Microchip has an opportunity for a Security Supervisor to join the Facilities Site Services team at our Fab 4 facility in Gresham, Oregon.

The Security Supervisor oversees daily operations for the facility’s security team. You will be responsible for implementing safety procedures, managing access control, and ensuring a secure environment for employees, visitors, and complex semiconductor manufacturing assets.

This role also holds secondary responsibility for managing third-party janitorial and landscaping contracts to maintain a clean, safe, and well-maintained campus environment.

Essential Functions

• Manage the Security Contractor to hire, train and supervise security officers; proactively assess contractor performance and ensure staffing and scheduling maintain 24/7 coverage.

• Oversee CCTV and alarm monitoring platforms; critically evaluate system outputs to identify threats, patterns, and opportunities for improvement.

• Conduct safety inspections, audits, and walk-throughs; synthesize findings into prioritized recommendations and drive corrective actions through to resolution.

• Must be familiar with DHS (Department of Homeland Security) requirements for chemical storage facilities.

• Serve as the primary liaison between security operations and senior management; exercise sound judgment in escalating incidents and communicating risk.

• Serve as the day-to-day liaison with janitorial and landscaping contractors; independently address performance issues and service gaps before they escalate.

• Monitor contractor performance against contract scope, schedule, and quality standards; identify deficiencies early and make informed decisions on corrective action.

• Collaborate with the Facilities Manager and Procurement team on contract renewals, bid evaluations, and scope changes; apply critical analysis to vendor proposals to balance cost, quality, and operational risk.

• Solve complex, non-routine problems by evaluating options, building cross-functional buy-in, and managing change with minimal operational disruption.

• Build and lead engaged teams by assessing strengths, closing gaps, and making deliberate decisions about structure, culture, and development.

• Evaluate employee performance and respond to issues with appropriately identified solutions.

• Diagnose performance challenges in others and implement development plans.
