We are looking for a Security Account Manager to look after a prestigious client based in Yeovil. This is a permanent opportunity to lead a team of security professionals to deliver a seamlessservice to the client. Although this is a 24 hours site, you would only be required to work day time hours with the occasional check in on later shift team members or any urgent work. This opportunity would potentially suit someone who is either looking to take the next step in their security career, someone who steps in and helps out security management whilst their manager is out or someone already doing this role but wants a fresh start to the year with a new job. If your situation is different we still want to hear from you. Key Responsibilities: Lead, motivate, and manage a team of security officers to deliver outstanding security coverage. Develop, implement, and maintain security procedures and protocols in line with defence requirements. Oversee risk assessments, incident reports, and security audits, ensuring all documentation is accurate and up to date. Liaise with internal and external stakeholders, including site management and defence authorities. Ensure compliance with all relevant legislation, site regulations, and security standards. Manage staffing schedules, training, and performance of security personnel. Respond effectively to security incidents, coordinating investigations and follow-up actions. Required Skills & Experience: Proven experience managing security operations, ideally in a defence, military, or high security environment. Strong leadership and team management skills. Excellent understanding of security protocols, risk assessment, and incident management. Experience with security documentation, compliance, and reporting. Exceptional organisational and communication skills. Relevant security qualifications (e.g., SIA Licence). What We Offer: Competitive salary and benefits package. Opportunity to work in a critical, high-profile environment. Professional development and training opportunities. If you are a proactive, organised, and experienced security professional ready to take ownership of security operations at a defence site, we want to hear from you.
