Job description
Static guarding, security posts, access control, pedestrian and baggage screening and asset protection make up Qiddiya's fixed-site general security operating model, and this Senior Manager in Riyadh is accountable for all of it. Patrol tasking, rapid response, alarm response and security escorts belong to the Senior Manager, Mobile Security & Patrols, so documented handover and escalation arrangements between the two teams matter. Much of the work is translation, turning approved security requirements, MOSP controls, risk assessments and asset security plans into standard operating procedures, post orders, deployment plans and auditable records. General Security employees and contracted guard forces report through you, and providers are held to staffing levels, licenses, rosters, welfare standards and agreed KPIs. Changes to posts, shifts or contracted scope need formal assessment and authorization before they go ahead. Field inspections of posts, access points, screening operations and critical infrastructure are planned and documented, with non-conformances tracked to closure. New asset openings bring readiness work, from confirming post locations and staffing to rehearsals and mobilization acceptance before go-live, and stage-gate briefings call for your security input. When access breaches, screening failures or losses occur, you direct the fixed-site response and close incidents out with DSOC. At least 10 years in security operations with substantial management responsibility is required, and CPP, CSMP or PSP certification, along with Saudi Arabia, GCC or giga-project experience, is an advantage.
