Position:  Data Center Construction Security Campus Manager

Location:  Reno, Nevada

Position Overview:

The Construction Security Manager is responsible for the day-to-day security oversight of Fleet’s active data center construction environment in Reno, Nevada. This leader ensures construction security programs are executed consistently, vendors perform to Fleet standards and contractual requirements, and security processes support safe, compliant, and uninterrupted construction operations.

This role will oversee on-site construction security operations, including guarding services, security procedures, and response to security events across active jobsite and adjacent live environments. The Construction Security Manager will partner closely with Construction, Construction EHS, Fleet EHS, Operations, and other cross-functional stakeholders to identify security needs, protect critical infrastructure, audit security performance to contractual standards, and transition live spaces to Fleet Security Standards. The successful candidate will be a visible leader who drives accountability, strengthens security culture, and ensures security standards are followed across the project.

Job Responsibilities:

The Construction Security Manager will have responsibility for the following:

• Lead day-to-day construction security operations for the project, ensuring site security programs are executed in accordance with Fleet standards, contract requirements, and operational needs.
• Manage all security vendors, including on-site guarding services, and hold third-party partners accountable for performance, professionalism, reporting, staffing, training, and compliance with Fleet expectations and contractual obligations.
• Develop, implement, maintain, and improve security policies, post orders, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and other security processes required to support active construction operations.
• Partner closely with Construction, Construction EHS, Fleet EHS, Operations, Commissioning, and other internal stakeholders to support evolving security needs across the project and adjacent live spaces.
• Provide security oversight for higher-risk construction activities, including gate operations, material deliveries, equipment staging, laydown yards, temporary perimeter controls, hot work support, infrastructure protection, and other activities that present elevated security risk.
• Ensure construction personnel, contractors, vendors, and visitors are following required security measures, access rules, badging requirements, and site expectations, and drive corrective action when standards are not met.
• Respond to security incidents, alarms, protests, thefts, trespass events, and other jobsite events as needed, ensuring timely escalation, documentation, investigation support, and follow-through on corrective actions.
• Escalate security system and device issues to the Security Technical Program Manager, construction leadership, and third-party integrator to ensure prompt troubleshooting, repair, and restoration of security capabilities.
• Conduct routine inspections, audits, and quality checks of physical security controls, procedures, guard force performance, and contractual security requirements to identify gaps and drive continuous improvement.
• Support access control and badging processes, visitor management, vehicle and equipment screening, key control, patrol expectations, incident reporting, emergency response coordination, and turnover readiness for spaces transitioning to Fleet Security Standards.
• Maintain accurate records, logs, incident reports, audit results, and operational metrics, and provide regular updates to leadership regarding security posture, incidents, risks, compliance, and ongoing improvements.
• Promote a strong construction security culture through visible leadership, clear communication, training reinforcement, and disciplined execution of security standards.
• Build trusted working relationships with project leadership, local law enforcement, site leadership, and partner teams to ensure security is integrated into daily construction activity and long-term operational planning.
• Support investigations into security concerns, policy violations, theft, vandalism, workplace violence concerns, or operational issues, and ensure appropriate documentation and escalation to leadership.
• Identify security risks, process breakdowns, contractual gaps, or infrastructure vulnerabilities and make practical recommendations to improve protection, audit readiness, transition planning, and operational resilience.
• Maintains a safe, secure, and well-controlled construction environment with strong access control, guard force execution, incident response, and protection of personnel, materials, and infrastructure.
• Ensures construction security operations run reliably every day, including post orders, staffing coverage, gate operations, badging, patrols, delivery control, and alarm response.
• Builds strong partnerships with construction leadership, Construction EHS, Fleet EHS, Operations, vendors, and law enforcement so security supports project activity without slowing critical work.
• Identifies risks early and drives consistent follow-through on corrective actions, audits, investigations, standards enforcement, and compliance with contractual security measures.
• Creates a culture of accountability, professionalism, and readiness where teams are trained, procedures are followed, and spaces are transitioned to Fleet Security Standards in a controlled and well-documented manner.
• Continually raises the bar in construction security standards to deliver best-in-class security services through every phase of the project life cycle.

Operational Context:

This role is designed for a fast-moving data center construction environment where security operations must support active building activity, changing site conditions, contractor access, temporary controls, vendor presence, and phased turnover into live operations. The Construction Security Manager must be effective in balancing physical security, life safety, incident response, and construction support responsibilities while coordinating across internal teams, security vendors, EHS partners, and project leadership.

The role requires strong judgment in environments with evolving site conditions, changing operational demands, multiple stakeholder priorities, and overlapping construction and live-site risks. Success will depend on the ability to maintain a safe, secure, and well-run project, identify and escalate risks early, enforce standards consistently, audit performance against contractual requirements, and make practical decisions that support both construction progress and business continuity.

Basic Qualifications:

• Minimum 7+ years of progressive experience in physical security, security operations, critical infrastructure protection, construction security, law enforcement, military, or related fields.
• Minimum 3+ years of experience managing site-level security operations, construction security programs, vendor relationships, or guard force operations.
• Experience working in mission-critical construction, industrial, logistics, manufacturing, utility, or data center environments.
• Demonstrated experience developing and implementing security procedures, post orders, access controls, and operational response processes for active worksites.
• Experience responding to incidents, conducting investigations, and preparing clear written incident documentation.
• Strong working knowledge of physical security operations, access control, visitor management, incident response, infrastructure protection, and construction site security practices.
• Proven ability to manage third-party security vendors and drive accountability against service expectations.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams in a fast-paced operational environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting security operations at a data center construction site, critical infrastructure project, or other high-availability development environment.
• Familiarity with security systems such as access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, and alarm monitoring platforms.
• Experience overseeing security support for material movements, chain-of-custody processes, secure deliveries, equipment protection, and temporary perimeter controls.
• Experience partnering with construction teams, EHS teams, or operations teams to support day-to-day project needs and evolving business requirements.
• Knowledge of incident command, emergency response coordination, physical security risk assessment practices, and audit or compliance oversight in construction environments.
• Relevant industry certifications such as ASIS CPP, PSP, PCI, or equivalent are a plus.
