Security Systems Manager / Specialist - Newport - £50,000 - £70,000 DOE
* £50,000 - £70,000, dependent on experience
* Newport, South Wales - fully site-based
* Permanent
* Benefits to be confirmed on application
* Initial remit covers three sites across South Wales, with scope to expand across further European sites as the role develops
Security Systems Specialist Company Overview:
Our client is a well-established, multi-site organisation with a significant presence in South Wales and further operations across Europe. Site security is taken seriously and is overseen by a global security function, with local sites supported by dedicated facilities management teams. As part of continued investment in this area, our client is now looking to appoint a Security Systems Specialist to take ownership of the effectiveness of security systems across their South Wales sites, with the role expected to grow in scope over time.
Security Systems Specialist Role and Responsibilities:
* Act as the technical point of contact for security systems across three sites in South Wales, with scope to expand to further sites across Europe as the role develops
* Identify, investigate and report on issues affecting CCTV, access control, intruder alarm and related security systems, coordinating specialist contractors and engineers to carry out repairs and ongoing maintenance
* Work closely with onsite security and facilities management teams to review the performance of existing systems and recommend practical improvements
* Develop both immediate fixes and longer-term strategic solutions, rather than simply reacting to day-to-day issues
* Liaise with and present recommendations to senior stakeholders, building the credibility to challenge and influence existing processes and strategy
* Manage relationships with third-party engineers and contractors engaged to install, maintain and repair security systems across all sites
Security Systems Specialist Skills and Experience:
* A proven background in security systems (CCTV, access control, alarm/intruder systems), whether via an engineering, technical or systems management route
* This is a management and oversight role rather than a hands-on, tools-based position - comfortable directing and coordinating specialist contractors rather than carrying out repairs personally
* Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple sites, competing priorities and stakeholders
* A confident communicator, comfortable presenting to and influencing senior management
* A strategic mindset, able to identify root causes and propose long-term solutions rather than simply firefighting
