Security Supervisor, Balaena Tyne
Are you someone living local to Hebburn who takes pride in doing a job well?
We’re looking for a Security Supervisor who cares about the people, place and standards around them, someone who will take ownership, lead by example and help keep our site safe, organised and welcoming.
This is a hands-on role where no two days are quite the same. You’ll support the Head of Security with the day-to-day running of the team, oversee patrols and gatehouse activity, respond calmly to incidents, keep clear records and make sure our security standards are delivered professionally and consistently.
Who are we?
With a combined workforce of over 2,000 employees and operations spanning Gibraltar, Padstow, Tyne, Birkenhead, and Falmouth, Balaena is one of the UK’s most dynamic and regionally anchored maritime groups - combining industrial agility, innovation, and community partnership to support national resilience, commercial competitiveness, and sustainability across both naval and merchant ship sectors.
The integration of Balaena’s modern facilities in Gibraltar and Padstow with APCL’s infrastructure on Tyne, Birkenhead and Falmouth create one of the world’s most capable ship repair and shipbuilding groups - with a network of 12 dry docks and strategic reach across the UK and the Mediterranean.
We respond quickly to defence and commercial requirements and deliver consistent quality and reliability to clients worldwide.
Using in-house capabilities to maintain tight project control we work closely together with our customers to deliver what they need, as they need it, when they need it.
And what will you do?
Your team will be the first and last people that anyone entering and leaving our facility meet with, so as the Security Supervisor you will assist the Head of Security with the day-to-day supervision of the Security team to ensure they provide a proactive, comprehensive and customer-focused security service.
