Remote Embedded Security Project Manager - Northern Europe in Huddersfield

Embedded Security Project Manager - Northern Europe

Location

EMEA-based, flexible (UK, Ireland)

Travel

Regular site travel required, typically every 1–2 weeks, depending on regional project demand.

Purpose

This role strengthens delivery capability across large-scale data centre and critical infrastructure programmes for a major global technology customer.

Operating as an embedded technical specialist, the Security Project Manager leads the on-site coordination, technical validation, and integrated deployment of physical and electronic security systems.

The role blends project delivery, engineering oversight, on-site presence, and system verification, not traditional commercial project management.

You will support in-country project managers and partner with construction, MEP, network, and global security teams to ensure systems are installed, tested, and handed over to the highest standards.

• Major Responsibilities
• Technical Security Delivery
• Deliver the full lifecycle of physical and electronic security elements within data centre and critical infrastructure projects.
• Oversee technical installation quality, system integration accuracy, device placement, panel wiring, and alignment to global standards.
• Support site surveys, verify existing conditions, and collaborate with local teams to scope and document technical requirements.
• On-Site Coordination & Field Presence
• Serve as the on-site embedded security representative, collaborating closely with construction, MEP, and infrastructure teams.
• Conduct regular on-site reviews to validate installation progress, sequencing, and technical compliance.
• Engage directly with integrators and contractors to resolve issues and accelerate progress.
• Functional Testing & System Verification
• Lead functional testing of ACS, VMS, IDS, intercoms, sensors, physical hardware, and failover behaviour.
• Verify door functionality (REX, DPS), camera behaviour, alarm routing, network logic paths, redundancy, and event visibility.
• Document results, identify defects, and coordinate remediation through re-testing and sign-off.
• Commissioning Support (Verification, Not Programming)
• Witness and validate commissioning performed by integrators.
• Verify system responses, alarms, behaviour, and integration points, ensuring readiness for handover.
• Confirm alignment to global client standards and escalate deviations where required.
• Physical Security Infrastructure Oversight

• Oversee installation and integration of

• Perimeter fencing and hardening
• Turnstiles, gates, vehicle barriers, crash-rated bollards
• Door hardware, locking systems, hinges, closers
• Ensure seamless interplay between physical components and electronic systems
• Documentation, Reporting & Quality Management
• Produce structured site reports with photos, risks, deviations, and recommended corrective actions.
• Track and close snags/punch lists, coordinating remediation with in-country partners.
• Review RFIs, submittals, drawings, and technical documentation to support accurate delivery.
• Design, BIM & Coordination
• Review drawings and models (Bluebeam, ACC, Navisworks) to identify clashes, design gaps, access constraints, and installation conflicts.
• Provide redlines and recommendations that improve buildability and prevent rework.
• Cross-Functional Partnership
• Partner with global security standards owners, engineering, construction, MEP, and operations teams.
• Maintain clear communication through dashboards, updates, and issue/risk registers.
• Align project activities with global security expectations while adapting to local conditions.
• What Does Success Look Like
• You enhance the capacity of regional project managers by delivering technically accurate, fully validated security systems.
• You ensure installations are correct the first time, reducing rework, delays, and escalations.
• You create clarity for all stakeholders through structured, proactive communication.
• You build trusted relationships across construction, engineering, and security teams.
• You help the global programme scale consistently, supporting expansion across multiple regions.
• You champion continuous improvement by identifying gaps, improving testing processes, and elevating delivery quality.

Education

• Qualification in engineering, security technology, construction management, or related field; equivalent experience considered.

Experience & Knowledge

• Strong practical experience with Lenel On Guard and Milestone XProtect (essential).
• Familiarity with ACS/VMS integrations, intrusion detection, intercoms, sensors, IP-based security systems.
• Experience validating functional tests and witnessing commissioning activities.
• Understanding of installation methods (cabling, containment, device mounting, infrastructure routing).
• Physical Security Infrastructure
• Experience with perimeter systems, gates, barriers, turnstiles, and door hardware.
• Knowledge of how physical and electronic systems integrate logically and mechanically.
• Critical Infrastructure Delivery
• Experience delivering security systems in data centres, utilities, energy, telecoms, transport hubs, or similar high-availability environments.
• Tools & Platforms
