Principal Consultant – ICT & Security (Buildings & Infrastructure)
A leading built environment consultancy is looking for a Principal Consultant to join its Buildings & Infrastructure practice, sitting within a small specialist ICT & Security team inside a wider multidisciplinary Cities & Places group. The team works horizontally across water, transport, cities, defence and critical infrastructure.
This is a technical role, taking ownership of complex ICT and security design across major infrastructure projects — with scope to grow into mentoring and technical management as the practice expands.
What's in it for you:
- Take technical ownership of complex, secure infrastructure projects across major UK sectors
- Work across a genuinely varied portfolio — defence, critical infrastructure, water, transport, cities
- Build toward a technical leadership track, mentoring and shaping delivery standards in a growing specialist team
Responsibilities:
- Lead technical design and delivery of ICT and security solutions across building and infrastructure projects, feasibility through to handover (RIBA stages)
- Provide technical oversight for secure communications and building ICT systems
- Coordinate and integrate security solutions across complex infrastructure environments
- Work across multidisciplinary teams — architecture, engineering, infrastructure
- Mentor junior team members, maintaining technical quality and delivery standards
- Prepare technical reports, specifications and design outputs
- Support project work across defence, critical infrastructure, water and transport (rail excluded where possible)
- Input into proposals and client briefs from a technical standpoint as needed
