Recruiting across the Built Environment for Buro Happold in the UK
The Buro Happold Security group provide consultative services to clients in order to develop the built environment. We typically support our clients through security planning and strategy, physical security, security technologies and design, to ensure developments and their surroundings are safe, secure and functional. In addition, we provide advice in solution procurement and implementation during and beyond construction to provide clients with a comprehensive range of services.
Design of security systems and associated technologies goes beyond the conventional technologies of video surveillance, access control and alarm systems. As part of a considered and holistic design process we identify threats and risks to a project, then evaluate the requirements to eliminate or mitigate through informed and intelligent planning, coordination and design. Security technologies provide a means to monitor, control, analyse and automate activities in a building, allowing clients an enhanced level of situational awareness and the ability to manage and plan appropriately. Well designed and suitable security solutions can act as both a deterrent to certain behaviours, and to detect and provide an audit trail of activities when required. The increasing demand and expectation to live in safe and secure environments is driving new and emerging technologies, making this industry a highly valued and interesting sector to work within.
The team's project work spans multiple sectors including education, cultural, stadia, commercial, airports, mixed use and government. We work to support clients and design teams across the world.
We’re also active in research and development, in areas that improve our approach to design within the built environment. Examples of this include: building information modelling, SMART buildings and creation of bespoke software design tools. In order to maintain our position as a leading consultancy in this sector, it is vital to keep abreast of the latest emerging technologies and their potential benefits to our clients.
More About The Role...
To provide effective security system design, this role will require detailed coordination with related disciplines such as Fire, IT, Electrical, Architecture and numerous other parties. The successful candidate will work closely with both internal and external design teams to influence the design approach and ensure the final design functions to allow buildings to maximise not only security, but also simplicity and intuitive use, automation and consistency in operation.
Your daily responsibilities will be highly varied, but can typically be expected to comprise...
* Co-ordinating engineering delivery for a range of security projects
* Working with engineering disciplines and architects to ensure integrated design
* Preparing technical specifications and documentation
* Using software design tools
* Assuming project management responsibility
* Researching emerging technologies to employ in design
* Enhancing design processes and increasing automation
* Ensuring senior staff are kept informed of important and relevant service/design decisions and the objectives of the client are achieved.
* Continually ensuring that practices, policies, strategy and services represent the client’s best interests and that BH policy is in keeping with current legislation, British Standards and Codes of Practice etc.
* Inputting into and revising security project delivery standards and processes
* Actively working towards professional registration with a relevant institution
More About You...

* You will have been working in a design role, ideally with experience of the built environment.
* An understanding of the design process, specifically being able to identify critical factors and considerations in design.

What's in it for you...
In return, we can offer fantastic opportunities to...
Work on a global portfolio of projects with world-class architectural partners and design teams;
Collaborate in a truly multi-disciplinary environment, working alongside other specialist teams such as fire, IT, facades, lighting, sustainability, MEP et al.
Operate at the forefront of digital engineering technology in the AEC industry, using advanced BIM tools and potentially contributing to the development of security-specific computational design capabilities for the team.
A place for everyone
Buro Happold values an individual's flexible approaches to working patterns as an important part of how you work and achieve balance. We welcome applications from those who are seeking flexibility in their careers.
Our exceptional portfolio of projects is the result of the diversity of thought, identities, backgrounds, and experiences that shape us. Appreciating each other’s differences is key, we want employees to feel they don’t have to mask elements of their identity to thrive.
We are working to change the lack of representation of marginalised groups in the built environment. We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who feels they are underrepresented in the industry. We have much to learn from one another. Embracing differences allows us to develop the most innovative and elegant solutions.
Please let us know if there are any adjustments we could make to the application process to make it easier and more comfortable for you. Contact recruitment@burohappold.com so we can work with you to support you throughout your application.
