About The Role
Our Balfour Beatty Highways business has a terrific opportunity for a Security Advisor to join our £1.2 billion Lower Thames Crossing project.
The Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) is one of the UK’s most significant infrastructure projects. LTC is a new road that will connect Kent and Essex through a tunnel beneath the River Thames and will be the greenest road ever built in the UK - creating six times more green space than road. The reliable new route will almost double road capacity over the river east of London to reduce congestion and give millions of people more choice on where they live, work and spend their valuable time.
We have a diverse programme team on LTC that reflects the communities we work in and fosters an inclusive culture by actively supporting the programme's Purpose, Principles and Cultural Pillars and growing employee networks.
As a Security Advisor, you will support the Design Engineering team in delivering schemes related to our Lower Thames Crossing project.
What you'll be doing
- Ensure security provider contract performance by gathering data to monitor SLA’s and KPI’s.
- Maintain a strong security culture and implement practical security measures within areas of responsibility by carrying out security audits and risk assessments.

- Provide security advice to sites where required.
- Identify and advise the sublot/project team when additional security measures are required in the auditing process.
- Produce Security Management Plans where required.
- Monitor events taking place within their area of responsibility and arrange appropriate security measures to ensure risk reduction.
- Assist with developing policies and procedures to enable BB Security Dept.
- Develop a strong understanding of sites and construction plans to anticipate security requirements for the project.
- Ensuring site set up is in line with the site security management plan and implement preventative measures against accidents, thefts and other risks.
