With the acquisition of Centamin in November 2024, AngloGold Ashanti acquired two exploration licences in Egypt’s highly prospective Eastern Desert.  The EDX Blocks comprise 1,389km2 of greenfield exploration tenements within the Egyptian section (Eastern Desert) of the Arabian Nubian Shield.
The area represents a significant land package of highly prospective but underexplored geological terrane. 
Reporting to the Security Coordinator, the successful candidate will be responsible for the following:

• Support the Security Coordinator in translating group security strategies into tactical and operational execution, integrating security management best practices into the GFX Egypt business model.
• Provide continuous, back-to-back on-ground security oversight (24/7/365) to protect people, assets, and reputation across remote exploration operations in the Eastern Desert.
• Mitigate localized security risks—specifically widespread illegal artisanal mining and associated criminality—by executing day-to-day security risk management protocols.
• Maintain critical stakeholder networks and resolve potential risks before they escalate into reactive threats.
• Build trust-based relationships with local community leaders, Bedouin authorities, and government security agencies.
• Ensure compliance with physical security standards, site access control, journey management, and emergency response protocols.
• Maintain sound grasp of in-country legislative requirements, security regulations, and human rights guidelines.
• Participate in emergency preparedness and maintain readiness for remote desert living and field environments.

 
Requirements:

• Minimum 3-5 years of security experience in mining, oil & gas, construction, or heavy industry, with practical field experience in security risk management and investigations.
• Strong working knowledge of physical security standards, site access control, journey management, and emergency response protocols.
• Practical understanding of remote desert security dynamics, including risks related to illegal artisanal mining and localized criminality.
• Demonstrated ability to build trust-based relationships with local community leaders, Bedouin authorities, and government security agencies.
• Sound grasp of in-country legislative requirements, security regulations, and human rights guidelines.
• Fluency in English and Arabic (spoken and written).
• Medically fit for remote desert living conditions with a willingness to undergo senior first-aid certification.
• Valid manual driver’s license.
