Security Systems Design Engineer
1. Role Overview The Security Systems Design Engineer is responsible for the development, coordination, and delivery of electronic security system designs and engineering documentation across commercial, industrial, infrastructure, and mission-critical projects. The role supports the Security Design & Engineering function throughout the project lifecycle, from concept and preliminary design through detailed design, construction support, testing, commissioning, and operational handover. Working under the direction of the Senior Security Systems Design Engineer and Design Manager, the role produces accurate, technically compliant, and coordinated security engineering deliverables in accordance with client requirements, project specifications, company standards, and applicable regulations. The role works closely with Security Design Engineers, Senior Engineers, BIM and CAD resources, Project Managers, consultants, contractors, and clients to ensure security systems are appropriately integrated into the wider project design and can be successfully delivered and maintained. 2. Key Responsibilities A. Security Systems Design Develop and produce engineering designs for CCTV & Video Surveillance, Access Control (ACS), Intrusion Detection (IDS), Perimeter Intrusion Detection (PIDS), Intercom & Emergency Communication, Video Management (VMS), PSIM, Security Command & Control, Security Operations Centres (SOC), Visitor Management, and Integrated Security Platforms. Prepare and contribute to Basis of Design (BoD), Functional Design Specifications (FDS), Detailed Design Packages, Technical Specifications, Security Schematics, Equipment/Device Schedules, Network Architecture Diagrams, Bills of Materials (BOM), Cause-and-Effect Matrices, and Security Programming Matrices. Ensure engineering deliverables are accurate, coordinated, technically compliant, and aligned with approved design requirements. Escalate complex technical issues, design risks, and deviations to the Senior Security Systems Design Engineer or Design Manager as appropriate. B. Design Development & Engineering Develop security system designs from approved project requirements and design information. Undertake device and equipment selection, system architecture development, security device layouts, equipment room layouts, rack/cabinet layouts, cable and containment requirements, system connectivity, security zoning, door/access control requirements, CCTV coverage, and interface requirements. Review architectural, MEP, structural, ICT and other project information to ensure security requirements are appropriately incorporated into the design. Identify design gaps and technical issues and raise them for resolution. C. Technical Documentation Prepare and maintain design reports, technical specifications, equipment/device/cable schedules, security schematics, network architecture diagrams, system block diagrams, interface documentation, Bills of Materials, and technical submissions. Ensure documentation is produced in accordance with company templates, project standards, document control procedures, and client requirements. Maintain revision control and ensure design changes are accurately incorporated into project documentation. D. Multidisciplinary Design Coordination Coordinate security system designs with Architectural, MEP, ICT, General Contractor, BIM, CAD, and Project Delivery teams. Participate in multidisciplinary coordination meetings and technical workshops. Coordinate security device/equipment locations, containment routes, cable pathways, equipment rooms, security control rooms, server/communications rooms, power requirements, network interfaces, and architectural requirements. E. BIM & CAD Coordination Work closely with BIM and CAD resources to ensure security engineering requirements are accurately incorporated into project models and drawings. Review AutoCAD drawings, Revit models, security layouts, equipment layouts, riser diagrams, schematics, and coordination drawings. Provide technical information and design direction to CAD and BIM resources where required. Ensure security design information is correctly represented within project BIM and CAD environments. Support the Senior Security Systems Design Engineer in reviewing design deliverables prior to client submission. F. Client & Stakeholder Support Support the Senior Security Systems Design Engineer and Design Manager during client and stakeholder engagement. Participate in client meetings, design workshops, technical coordination meetings, design reviews, requirements gathering sessions, and contractor coordination meetings. Provide technical responses to routine RFIs, client/consultant comments, technical queries, and site queries. Escalate complex or commercially sensitive technical matters to the appropriate senior engineering resource. G. Risk-Based Security Design Support security designs based upon Threat Assessments, Vulnerability Assessments, Risk Assessments, Security Risk Registers, and Operational Security Requirements. Apply defence-in-depth, layered security, security zoning, CPTED principles, operational resilience, and risk-based technology selection. Ensure security systems address identified risks and operational requirements. Support the Senior Security Systems Design Engineer in translating risk and operational requirements into practical engineering solutions. H. Security Systems Integration Support design and coordination of security system interfaces with BMS, Fire & Life Safety Systems, ICT Infrastructure, Data Centre Management Platforms, Operational Technology (OT), Enterprise Management Platforms, and Third-Party Systems. Contribute to Interface Control Documents (ICDs), Integration Strategies, Alarm Handling Logic, System Interface Requirements, Security Programming Requirements, and Cause-and-Effect Matrices. Ensure interfaces are clearly documented and coordinated with relevant engineering disciplines. I. Project Delivery & Construction Support Provide engineering support throughout Concept Design, Detailed Design, Tender, Construction, Installation, Testing & Commissioning, and Handover. Support technical queries, RFIs, design changes, site coordination, installation queries, design clarifications, drawing updates, and as-built documentation. Attend site visits where required to verify installation conditions and support resolution of technical issues. Review installation information against approved design requirements and identify discrepancies for resolution. J. Testing, Commissioning & Handover Support testing and commissioning activities to verify installed systems operate in accordance with approved design requirements. Assist with test documentation, commissioning procedures, system verification, integrated systems testing, defect identification, technical issue resolution, as-built documentation, and handover documentation. Support the Senior Security Systems Design Engineer and Project Manager in resolving technical issues identified during testing and commissioning. K. Pre-Sales & Business Development Support Provide technical support to Pre-Sales and Business Development activities where required. Assist with client requirements, technical scope development, preliminary system designs, equipment selection, technical proposals, Bills of Materials, design effort estimates, technical clarifications, and solution development. Provide practical engineering input to ensure proposed security solutions are technically viable and deliverable. 3.
