Job description

PHYSICAL SECURITY MANAGER

Mather, California | On-site | 20-25% Travel

Own and shape the physical security function for a growing ITAD and electronics recycling operation.

This is a high-visibility, hands-on role for a security professional who can take ownership of physical security across facilities, strengthen compliance, and ensure people, assets and secure chain-of-custody processes are protected.

You'll act as the Physical Security SME, owning the programme across the organisation and working closely with Operations, IT, HR and Compliance.

Key responsibilities include:

• Own physical security across facilities, including CCTV, access control, alarms, visitor management and secure zones.
• Lead NAID AAA, R2v3 and related audit readiness, including customer/third-party audits, surveillance audits and corrective actions.
• Conduct site assessments, identify security gaps and implement improvements across a multi-site environment.
• Manage physical security incidents, investigations, access permissions and chain-of-custody controls.
• Develop and deliver employee security training and awareness programmes.
• Maintain security policies, procedures and documentation to withstand external audit scrutiny.
• Manage security vendors, equipment maintenance and system upgrades.
• Travel approximately 20-25% to conduct site assessments, audits, training and incident-response support.

This is an opportunity to build and influence a physical security programme, rather than simply maintain an existing operation.

You'll have direct visibility with leadership and the opportunity to make a tangible impact across security, compliance and operational standards within a business contributing to a more sustainable technology lifecycle.

We're looking for:

• 5+ years' progressive experience in physical security, security operations, loss prevention or a related field.
• Strong experience managing CCTV, access control, alarms and security vendors/integrators.
• Proven experience with audits, compliance, policies and corrective actions.
• Experience with NAID AAA and/or R2v3 strongly preferred.
• ITAD, electronics recycling, data destruction, logistics or similar industry experience highly desirable.
• Strong understanding of chain of custody and secure material handling.
• Experience developing and delivering security training.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience.
• 20-25% travel flexibility.
• PSP, CPP or equivalent certification is a plus.

Location: Mather, California
Working environment: Primarily on-site, with regular presence across warehouse/operational areas.
