Embedded Security Project Manager - Northern Europe

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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

• Strong practical experience with Lenel OnGuard 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).

• Experience with perimeter systems, gates, barriers, turnstiles, and door hardware.

• Knowledge of how physical and electronic systems integrate logically and mechanically.

• Experience delivering security systems in data centres, utilities, energy, telecoms, transport hubs, or similar high‑availability environments.

• Bluebeam Revu

• Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC)

• Navisworks (Manage or Freedom)

• MS Project or Smartsheet

• AutoCAD

• Microsoft 365

• BIM/VDC familiarity beneficial

• Collaborative, relationship‑focused approach

• Strong technical problem‑solving capability

• Clear, confident communication across diverse stakeholders

• High attention to detail, structured working style

• Ability to work independently and travel regularly

• Adaptability in fast‑moving construction environments

• Commitment to continuous learning and technical growth
