(PSR) Filton Operational Security Lead
We are seeking an experienced Operational Security Lead to support a complex, high-value site in Filton. This role will provide visible, day-to-day leadership for physical security operations, ensuring that people, assets, information and facilities are protected in line with regulatory, contractual and organisational requirements. You will act as the key point of contact for security matters on site, working closely with operational teams, facilities, engineering, supply chain and external partners to maintain a safe and resilient working environment.
Your responsibilities will include developing and implementing site security procedures, overseeing guarding and access-control arrangements, managing security incidents and investigations, and ensuring appropriate emergency and business-continuity plans are in place. You will monitor performance against agreed standards, conduct risk assessments and compliance reviews, identify areas for improvement, and provide clear reports and recommendations to senior stakeholders. The role will also involve coordinating security awareness activity, supporting audits, managing contractors and contributing to the delivery of security projects, including improvements to surveillance, visitor management and protective systems.
Applicants should have substantial experience in operational, corporate or protective security, ideally within a regulated, industrial, engineering, defence, infrastructure or similarly complex environment. A strong understanding of risk management, incident response, physical security controls and relevant legislation is essential. You will need excellent communication and influencing skills, sound judgement, and the ability to remain calm and decisive during challenging situations. Experience leading teams or security service providers, managing budgets or contracts, and working with law-enforcement or emergency services would be advantageous. Professional security qualifications or membership of a recognised security body are desirable. The successful candidate must be organised, discreet and proactive, with the credibility to build effective relationships at all levels and the flexibility to respond to operational requirements.
