At Cundall, we love to be innovative and do things differently – we are committed to providing people with the knowledge, skills and freedom to make a difference in our homes, our offices, our projects, our industry and our community. Our passion for sustainability is reflected in the award-winning projects we deliver and the reputation we have in the industry.

As a medium-sized but truly international consultancy, we are big enough to provide a wide range of challenging projects for our staff, but still at a size where our students can be treated as individuals and given real responsibility at an early stage.

The Role: We are seeking talented, creative and environmentally focused Crime and Security Science students with a keen interest in security advisory and design to join our team in London for a Summer Placement in 2026. You will work closely with our team of security consultants and engineers, gaining exposure to reducing risk of real-time threats and enhancing security through design in a range of challenging jobs, across a variety of real projects. Under the guidance of our team of expert consultants, this role will provide you with opportunities to be part of our team and assist with a variety of security assessments, as well as physical and electronic security design across the RIBA working stages.

If working on large scale and high-end projects across multiple sectors including critical systems, Critical National Infrastructure (CNI), education, healthcare and workplace appeals then join us!

The Skills: You will have a passion for holistic security to assist in risk reduction and crime prevention as well as excellent communication skills to assist in creating industry-leading built environments. Your skills will include:

• Working towards a degree in BSc Crime and Security Science.
• Preferably undertaking your penultimate year of study.
• Have appropriate understanding of crime prevention through environmental design and situational crime prevention.
• Have a dedication towards problem solving and seek getting involved in commercial multidisciplinary projects where security mitigates risks without compromising business operations.
• Have a passion for sustainability and improving the built environment.
• Be interested in digital engineering (AutoCAD, Autodesk Revit). No prior experience is required.
