Physical Security Engineer

As a Physical Security Engineer, you will be involved from start to finish in the advice and design of physical security solutions in complex specialist projects. You will thus help shape and improve the security solutions of buildings, installations, and organisations by using your expertise.

What you will do as Physical Security Engineer (MCF/ Data Centres)

As a Physical Security Engineer, you will play a key role in shaping and implementing integrated security strategies for our mission critical facility clients. You will work across strategic, tactical, and operational levels to ensure that security measures are not only effective but also aligned with broader organizational goals. This role is ideal for professionals with experience in physical security who are eager to grow within a knowledge-driven environment. Security for us means both protection against threats and preventing unsafe situations within the technical, organisational, and built environment.

Key responsibilities:

• Conduct risk analyses to identify strategic threats and inform long-term security planning;
• Translate strategic insights into tactical security policies, frameworks, and guidelines;
• Design operational security measures covering organisational, architectural/civil, and electronic (weak current/low voltage) security solutions tailored to specific risks and business processes;
• Collaborate with clients and internal teams to ensure seamless integration of security solutions, including alignment with system integrators and external advisory partners;
• Monitor, evaluate, and refine implemented measures to support continuous improvement, with execution support and implementation guidance as a strong plus.
