Hoare Lea is a human-centric and planet-conscious engineering consultancy. We offer intelligent and sustainable solutions to complex design challenges for the built environment throughout the UK and further afield.

Security Our security consultancy group provides objective, evidence-based advice and practical design solutions. We do not take a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, we consider the risks, operational requirements and wider context of each project to develop proportionate and effective security strategies.

We provide support across all stages of the project lifecycle, offering a comprehensive and integrated approach that is aligned with the client's objectives and requirements. As part of Hoare Lea and the wider Tetra Tech group, we work across a broad range of sectors, to include but not limited to, healthcare, commercial, residential, education, science and research, defense, infrastructure, hospitality and the ever-developing mission critical sector.

Why work for us?

• Work alongside experienced security professionals and multidisciplinary design teams.
• Engage in innovative projects both through the wider Hoare Lea business and directly with the security group.
