Aviation Security Manager
Leads a team of 30+ · Full-time
Aviation security is a world where the small print matters and the stakes are high. We're after someone who thrives there, keeping a regulated operation compliant, sharp and one step ahead.
You'll own aviation security across the site: the policies, the screening, the audits, the incidents, and the relationships with the people who regulate us. You'll lead around 8 supervisors and a wider team of about 30.
What you'll do
- Keep us compliant with DfT, CAA and customer requirements
- Host CAA inspections and fix the root cause when audits flag something
- Oversee screening of staff, vehicles and in-flight supplies
- Run risk assessments, audits and incident investigations
- Manage, develop and get the best from the security team
Must have
- Hands-on X-ray screening experience in aviation (essential — it's a complex area)
- Proven aviation security management experience
- Strong grasp of the regulations and compliance
- Sharp report-writing and eye for detail
Nice to have
- In-Flight Supplies (IFS) experience — or strong aviation security knowledge in other disciplines
- An existing relationship with the CAA or DfT
