About our Vancouver Office
Located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, between the Pacific Ocean and the Coast Mountains, Teck’s Corporate Office sits in one of Canada’s most culturally diverse cities.
Surrounded by world-renowned nature and globally inspired cuisine, the office brings together many of Teck’s corporate functions - all working toward Teck’s purpose of providing the essential resources the world relies on.
Role Overview
Reporting to the Manager of Cyber Threat Prevention, the Technical Lead, Security Platforms designs, integrates, automates and sustains Teck’s enterprise security technology-stack while guiding colleagues in delivering reliable, effective and supportable platforms. This hands-on contract role supports enterprise IT, cloud and operational technology (OT) environments, protecting people, production, information and business continuity.
You will combine design and configuration work with day-to-day technical direction, peer review, coaching and complex escalation support. You will build and run the platforms that security operations and other service teams use to deliver security outcomes. Formal people management remains with the Manager; risk acceptance and budget approval also remain with designated leaders.
Success means healthy, resilient platforms, demonstrably effective controls, delivery against agreed priorities and maintainable capabilities supported by clear documentation and shared technical knowledge. Engineering decisions must respect safety, production and operational change requirements.
This is a one year contract position.

Responsibilities
Be a courageous safety leader by adhering to and promoting safety, environmental, and operational standards
Bring deep hands-on expertise in several of the categories below and the breadth to guide integration across the stack; expertise in every category is not expected. For category below, this role owns platform engineering and sustainment; separate teams own associated operational processes, tool usage, investigation of finding, prioritization and coordinating enterprise remediation.
- Exposure and Vulnerability Management platforms. Platforms for asset discovery, vulnerability and secure configuration assessment, external attack surface management, security posture ratings, remediation workflows, software distribution and patch management.
- Endpoint security. Endpoint protection platforms and endpoint and extended detection and response (EDR/XDR), including agent deployment, policy configuration, upgrades, compatibility and health monitoring.
- Security monitoring and automation. Log collection, security data pipelines, security information and event management (SIEM) and security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR), including telemetry quality, routing and ingestion reliability.
- Email security. Secure email gateways, phishing detection and awareness and simulation platforms, including mail-flow integration, email authentication and protective policy configuration.
- Cloud and AI security. Cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPP) and AI security platforms, including AI-related endpoint protection, integrations, policy implementation and platform monitoring.
- Cyber-physical and OT security. Industrial asset visibility, passive network monitoring and threat detection platforms, integrated with enterprise defensive services and deployed within site safety, vendor compatibility and maintenance constraints.
Key Accountabilities
- Design, configure, integrate and sustain security platforms, translating architecture and service requirements into tested, supportable solutions and clear technical acceptance criteria.
- Resolve complex platform and integration faults, lead technical restoration and root-cause improvements, and establish observability through platform health metrics, alerts, telemetry completeness and actionable service dashboards.
- Secure the security stack itself through hardened configurations, least-privilege administration, strong authentication, controlled service identities, secrets and certificate management, and auditable administrative access.
- Build maintainable automation and integrations using scripting, APIs and configuration-as-code, with version control, peer review, automated testing where practical and secure secrets handling.
- Guide colleagues through hands-on collaboration, design and configuration reviews, coaching and troubleshooting. Build shared technical knowledge, runbooks and primary/alternate coverage.
- Manage technical platform lifecycles: upgrades, capacity, supportability, licensing dependencies and retirement. Assess options and proofs of concept for effectiveness, interoperability, resilience, engineering effort and whole-life cost.
- Translate the requirements of security operations and other platform users into reliable configurations, connectors, agents and data flows, with agreed service interfaces and support expectations.
- Coordinate the engineering and sustainment backlog, balancing reliability, defects, technical debt and project delivery. Track dependencies, milestones and completion evidence, escalating priority or capacity conflicts to the Manager.
- Deliver controlled deployments and migrations with compatibility, capacity, failover and rollback testing. Maintain configuration backups and test platform recovery and restoration procedures within approved change windows.
- Partner with security operations, detection engineering and security validation teams on telemetry, approved response automation and control testing, turning findings and incidents into platform improvements.
- Work with IT and OT owners, architects and vendors to resolve dependencies and support issues, following safety and change requirements and escalating material risks to authorised decision-makers.
- Maintain implementation designs, configuration baselines, decision records and as-built documentation. Complete operational acceptance and handover with test evidence, runbooks, known limitations and knowledge transfer.
Initial Engagement Deliverables
- Establish a security-stack health and supportability baseline, documenting critical dependencies, technical coverage, reliability gaps and priority risks.
- Agree a prioritized engineering and sustainment backlog with the Manager, including owners, milestones, dependencies and acceptance criteria.
- Deliver agreed platform improvements with tested configurations, health monitoring, recovery evidence and operational documentation.
- Complete knowledge transfer and a maintainable handover of capabilities and outstanding commitments. Deliverable scope and dates will be agreed at engagement commencement.
Qualifications
- Degree in computer science, engineering, cybersecurity or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience. Advanced security engineering, cloud security, network security or industrial cybersecurity certifications are assets; demonstrated delivery expertise is essential.
- Registered Professional Engineering experience is an advantage
- Must have 10-15+ years of progressive technical experience, including substantial hands-on security engineering and at least 5 years leading complex enterprise security implementations or integrations at senior or principal level.
- Deep implementation and sustainment expertise in several security platform categories, with a record of reliable integrations, complex fault resolution and technical guidance across distributed hybrid environments.
- Strong foundations in identity, networking, operating systems, cloud architectures and telemetry; able to diagnose issues across authentication, endpoints, transport, APIs and data-processing layers.
- Demonstrated scripting, API integration, configuration-as-code, version control and testing skills, complemented by platform observability, secure administration and recovery practices.
- Experience delivering safe, controlled changes in availability-sensitive environments, including compatibility testing, rollback planning and operational acceptance.
- Ability to apply security architecture and control frameworks pragmatically, evaluate design trade-offs and validate effectiveness rather than rely on deployment status alone.
- Ability to coordinate technical delivery without line-management authority, balance sustainment with change, meet milestones and leave maintainable solutions and clear documentation.
- Credible technical leadership without positional authority; strong analytical judgment, collaborative problem solving and clear communication with engineers, vendors, operational stakeholders and senior leaders.
Desirable Experience
- Industrial or OT security platform experience, including passive monitoring, vendor compatibility and site maintenance constraints; mining or critical-infrastructure experience is an asset.
- Experience in designing and developing AI security capabilities. Specialist AI and OT expertise are desirable rather than prerequisites for every candidate.
- Professional proficiency in written and spoken Spanish.
Pay Range: CAD $null - $null per year
The actual amount offered is determined based on the successful candidate’s relevant experience, skills, and competencies and considers internal equity.
