Job Description
BP Oman seeks to recruit and employ an Omani National into the position of Security Manager. The role is essential to ensure BP manages its security risks in relation to BP’s people, the environment, BP’s assets, and its reputation. The Security Manager will begin working with BP at a time when BP is undergoing a considerable increase in its presence in the country and therefore they will be expected to work in a fast-paced environment while handling changing priorities in a complex organisation. The Security Manager will not only have to direct high level strategy, but will also be expected to get involved in the detail of security implementation.

The candidate will start in the position of Deputy Security Manager, reporting to the current Security Manager, until a point whereby the Deputy has undertaken all necessary training and familiarisation with respect to Oil and Gas operations, health and safety processes, risk management methodologies and BP’s method of operation. The duration of this competency assurance period is likely to be one year. Once the candidate is able to take the role of the Security Manager, he will report to the BP Country Head for Oman and functionally to the Director of Security, Middle East.

It should be noted that the candidate must pass all necessary training courses and successfully complete the competency assurance period to retain a role with BP and to move into the Security Manager role.

The role is Muscat based with frequent travel to BP’s operational block, with resultant work and accommodation being in field conditions.
