• Review the overall physical security posture, security operations, and physical security systems designed to deny and delay threats. This includes lock and key systems, access control procedures, electronic security systems designed to detect and assess intrusion, insider threat mitigation, and response force capabilities.

• Utilize expert knowledge of all aspects of risk management, security operations, and advanced security technologies.

• Minimum of 2 years of experience in physical security within a DoD environment.

• Demonstrated experience with DoD Security Directives, including their development and implementation across Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Joint DoD Security directives.
