  • Significant experience as a Security Engineer, Security Specialist, or Security Advisor within the built environment.
  • Background supporting highly secure, regulated, or high-containment facilities.
  • Strong understanding of physical, technical, and operational security design principles.
  • Experience conducting security risk assessments, threat analyses, and security assurance activities.
  • Demonstrable knowledge of Schedule 5 of the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001.
  • Demonstrable knowledge of ISO 19650-5:2020 and ISO 23234:2021 in relation to security and BIM/built assets.
  • Knowledge of the NPSA Surreptitious Threat Mitigation Process and its practical application.
  • Ability to explain complex security requirements clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, supporting sound decisions in high-consequence environments.
  • Membership of the Register of Security Engineers and Specialists (RSES), with expertise in Protection Against Forced Entry and/or Hostile Vehicle Mitigation.
