Job description

Security Commissioning Lead | Access Control & CCTV | Data Centre Construction | Europe

Are you a hands‑on security commissioning professional with a track record of driving complex electronic security systems through testing and acceptance on major construction programmes? This is a senior technical role at the sharp end of hyperscale data centre delivery across mainland Europe.

A specialist technology and security solutions business — operating at the top tier of the European data centre construction market — is looking for a Security Commissioning Lead to own the commissioning and technical handover of Access Control and CCTV systems across large‑scale, fast‑paced project environments. This is a permanent or fixed‑term engagement, project‑based, with travel across mainland Europe.

• You will be the technical focal point for all security commissioning activities on your assigned scope — from confirming installation readiness and developing test procedures, through point‑to‑point testing, functional and integrated systems testing, to witnessed client acceptance and final handover.
• You will coordinate installation teams, specialist vendors and client commissioning representatives, manage defect and punch‑list cycles to closure, and maintain live, evidence‑based commissioning records that give the wider project team clear sight of status at all times.
• You will be on site, holding installation teams and vendors to account, escalating blockers early and protecting commissioning milestones.

Experience Required

• Proven experience leading electronic security commissioning — Access Control and CCTV — on complex construction programmes, ideally within data centres, mission‑critical facilities or similarly demanding environments is essential.
• You will have a detailed working knowledge of Access Control architecture (controllers, readers, locking interfaces, door monitoring, field devices) and CCTV infrastructure (IP cameras, VMS/NVR platforms, recording, network connectivity).
• You understand IP networking as it applies to security systems, can read technical drawings, schematics and device schedules fluently, and have a disciplined approach to commissioning documentation, QA/QC and handover.
• Construction site experience in Europe is required, along with relevant safety tickets or site accreditations.
• Strong written and spoken English is essential; additional European languages are an advantage.

This is a business built specifically for the hyperscale and mission‑critical market — not a generalist contractor stretching into the space. You will work on technically demanding, high‑profile programmes alongside experienced peers, with genuine scope to shape how commissioning is delivered on major projects across the continent.
