Turn analytical thinking into real-world security solutions
Join Tetra Tech's growing Security team and develop your career alongside experienced security professionals, working on complex built-environment projects where engineering, technology, data, and security come together.
Purpose & Scope of the Role
As a Graduate Security Consultant, you'll help design, develop, implement, and assess physical, technical, personnel, and personal security solutions, including their increasing convergence with cyber security.
This is a broad, hands-on development role for someone curious about how security challenges can be solved through engineering, analytical thinking, and technology. You'll work across live projects, applying data and modelling techniques, developing assessment methodologies, and helping turn security requirements into practical, proportionate solutions.
Your Impact in this position
You'll contribute to prestigious projects across the UK, working alongside security specialists, engineers, and multidisciplinary project teams. From assessing threats, vulnerabilities, and risks to exploring innovative technologies and improving security processes, you'll help clients make informed decisions that protect people, places, and assets.
With structured graduate development and support from senior security professionals, you'll build technical capability across multiple security disciplines while working towards professional recognition.
5 Core Capabilities
Security Risk & Analysis
- Undertake threat, vulnerability, and risk assessments, critically evaluating information and challenging assumptions to support robust decisions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Technical & Data-Led Problem Solving
- Apply modelling, data, and analytical techniques to real-world security problems, with opportunities to develop skills in Python, data science, machine learning, and emerging technologies.
Security Design & Implementation
- Support security strategies, technical designs, and guidance, identifying creative and proportionate solutions to complex engineering challenges.
Collaboration & Communication
- Build effective relationships with technical and non-technical stakeholders, communicating complex information clearly and contributing confidently within multidisciplinary teams.
Continuous Improvement & Innovation
- Help develop methodologies, processes, templates, and tools while bringing curiosity, attention to detail, and fresh thinking to evolving security challenges.
Training, Qualifications & Experience
You'll ideally hold a relevant degree or equivalent technical qualification in security, engineering or another built-environment discipline. Previous experience across every security area isn't expected: our graduate training programme provides structured development, professional mentoring and support towards recognized professional membership and chartered status.
You'll need strong analytical and communication skills, confidence using Microsoft Office and the ability to manage priorities while maintaining technical quality.
UK Government Developed Vetting is required. You must therefore be a sole UK national and have been resident in the UK for at least the previous 10 years.
Working Environment
You'll initially be based within the M25 in North-West London, working from the office a minimum of four days per week. The role includes regular visits to client sites across South-East England and occasional travel to client, supplier, and Tetra Tech locations elsewhere in the UK.

The working pattern is predominantly office and project-site based due to the security requirements and collaborative nature of the role, with limited scope for hybrid or remote working where project and security requirements allow.
You must have a full UK driving license and access to a car as the project sites are not easily accessible by public transport.
