About the role
We have a brand-new opportunity for a Security Engineer to join our Manchester office.
The Hoare Lea security engineering team includes chartered engineers and professionally registered security professionals with an incredible wealth of experience across many industry sectors. We are a team of accredited experts, including Principal Members of the Register of Security Engineers and Specialists (RSES) and Members of the Security Institute. In an area where strong opinions are rife, we focus on objective, scientific and evidence-based solutions.
We work on many prestigious built environment projects, focused on delivering security strategies and technical designs aligned to the RIBA plan of works to support the aspirations of our clients.
Today’s world requires security to be considered an intrinsic part of a development and not an afterthought or add-on. We have the ability to design buildings so they’re as secure as possible right from the concept stage.
We view our work as a service rather than a product; supporting a building throughout its entire lifecycle and developing as technology and user expectations evolve.
Working alongside a range of specialist engineers and consultants, you will be joining a collaborative, knowledgeable, highly engaged team who love what they do, and offer a supportive, flexible, and high-performing work culture.
In this key and varied role, you can expect to:
* Assisting with client and stakeholder engagement to establish project security requirements.
* Developing threat and risk assessments and identifying associated security operational requirements that underpin the development of the technical security designs.
* Developing physical and electronic security solutions aligned to approved security strategies. This will include the production of technical specifications, engineering drawings and stage specific reports.
* Set up and manage job/project administrative systems, including planning and monitoring job resourcing/expenditure (adjusting these as necessary)
* Liaising with wider design teams to coordinate security requirements of projects.
* Attending client meetings as part of our delivery teams.
* Proactively participating as part of the Hoare Lea security engineering team in developing approaches to project delivery to support continued team growth.
About you
To be successful in this role you’ll need:
* An expected or achieved 2.1 degree in engineering or similar (a master's or other relevant postgraduate qualification is an advantage).
* A good working knowledge of engineering drawing and modelling tools such as CAD and REVIT.
* An understanding of the RIBA Plan of Work.
* Previous experience in a role within the built environment would be preferable (e.g. previous employment, work placement or work experience).
* A technical understanding of electronic security systems would be preferable.
* Excellent communication skills (written and oral).
* Ability to work in a fast-paced and demanding environment with tight deadlines.
* Ability to work in a team environment and independently.
* Able to achieve Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) before appointment and National Security Vetting at, as a minimum, SC level when in post.
