DIMENSION

The role covers company-wide technical security and access control requirements for critical facilities, pipelines,

production locations, offices, marine and land logistics interfaces, export infrastructure and other high-risk operating

environments. It stewards security technology strategy, access control and visitor management, CCTV/surveillance,

alarms, monitoring, communications, systems integration, lifecycle assurance, vendor delivery, CAPEX/OPEX inputs

and compliance with applicable security, cyber and regulatory requirements. Current major technical security

projects delivered or ongoing include APIP P1 covering Gbaran, Soku and Nun-River; APIP P2 covering PHC-IA/RA; and

SSEP covering FOT, BOGT and EA export-security enhancements. Other technical security project phases are being

planned and should be updated as approved budget figures become available.

KEY CHALLENGES

· Sustaining reliable technical security and access control coverage across dispersed onshore, offshore, office, logistics, pipeline and export infrastructure locations exposed to dynamic security threats.

· Delivering and maintaining security systems in remote or difficult terrain where access, power, connectivity, spares and maintenance support may be constrained.

· Balancing risk reduction, cost control, project delivery, operational continuity and regulatory expectations in a cost-constrained environment with competing priorities.

· Keeping physical security systems resilient, cyber-aware, interoperable and fit for purpose as threats, technology, business needs and compliance obligations evolve.

· Coordinating multiple stakeholders, vendors, contractors and government interfaces while maintaining clear standards, assurance, accountability and timely issue escalation.

KEY DECISION

· Set technical security and access control requirements, standards and operating expectations within approved

company policies and delegated authority.

· Prioritise security technology interventions, maintenance actions and lifecycle improvements based on risk,

asset criticality, business impact and available resources.

· Approve technical inputs to project scopes, specifications, commissioning readiness, handover decisions and

transition-to-operate requirements.

· Recommend investment priorities, risk treatment options, vendor performance actions and budget trade-offs for

senior leadership approval where required.

· Escalate high-impact technical security risks, control failures, cyber/OT concerns, project delays, budget

exposures or incidents where consequences exceed delegated authority.

A bachelor’s degree in security management, risk management, engineering, information technology, computer science, criminology, business administration, social sciences or a related discipline; a relevant postgraduate qualification is an advantage.

Minimum of 15 years’ relevant industrial security experience in oil and gas, energy, critical infrastructure or

another high-risk environment, including senior-level responsibility for technical security or access control

delivery.

· Professional certification such as CPP, PSP, PCI, ISPS Code, Port Facility Security Officer, security risk

management, project management or equivalent technical security certification is desirable.

· Deep knowledge of technical security systems, including access control, visitor management, CCTV,

surveillance, alarms, monitoring, communications, systems integration, maintenance and lifecycle

optimisation.

· Strong understanding of upstream operations, critical infrastructure protection, technical security risk

assessment, threat and vulnerability analysis, layered control design and incident support.

· Experience leading security technology projects from concept, specification, procurement input and

implementation through testing, commissioning, handover and transition-to-operate.

· Experience managing vendors, contractors, service levels, maintenance obligations, project delivery, cost

control, CAPEX/OPEX stewardship and value assurance.

· Working knowledge of HSSE management systems, VPSHR, ISPS Code requirements, security governance,

cyber/OT interfaces, compliance assurance, investigations support and emergency response coordination.

· Strong people leadership, stakeholder engagement, executive communication, analytical reporting,
