Job Description

The Physical Security Technical Project Manager (TPM) leads the end-to-end delivery of safety and security system projects, ensuring they are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards. Acting as the central point of coordination, the TPM drives project planning, execution, and stakeholder engagement—overseeing everything from initial scope definition to final handover.

• Manage implementation of safety and security systems, ensuring quality and compliance (including VMS, access control, video analytics, and integrated safety systems).
• Coordinate internal teams, third parties, and client stakeholders across sites.
• Monitor progress, budget, risks, and quality throughout the lifecycle.
• Handle scope changes, resource shifts, and unforeseen issues with structured change control.
• Deliver successful handover with stakeholder sign‑off.
• Lead post‑project reviews to capture lessons learned and drive continuous improvement.

Qualifications

• Proven experience delivering complex Safety & Security infrastructure projects across multiple sites or regions, including within critical infrastructure, retail, commercial, or data centre environments.
• Demonstrated experience with the design, integration, and deployment of physical security systems, including Genetec, Lenel, and other Video Management Systems (VMS).
• Effective stakeholder management, engaging clients, end‑users, subcontractors, and technical vendors to align scope, budget, and timelines.
• Proficient in project management tools such as Microsoft Project, Primavera, Jira, or Asana, and capable of producing detailed project documentation including PID’s, Programmes, RAID logs, and stakeholder communication plans.
• Skilled in project delivery methodologies, including Waterfall, Agile, and Hybrid approaches, with the ability to tailor strategies to suit the safety and security programme lifecycle.
• Competent in risk management, quality assurance, and change control processes, particularly within security‑sensitive environments.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and negotiation skills, with a proven ability to lead cross‑functional teams, drive accountability, and resolve conflicts effectively.
• Strong organisational and time‑management abilities, capable of managing multiple concurrent workstreams while maintaining focus on detail and compliance with cross‑functional teams.
• Commitment to continuous professional development, with a passion for staying current with emerging security technologies and best practices.

Desirable Skills and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Engineering, Project Management, or a related technical field. A recognised project management certification such as PMP, PRINCE2, or APM PMQ is highly desirable.
• Hands‑on involvement in POS integration, video analytics, facial recognition software, access control, intrusion detection, and CCTV surveillance technologies.
• Familiarity with safety system design and compliance requirements, such as emergency notification systems, mass communication platforms, and relevant H & S and life safety standards.
• Strong understanding of cyber‑physical security risks, secure network architectures, and working alongside IT and InfoSec teams to ensure system resilience.

Benefits

• Generous holiday entitlement.
• Contributory pension scheme.
• Healthcare and wellbeing programmes.
• Professional development and training opportunities.
• Flexible working arrangements subject to business needs.
• Employee assistance programmes.
