Buro Happold’s Security group provide a wide range of services to clients in order to develop the built environment. We typically support our clients by consulting on security strategy development, physical security, security technologies and engineering of digital technologies into the building and surrounding environment. In addition, we provide advice in solution procurement and implementation during and beyond construction programmes.

We are currently recruiting for a Security Systems Engineer to join us in our Mumbai Office. To provide effective security design, this role will require detailed coordination with related disciplines such as Fire, IT, Electrical, Architecture and numerous other parties.  The successful candidate will work closely with both internal and external design teams to influence the design approach and ensure the final design functions to allow buildings to maximise not only security, but also ease of use, automation, and consistency in operation. 

Our Mumbai team’s project work spans multiple sectors (education, cultural, stadia, commercial, airports), supporting clients and design teams across the world.

We’re also active in research and development, in areas that improve our approach to design within the built environment (e.g., building information modelling), and in keeping abreast of the latest emerging technologies and their potential for our clients.

Our committed investment in developing our people has enabled us to deliver these services on several prestigious local and international projects.
