• Deliver security risk assessments, security management plans, master planning, CPTED advice and protective security strategies
• Prepare concept and detailed design documentation, technical specifications, reports and tender deliverables
• Engage directly with clients, facilitate workshops and provide practical advice from early planning through to delivery

• Knowledge of electronic security systems including CCTV, access control, intrusion detection and intercoms, together with an understanding of physical security measures
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with confidence engaging clients and working across multidisciplinary project teams
• Australian citizenship, with the ability to obtain and maintain an Australian Government security clearance
• A relevant qualification in security risk management, security studies, engineering, communications or a related discipline, or equivalent industry experience
