This role is responsible for developing and implementing site personnel security arrangements at the SZC site inclusive of the Main Construction Area (MCA), Temporary Construction Area (TCA), Ancillary Construction Area (ACA) and Associated Developments (ADs). The role will lead the development of Personnel Security requirements, pre-employment checks and vetting integrated within Project onboarding capability. This includes establishment of Site Vetting Unit and Access Control capability paired with onboarding requirements. The role will deliver site Personnel security arrangements and assure that supply chain construction partners meet their Personnel security contractual obligations in line with regulatory requirements including Licence Condition 2 (LC2).

Contextual Information
Operating Environment
· The SZC project will be the largest infrastructure project in Europe following HPC. The provision of site security services will be dynamic and fast paced, with only key deliverables appearing on an integrated work schedule. This is due to the emerging nature of unplanned works that are created to support activities such as: engineering; technical quality assurance; civil construction; mechanical, electrical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (MEH); logistics; facilities management; and utilities provision – and the ever-changing site operations services. The ability to develop, re-prioritise and evolve the security service is a key deliverable in those circumstances.
· Rapid mobilisation of the SZC Site Security Team within Site Operations is required with an immediate focus on supporting Project onboarding, establishing the Security Service Provider (SSP) and Security Infrastructure Provider (SIP), interaction with construction suppliers, supporting contractor mobilisation to site, security operations and defining security infrastructure requirements for site enabling works and construction design.
· A critical challenge to the Site Vetting Unit, Access Control, Central Vetting Service and onboarding teams will be the scale of processing at Financial Investment Decision (FID) and at successive phases in the Integrated Works Schedule (IWS) where large cohorts of workforce arrive in one packet. SZC security will seek to mitigate this by seeking ONR (CNSS) permission to adopt the Limited Access Managed Service Worker (LAMS) model which was brokered by HPC project under ONR’s Security Assessment Principles. This will be paired with a workforce management system and the contractual obligation for delivery partners to use the same system and an approved Service Screening Company (SSC).
· Close working relationships with the SZC onboarding teams and EDF Technical Client Organisation Central Vetting Service, which will be a key resource and important relationship for delivery of effective and efficient Personnel Security throughout the Project lifecycle.
