Comprising the largest skilled-labor force in North America, our employees are highly skilled and innovative, continually working to connect people and power. We’re building the infrastructure that supports the energy transition, and there are more opportunities than ever to be part of our team. Join us and build your career building a brighter future.\nImagine what you could do here. We encourage, inspire, and support our people to seize opportunities in our corporate office and with hundreds of our operating companies worldwide that provide solutions for the utility, renewable energy, electric power, industrial, and communications industries.\nQuanta actively promotes and maintains a culture of belonging where all employees can be themselves, live their values, and find opportunities to succeed. When you join our team, you join a dynamic organization in which career development is encouraged, excellence is rewarded, and diversity is prized. Come find out how our people power modern life.\nAbout this Role\nThe Senior Manager, Security Engineering leads the team that designs, builds, and runs Quanta's security technology. This is a hands-on engineering leadership role. You will own the security platform stack and its integrations, drive the security engineering side of mergers and acquisitions, and set the technical direction your team builds against.\nQuanta is large and decentralized, with hundreds of operating companies and tens of thousands of endpoints across corporate and field locations. The role suits an engineer who can standardize, automate, and integrate security across many autonomous business units rather than one uniform estate.\nYou will lead a small team of security engineers and are expected to understand the major areas of security, including endpoint, network, identity, cloud, vulnerability management, and penetration testing. You will own the ones this role is accountable for, and guide the team and partner with the functions that own the rest. This is an engineering role focused on building and hardening security capability, not a monitoring or on-call operations role.\nThe role calls for strong hands-on engineering depth alongside the leadership skills to run a team and the communication skills to explain technical risk to executives.\nWhat You'll Do\nSecurity Platform Engineering\nOwn the security platform stack end to end. For each platform, design, deploy, configure, tune, upgrade, integrate, and eventually retire it, and keep ownership and documentation current. The stack covers endpoint protection, the SIEM and security data pipeline, security automation, email security, secure web and private access, PAM, and EPM.\nBuild and maintain the integrations that connect security platforms to one another and to enterprise systems, including API and connector development.\nEngineer and enforce cloud security controls on the approved cloud platforms, including guardrails, workload identity, logging, encryption, and prevention of public exposure.\nContinuously verify that deployed controls work as designed, and fix what does not.\nLead platform consolidation and migration programs, from selection and parallel run through cutover and decommissioning of legacy tooling.\nMergers, Acquisitions, and Integration\nLead the security engineering side of mergers and acquisitions, starting with pre-close technical due diligence of a target's identity, endpoint, network, and cloud posture.\nPlan and run post-close integration: onboard acquired environments onto enterprise security tooling and telemetry, consolidate tenants and domains, and sequence remediation of inherited exposure.\nSupport divestitures and carve-outs, including data segregation, access removal, and telemetry separation.\nStandardize security controls across newly acquired and existing operating companies, working with local IT leaders in a decentralized model.\nTechnical Leadership and Breadth\nLead, mentor, and develop a small team of security engineers, and own hiring, performance management, and career growth.\nProvide senior technical guidance across the adjacent domains the team works in, including identity security, vulnerability management, and penetration testing, partnering with the functions that own them.\nBuild and harden controls to the security architecture and standards set by the Security Architect, and provide engineering and feasibility input to design reviews and threat assessments.\nStay current on emerging technology relevant to the environment, including AI security, and guide how the team adopts and secures it.\nRemove single points of knowledge through documentation, cross-training, and clear platform ownership.\nVendors and Budget\nLead technical evaluation and selection of security platforms, and own the resulting vendor and provider relationships, including scope and service levels.\nNegotiate statements of work and licensing, and own the security engineering budget and forecast, including license planning and cost optimization.\nEstablish regular cadence to report engineering metrics to leadership, including platform and control coverage, platform health, and open engineering risk.\nAdheres to internal standards, policies and procedures.\nPerforms other duties as assigned.\nWhat You'll Bring\nRequired Education and Experience\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or a related field; or an equivalent combination of education and professional experience.\n8+ years in IT and cybersecurity, including at least 5 years hands-on in security engineering or security architecture.\n3+ years leading technical teams, including hiring and performance management.\nDemonstrated end-to-end ownership of enterprise security platforms at significant scale (tens of thousands of endpoints or equivalent complexity), including design, deployment, integration, tuning, and migration.\nHands-on depth with endpoint protection and enterprise SIEM platforms, including building integrations and managing the security data pipeline.\nExperience engineering cloud security controls on a major cloud platform (e.g., Microsoft Azure or AWS).\nExperience leading the security engineering side of mergers, acquisitions, or large-scale environment integrations.\nBroad understanding across the major areas of security, including endpoint, network, identity, cloud, vulnerability management, and penetration testing, with the depth to guide a team and partner with the functions that own the areas this role does not.\nAbility to communicate credibly with engineers and executives, and to translate technical risk into business decisions.\nPreferred Education and Experience\nMaster's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Systems, or an MBA.\nExperience in construction, utilities, energy, telecommunications, or another large, decentralized industry.\nHands-on experience with privileged access management and with secure web or private access platforms.\nScripting and API proficiency (e.g., Python, PowerShell, Microsoft Graph) for automation and integration.\nDeveloping experience with different AI platforms.\nExperience integrating many autonomous business units onto common security tooling.\nLICENSES / CERTIFICATIONS: Required Licenses/Certifications\nCertified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)Preferred Licenses/Certifications\nOne or more of the following certifications\nCertified Information Security Manager (CISM)\nMicrosoft Certified: Cybersecurity Architect Expert (SC-100) or Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP)\nAWS Certified Security Specialty\nGIAC Defensible Security Architecture (GDSA) or GIAC Certified Enterprise Defender (GCED)\nSUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES: Supervises others: YesHas hiring and terminating responsibilities: YesNumber of employees report to this job: 0 Subordinate Supervisory Employees, 3 to 6 Non-Supervisory Employees\nTRAVEL REQUIREMENTS: Travels: YesPercent of time: 15%Overnight required: OccasionallyLocation: Hybrid\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nAll qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment and will not be discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin or ancestry, sex (including gender, pregnancy, sexual orientation, and/or gender identity), age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, and/or any other basis protected by applicable federal, state or local law.We are an Equal Opportunity Employer, including disability and protected veteran status.
