• Coordinate with contractors, IT teams, and other disciplines to ensure security systems are correctly integrated with power, containment, and IP network infrastructure where required.
• Uphold and apply drawing and documentation standards, including plans, elevations, schematics, and schedules, ensuring accuracy and consistency throughout the construction phase.

• Support the validation of physical and electronic security systems through testing, commissioning, and handover activities, ensuring systems operate in line with design intent and agreed performance criteria.
• Review and coordinate the production of security-related handover documentation, including CCTV and video analytics, access control systems, intruder and perimeter detection, intercom and IP-based security platforms.
