@pierluigievrard
Security and Risk Advisor at WorkClear, integrating country-level security assessments into project execution and site readiness.
What I'm looking for
At WorkClear, I provide mission-by-mission, country-by-country security and risk assessments that feed into project execution control, with a focus on Africa and other less stable environments. I advise on how local conditions affect schedules, delivery, and site readiness.
At Base Toliara, I held site-level responsibility for security operations on a greenfield mineral-sands project in Madagascar. I directed a security workforce across two locations, maintained risk systems aligned with ISO 31000, and managed investigations, contractor oversight, and community and authority liaison.
As Project Security Manager for G4S at the Ambatovy Mining Project, I led a 950-person guard force across the mine, plant, camps, and town assets. I upgraded physical controls and security operations, reducing incidents by more than 70% versus the prior year.
My work also includes security and emergency-medical support on a construction programme in Somalia, and training and mentoring across U.S. Department of State peace-support programmes. I bring 13 years of French Army and French Foreign Legion service and 15+ years on U.S. Department of State programmes across 16 African countries.
