Why Buro Happold ?

Described by our clients as ‘passionate’, ‘innovative’, ‘collaborative’: BuroHappold Engineering is an independent, international engineering practice that over the last 40 years has become synonymous with the delivery of creative, value led building and city solutions for an ever-changing world. Having worked on every continent, our clients include more than 90% of the world’s leading architectural practices and we have collaborated with global organisations such as the United Nations, The World Bank and UNESCO. Through our global community of driven, world leading engineering professionals we deliver elegant solutions for buildings and cities that seek to address the major problems facing societies today.

As an organisation we strive for progress and are committed to finding new and better ways to deliver elegant solutions. We recognise that this can only happen if our people can keep up with, create and implement the latest developments in technology and ideas. We offer learning and development opportunities at every level, to help shape exciting and personally satisfying careers and ensure our engineers stay at the cutting edge of industry thought.

Buro Happold’s Security group provide a wide range of services to clients in order to develop the built environment. We typically support our clients by consulting on security strategy development, physical security, security technologies and engineering of digital technologies into the building and surrounding environment. In addition, we provide advice in solution procurement and implementation during and beyond construction programmes.

We are currently recruiting for a Security Systems Engineer to join us in our Mumbai Office. To provide effective security design, this role will require detailed coordination with related disciplines such as Fire, IT, Electrical, Architecture and numerous other parties. The successful candidate will work closely with both internal and external design teams to influence the design approach and ensure the final design functions to allow buildings to maximise not only security, but also ease of use, automation, and consistency in operation.

Our Mumbai team’s project work spans multiple sectors (education, cultural, stadia, commercial, airports), supporting clients and design teams across the world.

We’re also active in research and development, in areas that improve our approach to design within the built environment (e.g., building information modelling), and in keeping abreast of the latest emerging technologies and their potential for our clients.

Our committed investment in developing our people has enabled us to deliver these services on several prestigious local and international projects.
