With a focus on national security and economic resiliency, we serve critical industries such as defense, aerospace, and automotive powering a high-technology future. Vulcan Elements is building a team of ambitious professionals committed to Mission Focus, Technical Excellence and Integrity.\nAs the Security and Emergency Services Manager you will own physical security and emergency preparedness for Vulcan Elements manufacturing operations, based primarily at the Benson, NC facility with supporting responsibility for the Durham, NC R&D site. This is a build-it role: you will stand up the site security program as Benson comes online, establish the physical safeguards required for handling export-controlled technology and Controlled Unclassified Information, and create the emergency services program from the ground up - drills, response plans, an internal emergency response team, and working relationships with the fire, EMS, and law enforcement agencies who will show up when something goes wrong. This is a full-time, day shift, on-site position with on-call responsibility for after-hours incidents.\nResponsibilities\nPhysical Security Operations\nOwn physical security for the Benson manufacturing facility - perimeter, access control, intrusion detection, video surveillance, screening of visitors, alarm response, key and lock control - and provide the same program oversight to the Durham R&D site.\nAdminister the electronic access control and video management systems: credential issuance and revocation, access tiers by area and role, badge audits, and camera coverage that actually supports investigations rather than just recording.\nBuild and maintain the site security plan, post orders, and standard operating procedures, and keep them current as the facility, headcount, and process footprint change.\nRun the visitor, contractor, and vendor security program, including pre-arrival screening, escort requirements, and badge accountability.\nConduct risk and vulnerability assessments of facilities, equipment, and material flows; prioritize findings by likelihood and consequence and drive corrective actions to closure.\nLead internal investigations into theft, unauthorized access, policy violations, workplace threats, and other security incidents, producing documentation that holds up to legal and customer scrutiny.\nEstablish and document the physical protection safeguards necessary including maintaining visitor access records, visitor access badging, and controlling physical access devices.\nMaintain audit-ready records and be the site point of contact for customer, prime contractor, and government assessments of physical security.\nSupport future facility clearance or classified-work requirements if and as they arise, including readiness for the personnel and physical security obligations that accompany them.\nEmergency Services Program\nCreate and run the site emergency services program: emergency action plans meeting 29 CFR 1910.38, hazard-specific response procedures, and an Incident Command structure aligned with NIMS/ICS that people can execute under stress.\nBuild the drill and exercise calendar and lead it - evacuation and shelter-in-place drills, fire, medical, chemical release, severe weather, power and utility loss, and security threat scenarios - including tabletop exercises for site leadership.\nWrite the after-action reports that matter: document what failed, assign corrective actions, verify closure, and show the trend over time.\nOwn coordination with Benson Fire Department, Johnston County Emergency Management, EMS, and local law enforcement - pre-incident planning, facility familiarization walkthroughs, hazard and material disclosure, and joint exercises so responders know the building before they need to enter it.\nDevelop response procedures specific to rare-earth magnet manufacturing hazards, including combustible metal powder fires and the Class D extinguishing agents they require (NFPA 484), hydrogen and other compressed and flammable gases, high-temperature furnace and molten metal operations, and confined space rescue.\nMaintain and test emergency notification and mass communication systems, muster and accountability procedures, and emergency contact and call-out trees.\nManage the site crisis management plan and business continuity interfaces, aligned to recognized practice such as NFPA 1660, and keep leadership rehearsed in their roles.\nOwn emergency equipment readiness - AEDs, first aid and trauma supplies, eyewash and shower units, fire extinguishers and suppression systems, spill response materials - including inspection schedules and documentation.\nEmergency Response Team\nStand up, staff, and lead the site incident command and emergency response function, defining scope of response, member selection criteria, and the boundary between what the team handles and what waits for outside responders.\nBuild the training and qualification program for team members - first aid, CPR, and AED; incipient and, where scoped, structural fire response consistent with 29 CFR 1910.156; spill and hazardous material response consistent with 29 CFR 1910.120(q); and rescue - and keep certification and medical surveillance records current.\nEstablish medical response capability meeting 29 CFR 1910.151, including response time expectations and coordination with occupational health.\nSchedule and lead recurring hands-on team drills, equipment checks, and skills evaluations.\nGuard Force, Budget, and Vendor Management\nOwn the contract security force: scope of work, vendor selection, post coverage model, post orders, training requirements, performance metrics, and day-to-day accountability.\nManage staffing levels, coverage continuity, and cost, and hold the vendor to documented performance rather than headcount alone.\nBuild and manage the security and emergency services operating and capital budget, including justification for technology and staffing investments.\nManage service contracts for alarm monitoring, access control and video system maintenance, fire and life safety inspection, and emergency response equipment.\nRecruit, train, and develop any direct Vulcan Elements security staff as the function grows.\nCross-Functional Partnership\nWork with Engineering and Operations during facility expansion and new process introduction so security and emergency response are designed rather than retrofitted.\nPartner with HR on workplace violence prevention, threat assessment, background screening, and termination and access removal procedures.\nDeliver security and emergency preparedness training and onboarding content that employees remember and build supervisors ability to run their own area evacuations and accountability.\nReport security and emergency preparedness KPIs to leadership - incident and investigation trends, access control audit results, drill completion and performance, corrective action aging, guard force performance - and use them to direct where attention goes next.\nResponsibilities and tasks outlined are not exhaustive and may change as determined by the needs of the business.\nQualifications\nBachelor’s degree in criminal justice, security management, emergency management, or a related field, or equivalent education and/or experience.\n7+ years of progressive security experience, including at least 3 years leading security operations at a site level with responsibility for personnel, procedures, and vendor performance.\nDemonstrated experience managing a contract guard force, including post orders, scheduling, coverage, training, and performance management.\nHands-on administration of enterprise access control and video management platforms (for example LenelS2 OnGuard, Software House C•CURE 9000, Genetec Security Center, Avigilon, Milestone, Honeywell Pro-Watch), including credential management and video review for investigations.\nExperience developing emergency action and response plans, running drills and exercises, and coordinating directly with fire, EMS, and law enforcement agencies.\nProven incident investigation and case documentation capability, including interviews, evidence handling, and reports written for legal, insurance, or regulatory audiences.\nComfort operating with real authority and autonomy in a fast-moving environment where the program does not yet exist and must be built.\nStrong communication skills and the ability to build trust and credibility with the floor, with site leadership, and with outside agencies.\nCurrent first aid, CPR, and AED certification, or ability to obtain within 90 days.\nMust be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities.\nDesired Skills\nSecurity leadership experience in manufacturing, defense industrial base, pharmaceutical, or other critical infrastructure settings.\nLaw enforcement, military, or federal security background with supervisory or command experience.\nASIS certification (CPP, PSP, or PCI) or equivalent professional credential.\nFEMA ICS training (ICS-100/200 minimum; ICS-300/400 preferred) and NIMS familiarity.\nIndustrial fire brigade, HAZWOPER, technical rescue, or EMT/EMR training.\nFamiliarity with industrial hazards involving reactive or combustible metals, compressed and flammable gases, and high-temperature process equipment.\nNorth Carolina Private Protective Services licensure (security guard, private investigator, or firearms).\nExperience supporting facility clearance requirements under 32 CFR Part 117 (NISPOM) or serving as a Facility Security Officer.\nWorking knowledge of physical security requirements in a federally regulated or export-controlled environment - ITAR/EAR, CUI safeguarding under DFARS/NIST SP 800-171, or comparable federal security standards.\nWork Environment and Demands\nOn-site position with on-call availability for after-hours security and emergency incidents, including nights, weekends, and holidays as circumstances require.\nMust be able to perform activities including climbing ladders and stairs, lifting (up to 35 lbs), walking, standing for extended periods, balancing, and stooping.\nMust be able to wear required personal protective equipment, including the potential for respiratory protection and hearing protection and associated fit testing and medical clearance.\nWork is performed in both office and active manufacturing environments; the noise level in the work environment is usually moderate.\nMust be able to respond to emergencies on foot across the full facility footprint, including exterior areas in all weather conditions.","description_format":"text","description_chars":10624,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Advanced Materials","Metals & Metallurgy","Rare Earth Metals"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T21:34:09Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":232500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":71,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/vulcan-elements-security-emergency-services-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/vulcan-elements-security-emergency-services-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T18:28:21Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":28229,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":8041},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8041"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fvulcan-elements-security-emergency-services-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fvulcan-elements-security-emergency-services-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fvulcan-elements-security-emergency-services-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/vulcan-elements-security-emergency-services-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fvulcan-elements-security-emergency-services-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3485243}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"vulcanelements.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3485243},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
