Security Project Manager - QA/QC & Automation

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 GSIS QA / QC governance and the automation program that scales the DEC practice. 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 change management and the exception process for the contract document set and deployed systems while building the automations, AI-assisted workflows, and internal tooling that reduce consultant and PM hours and drive global standards compliance. The ideal candidate is familiar with electronic security systems design, document control and QA governance, hands-on tool building (BIM add-ins, scripting, web utilities), and thrives in a fast-paced, multi-stakeholder environment.
