• Valid driver’s license and ability to meet applicable background, driving-record, and site-access requirements.
• Ability to work on site and respond outside normal business hours when significant incidents require management presence.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building or scaling a security program across multiple locations or during construction and occupancy growth.
• Background in corporate security, federal or military law enforcement, emergency management, or large-scale protective operations.
