Job Overview

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly experienced Physical Security Project Manager (SPM) who has passion to lead the delivery of physical security systems for new office and facility builds, and who will also own the GSIS risk, threat analysis and protective services program strategy. This role will serve as primary point of coordination across internal teams, vendors, and construction partners to ensure systems are implemented on time, on budget, and aligned with GSIS standards.

The SPM will manage the complete project lifecycle from project inception through operational handover, and will own the site / risk assessment methodology, recurring red team and physical sweep programs, and the protective-design / CPTED strategy that drive the design and construction approach for every new build, MAC, and existing-site audit.
