This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Oversee the 24/7 Security Desk operations, including scheduling, performance management, and daily direction of embedded security personnel.

• Manage and maintain Voltera’s nationwide physical security technology stack, which encompasses access control and badging, video management, and visitor management systems.

• Facilitate incident response, conduct investigations, and prepare post-incident reports for all locations.

• Supervise third-party physical security consulting projects, including scope management, deliverables, program design, and execution.

• Assess and enhance security coverage models as new and acquired locations become operational.

• Oversee security vendor budgets, invoicing, and the administration of Statements of Work (SOW) and Purchase Orders (PO).

• Develop and maintain security and Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) metrics, dashboards, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), reporting schedules, and escalation alerts.

• Issue and manage work orders related to security, safety, and environmental equipment through Voltera’s Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS).

• Coordinate facility repairs and monitor vendor Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for equipment maintenance, inspection, and repair.

• Manage the EHS vendor relationship and platform, converting technical guidelines into operational procedures across the nation.

• Ensure compliance with OSHA and relevant state/local workplace safety regulations.

• Oversee environmental compliance obligations involving hazardous materials, Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans, stormwater management, and environmental permits for charging equipment, battery storage, and backup power systems.

• Formulate emergency response, evacuation, and spill/hazardous materials response plans; lead staff training and drills.

• Direct safety and environmental incident reporting, investigations, corrective actions, audits, and risk assessments.

• Collaborate with Real Estate, Development, Construction, Facilities, Charging Operations, People Operations, Workplace, customer security teams, and Operations Program teams.

⛳️ Requirements

• 3-5+ years of experience in physical security operations, with EHS experience being a plus — ideally in a multi-site, nationwide commercial or industrial setting.

• Must have hands-on day-to-day experience with access control & badging systems, video management systems (VMS), and visitor management systems.

• Proven experience directly overseeing 24/7 security desk operations or similar functions, including managing embedded or outsourced staff.

• Comfortable and skilled in working with security-related technology; quick to adapt to new systems and platforms.

• Familiarity with OSHA and environmental compliance principles sufficient for managing an EHS vendor relationship and ensuring program execution; extensive technical EHS expertise is not necessary, as this is supported by an outsourced EHS partner.

• Experience in managing outsourced technical vendors or consultants and translating their recommendations into operational practices.

• Background in creating or managing reporting/data functions such as dashboards, KPIs, and regular status updates.

• Strong skills in vendor management, budgeting, and invoice reconciliation.

• Experience issuing and tracking work orders through a CMMS and collaborating with Facilities teams on repair requests resulting from security or EHS incidents.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication abilities, with the capacity to work cross-functionally and present to leadership.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and Google Workspace.

• Strong independent organizational and communication skills — able to operate with minimal daily oversight across a distributed nationwide team.

• Willingness to travel to various sites nationwide as necessary.
