The Ideal Candidate
The successful candidate will be an organised, commercially aware and proactive Project Manager with at least five years’ experience delivering technical installation projects.
A practical technical background is particularly important. Ideally, you will have started your career in installation, engineering or commissioning before progressing into project management. This experience should enable you to understand technical specifications, add value during technical meetings and manage projects without requiring extensive support from engineering colleagues.
Experience within electronic security, security systems integration or a closely related engineering environment is strongly preferred. Knowledge of platforms such as Genetec, Lenel, C-Cure or Gallagher would be advantageous.
