Job description

Overview

I'm supporting my client on a nationally significant transport programme, seeking a Security Design Manager focused on the route-wide assets of the project. This includes assurance of security designs for elements such as track, tunnels, bridges and compounds, working with the supply chain to ensure compliance and integration across the network.

Responsibilities

• Act as the key interface between the client's Technical Services Directorate and the delivery teams, reviewing and assuring security design deliverables.
• Ensure security principles are embedded in the design from concept through to operation.

Experience and Qualifications

• Experience in critical national infrastructure is important, together with knowledge of the Department for Transport's Security in the Design of Stations guidance, physical security systems, blast mitigation and hostile vehicle mitigation.
• Comfortable assessing design submissions, identifying risks and engaging with stakeholders such as DfT Land Security, CPNI and the British Transport Police.
• Experience gained in major infrastructure or safety-critical sectors such as rail, aviation or defence, ideally with a background in security design assurance.
• Background could come from a key infrastructure sector, military, police or consultancy; the role is to oversee the assurance of the works to the standards, rather than carrying out design.
• This is not a IT or Cyber Security role. Relevant titles may include Security Assurance Engineers, Security and Continuity Planning Specialists, or others associated with physical security assets.

Security and Location

The successful candidate will be required to undergo UK Security Clearance (SC) as part of the appointment process. This is a hybrid role, with 3 days based out of offices or sites in the Birmingham or London region.
