Within a water management organization, physical security is a crucial part of an internal program focused on resilience. As part of the vital infrastructure, the organization is responsible for demonstrably having in order, maintaining, and securing the physical security of its locations and critical facilities. Security plans and an overarching Plan of Approach have been drawn up; the phase from planning to implementation has now begun.
For the implementation, a physical security project organization has been established, which realizes and secures the physical security of the head office and critical assets in accordance with the normative framework and the OBW principles (Design, Existence, Operation).
What you will do. As a project manager, you are responsible for the integral execution of the project and for realizing the objectives within the agreed scope, time, budget, and quality. You form the linchpin between the executing workstreams (governance, normative framework, technology/suppliers, and management) and the line organization (management/operations). You ensure progress and control: the project must be able to deliver quickly, but demonstrably and verifiably, fitting within OBW.
