About the position

Duties
As Senior Manager, Physical Security, you provide strategic leadership for integrating physical security across major capital projects and operations within the parliamentary precinct. You ensure security strategies, controls, and governance are risk‑informed, consistently applied, and aligned with parliamentary policies, directives, and standards.

You lead collaboration with internal partners, external agencies, consultants, and service providers to identify security gaps, drive mitigation strategies, and embed physical security throughout project design, construction, and operational readiness. You also provide strategic leadership, guidance and/or advice to Security Working Groups and governance forums, supporting informed decisions on zoning, access control, surveillance, intrusion detection, and perimeter security.

In addition, you oversee the implementation and continuous improvement of physical security policies, standards, and procedures, adapting to evolving threats. Through leadership of risk assessments and security strategy development, you help protect parliamentarians, staff, visitors, and critical infrastructure while balancing security, accessibility, and operational effectiveness.

Work environment
The Parliamentary Protective Service (PPS) is a separate and distinct organization not subject to the Public Service Employment Act. It has its own classification, compensation system, and staffing regime. Persons appointed to PPS continue to be part of the federal government and will receive the public service pension plan and public service insurance benefits plan.

What we offer:

Public service health, dental, and vision care insurance plans
35-hour standard work week
Minimum 4 weeks of paid vacation
Free on-site fitness facilities
Employee and Family Assistance Program
Flexible work schedules
Centrally located in downtown Ottawa

Important messages
Please visit PPS web site under Careers > Opportunities or at https://pps.parl.ca/ for guides that will help you prepare your application and for an interview.

We encourage veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces to self-identify when ing to our job opportunities.

We will only accept online applications received through the GC Employment website.

To submit your online application, you will first need to create an account on the GC Jobs website. Once your account is created, return to the job poster, and select the button " Online" below.
Candidates who are unable to online must contact the person listed below prior to the closing date.

All communication (screening, assessments, invitations, results) with applicants will be done by e-mail. Ensure that the e-mail address provided is valid, always functional and accepts messages from unknown users.

It is your responsibility, as a candidate, to clearly demonstrate how you meet each qualification (education, experience, and assets) by answering the screening questions in the online application.
You must provide concrete specific examples to illustrate how you meet each criterion identified in the questions.

Your answers must include where and how you obtained the required experience, as well as the period(s) in which you performed the functions of the position(s).

Candidates will not be solicited for incomplete or missing information.

Use the STAR method to provide clear and detailed examples:

S – Situation: Describe the context.
T – Task: Outline the objective.
A – Action: Explain what you did and how you did it.
R – Result: Highlight the outcome of your actions.

Please note that all answers (or cover letters) submitted must be original work. Plagiarism of any kind, including responses generated by AI, is strictly prohibited, and may result in disqualification from the application process.

Candidates are entitled to participate in the appointment process in the official language of their choice. Applicants are asked to indicate their preferred official language in their application.

Various assessment tools may be used to evaluate candidates during the selection process.

Depending on the number of applicants, volume management strategies may be used for the purpose of managing applications.

Candidates must meet the essential qualifications, including the linguistic requirement to be appointed to a position.

Relocation and travel expenses incurred during the recruitment and selection process are the applicant's responsibility.

Conditions of employment

All candidates must obtain both a Site Access Clearance and a PPS Enhanced Reliability Status with Top Secret clearance.

To initiate the PPS security screening process, candidates will be required to complete a personal history questionnaire, a pre-interview questionnaire, and undergo fingerprinting.

The security screening process involves a comprehensive background investigation to assess the candidate’s reliability, honesty, trustworthiness, loyalty to Canada and reliability as it relates to that loyalty. This security screening investigation includes, but is not limited to, a loyalty assessment, law enforcement verifications, financial verifications, internet inquiries, as well as personal and employment reference checks. Candidates will also be required to participate in a security screening interview, which will cover a range of topics relevant to assessing their overall reliability, honesty, trustworthiness, loyalty to Canada and reliability as it relates to that loyalty.

Candidates should be aware that participation in, or completion of, the recruitment process does not guarantee eligibility for a PPS security screening. Security screening is conducted as a separate process, and the outcome may be influenced by several factors, including the length of time an individual has resided in Canada and the resulting ability to verify required background information. Interactions with law enforcement, credit history, personal associations, and other relevant security considerations may also affect a candidate’s eligibility to be granted the required security screening level and may influence the time needed to complete the security screening process.

Candidates who do not meet the security screening requirements will not be granted the required security screening level and will therefore be removed from the hiring process as it is a condition of employment.
