Team Leadership & Talent Development - Manage, develop, and mentor a team of field service technicians, engineers, and supervisors supporting physical security operations across the client’s branch environment. - Conduct performance reviews, establish individual development plans, and deliver ongoing training programs to ensure technical staff maintain required certifications and competencies. - Lead recruiting, hiring, and onboarding efforts for technical staff as the practice scales to meet evolving client demand. - Foster a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and technical excellence within the physical security practice.
