About the Role

This role provides critical operational leadership and oversight for the installation, service, and maintenance of physical security infrastructure across a designated geographic region. The Regional Security Principal ensures that all physical security technologies including access control (ACS), intrusion detection (IDS), and video management systems (VMS), are fully operational, compliant, and scalable to meet the needs of the business. The Regional Security Principle serves as the primary coordinator for security infrastructure, ensuring strict adherence to UL 2050 standards and meeting rigorous service response requirements. Beyond technical oversight, this role is responsible for the implementation and operability of emergency and crisis response equipment, such as radio communications, and plays a pivotal role in delivering emergency response training for incidents where the Security function serves as the Incident Commander. A champion of a proactive and preventative "safe & secure" culture, the Regional Security Principle ensures total compliance with internal physical security policies and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). By collecting and analyzing security business intelligence, the Regional Security Principle will drive data-driven decision-making and implement improved workflows to enhance the experience and safety of BAE Systems employees and contractors. As a Regional Security Principle, you will own the operational excellence and compliance of physical security infrastructure within your assigned region, acting as the bridge between strategic management and tactical execution.
