Security Design QA/QC & Technical Assurance Engineer - Security Systems / ULV / Telecom (CCTV, ACS)

Security Design QA/QC & Technical Assurance EngineerRole Overview

MUST HAVE DEMONSTRABLE EXPERIENCE IN TECHNICAL SECURITY SYSTEMS DESIGN INCLUDING CCTV, ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS (ACS), SECURITY INTEGRATION, AUTOCAD, AND BIM MODELLING.

The Security Design QA/QC & Technical Assurance Engineer is responsible for the independent technical review, quality assurance, and quality control of electronic security system designs, engineering deliverables, BIM models, drawings, programming matrices, integration documentation, and commissioning records throughout the project lifecycle.

This is a specialist security engineering role requiring extensive experience in complex electronic security systems rather than general ICT or IT engineering. The successful candidate will act as the technical authority for design quality, ensuring that all security solutions are fully coordinated, technically compliant, operationally effective, and aligned with project requirements and industry best practice.

A key responsibility of the role is the detailed review and validation of:

· Security design drawings

· AutoCAD and BIM deliverables

· CCTV system designs

· Access Control System (ACS) designs

· Security device schedules

· Security system schematics

· Points lists and I/O schedules

· Security system programming matrices

· Cause-and-effect matrices

· Security integration documentation

· Functional Design Specifications (FDS)

· Testing and commissioning documentation

· As-built records and handover packages

The successful candidate must have proven experience delivering or assuring security designs within highly complex and mission-critical environments, including:

· Data Centres

· Critical National Infrastructure (CNI)

· Utilities and Energy Facilities

· Airports and Transportation Infrastructure

· Government and Defence Facilities

· Large Commercial and Mixed-Use Developments

· Industrial and Manufacturing Facilities

The role will work closely with Security Design Engineers, Security Consultants, BIM Modellers, CAD Technicians, System Integrators, Commissioning Teams, and Clients to ensure all security systems are technically robust, coordinated, and fit for operational purpose.
