This role will be responsible for maintaining a secure, resilient environment across physical security, personnel safety, incident response and operational risk management. You will provide clear leadership to security teams, coordinate daily activities and ensure that policies, procedures and standards are consistently applied across all relevant sites and operations.
Key responsibilities will include managing security operations, control room activities, access control, surveillance systems, emergency response and incident investigations. You will assess threats and vulnerabilities, develop appropriate mitigation plans and maintain effective business continuity and crisis management arrangements. The role will also involve monitoring performance, reviewing incident trends, preparing management reports and recommending improvements to processes, technology and operational controls.

The successful candidate will have substantial experience managing security operations in a complex, fast-paced environment, together with a strong understanding of risk assessment, incident management and relevant security legislation or industry standards. Proven experience leading teams, managing third-party providers and implementing practical security improvements is essential. You should be confident making decisions under pressure, communicating with people at all levels and handling sensitive information with discretion. Strong organisational, analytical and report-writing skills are required, alongside a proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement. Professional security qualifications, emergency management training or experience with security technology and monitoring platforms would be advantageous. This is an opportunity to make a visible contribution to organisational resilience, safety and operational effectiveness.
