Security Manager

Glenmont Job Corps Center | Lead With Confidence. Protect Our Community. Make an Impact.

Are you an experienced safety, security, military, or law enforcement professional ready to bring your leadership skills into a role with purpose?

Do you know how to stay calm under pressure, lead a team, investigate incidents, identify potential risks, and create an environment where people feel safe?

Glenmont Job Corps Center is looking for an experienced Safety & Security Manager to lead our Safety & Security Department.

This is more than a traditional security position.

As the Safety & Security Manager, you'll oversee the people, procedures, and programs that help keep our students, employees, visitors, buildings, and campus safe.

Think of this role as a combination of department leader, safety professional, investigator, trainer, problem-solver, and student advocate.

What Does the Safety & Security Manager Do?

Simply put:

You help keep the entire Center safe, prepared, and accountable.

You’ll lead our Safety & Security team while overseeing day-to-day security operations, accident prevention, incident response, investigations, OSHA compliance, safety inspections, visitor procedures, and student accountability.

You’ll also work closely with Center leadership and other departments to identify concerns before they become larger problems.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Lead the Safety & Security Team

You’ll supervise and manage employees within the Safety & Security Department.

That includes:

• Providing daily leadership and direction
• Coordinating staff schedules and coverage
• Training and developing employees
• Evaluating employee performance
• Recognizing strong performance
• Addressing performance concerns
• Participating in interviewing and hiring
• Handling appropriate corrective action
• Maintaining adequate coverage throughout the Center

Your goal is to develop a professional, dependable, well-trained team that knows how to respond appropriately when situations arise.

Oversee Center Safety & Security

You’ll help maintain a safe environment across the entire Glenmont Job Corps campus.

This includes:

• Conducting routine safety inspections
• Overseeing visitor access and security procedures
• Helping maintain student accountability
• Identifying safety concerns throughout buildings and grounds
• Identifying hazards before they lead to accidents
• Making sure safety concerns are documented and corrected
• Supporting OSHA and workplace safety requirements
• Overseeing the Center's Environmental Health Program

You’ll regularly ask: What could potentially go wrong here—and what can we do now to prevent it?

Investigate Incidents & Find Solutions

When an accident, safety concern, or serious incident occurs, you'll help determine what happened, why it happened, and what needs to happen next.

You'll:

• Conduct student and staff-related investigations
• Interview individuals involved in incidents
• Gather and review relevant information
• Document findings
• Complete required incident and accident reports
• Track follow-up actions
• Identify patterns or recurring concerns
• Recommend appropriate corrective or preventative measures

The goal isn't simply to document what happened.

It's to help prevent it from happening again.

Strong judgment, professionalism, confidentiality, and attention to detail are extremely important in this position.

Manage Safety Compliance & Reporting

This role also oversees important administrative and compliance responsibilities.

You’ll help ensure Glenmont Job Corps follows applicable Department of Labor, Job Corps, company, OSHA, and Center safety requirements.

Responsibilities include:

• Maintaining required safety documentation
• Coordinating OSHA compliance efforts
• Reviewing and analyzing safety and security data
• Managing Significant Incident Report follow-up
• Preparing required reports and annual safety plans
• Coordinating the Center Safety Committee
• Conducting and documenting safety and accident‑prevention training
• Ensuring required inspections and assessments are completed

Strong organization is important—you'll need to be comfortable balancing people leadership, campus operations, investigations, documentation, and deadlines.

Train Staff to Keep Safety Everyone's Responsibility

A strong safety program isn't built by one department.

You’ll help employees throughout the Center understand how they contribute to maintaining a safe environment.

You’ll conduct and coordinate training related to topics such as:

• Workplace safety
• Accident prevention
• Incident response
• Safety procedures
• Hazard awareness
• Center safety expectations
• OSHA‑related requirements

You’ll also help new Safety & Security employees understand their responsibilities and continue developing the skills of existing team members.

Safety at Job Corps Is Also About Our Students

Job Corps serves young adults who are working toward education, career training, independence, and employment.

That means this position requires more than enforcing rules.

You’ll help your team understand how to maintain safety while also treating students with respect, fairness, professionalism, and consistency.

You’ll help create an environment where students understand:

We care about your safety—and we also expect you to be accountable for your choices.

You’ll work with staff throughout the Center to appropriately respond to student concerns, behavioral situations, emergencies, and other issues that may affect the safety of the campus community.

Will Work Across the Entire Center

Safety touches every department.

You’ll regularly partner with Center leadership and teams across:

• Residential Living
• Counseling
• Career Technical Training
• Academics
• Health & Wellness
• Human Resources
• Facilities
• Recreation
• Student Services
• Career Preparation and Transition Services

Strong communication and collaboration are essential.

You’ll need to be someone who can listen, assess a situation, make sound decisions, communicate expectations clearly, and follow through.

Who Would Be Great in This Role?

This may be a great next step for someone with experience in:

• Safety or security management
• Law enforcement
• Military service
• Campus or school safety
• Security supervision
• Workplace or occupational safety
• Investigations
• Team leadership

You’ll especially thrive in this position if you:

• Stay calm and think clearly under pressure
• Are comfortable making difficult decisions
• Can lead and hold a team accountable
• Know how to investigate incidents objectively
• Understand the importance of documentation
• Can identify potential risks and develop solutions
• Communicate professionally with different personalities
