Job summary

Kiewit Nuclear Solutions seeks a senior technology leader to define and advance a secure-environment strategy supporting CMMC Level 2 and customer requirements. You’ll guide teams that implement secure enclaves, balancing compliance with practical delivery.

The role requires a deep understanding of secure enclaves, governance, and roadmapping across government and commercial programs, with high impact on future projects.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressive experience in cybersecurity, secure-environment architecture, IT infrastructure, compliance, technology risk, or a closely related field.
• Demonstrated experience designing, standing up, governing, or materially improving a secure enclave or controlled environment for CUI, export-controlled information, classified information, government programs, or similarly regulated work.
• Strong working knowledge of CMMC Level 2 and the ability to translate its requirements into a practical operating environment.
• Experience with CUI scoping, system boundaries, data-flow decisions, control ownership, System Security Plans, POA&Ms, audit evidence, and assessment readiness.
• Broad understanding of infrastructure, cloud/hybrid environments, identity and access management, endpoint security, network segmentation, application verification, logging, vulnerability management, and incident response.
• Ability to lead through influence across technical teams, business leaders, and external customers.
• Sound judgment on when a control is required, when a requirement can be met another way, and how to avoid over-engineering a solution.
• Bachelor’s degree in information technology, cybersecurity, engineering, computer science, or a related field; equivalent relevant experience will be considered.

Responsibilities

• Lead the strategy, requirements definition, and roadmap for secure technology environments supporting Kiewit’s businesses.
• Assess and optimize Kiewit’s existing secure environment, including the gap between commercial and secure operating models.
• Define fit-for-purpose CMMC Level 2-aligned secure-enclave requirements for systems, data, users, vendors, and project workflows.
• Challenge assumptions and prevent unnecessary systems, data, or processes from entering the enclave while maintaining compliance and customer confidence.
• Partner with business, technology, cybersecurity, infrastructure, application, legal/compliance, and project stakeholders to translate contract and regulatory requirements into executable solutions.
• Establish scalable architecture, governance, controls, and operating processes that support the business for the next five to 10 years.
• Develop a practical model for different work types, including highly regulated government work and commercial work requiring heightened controls but not necessarily CMMC Level 2.
• Guide technical implementation teams on identity and access management, data protection, network segmentation, infrastructure, application verification, monitoring, incident response, evidence, and ongoing compliance.
• Support customer and government-facing discussions by clearly explaining Kiewit’s secure-environment approach and compliance posture.
• Build the business case, priorities, and future team structure needed to sustain and expand the capability.
