Control Risks is seeking a Physical Security Designer to support the growth of its Built Environment & Infrastructure design practice in North America.

The role will prepare and review design drawings, technical documentation, specifications, schedules, reports, and related files for electronic and non-electronic physical protection systems. This includes support to facility upgrades, new construction projects, and multidisciplinary design and delivery processes.

The successful candidate will bring practical knowledge of security design, construction documentation, building and life safety codes, industry standards, and related guidelines, working as part of the US-based Americas BE&I team and wider Control Risks network.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Prepare security design documents, including existing conditions reports, design programming materials, basis of design narratives, equipment specifications, equipment schedules, 30/60/100 percent drawings, and as-built drawing reviews.
• Produce, review, and coordinate drawings and technical files for electronic physical protection systems, including access control, intrusion detection, video surveillance, duress, emergency communications, intercom, and related systems.
• Support design work for non-electronic physical protection measures, including perimeter protection, CPTED, security operations considerations, protective barriers, and related facility hardening measures.
• Teach, mentor, and support non-designer security and risk management professionals so they can contribute effectively to design programming and security design requirements development.
• Support quality reviews of internal and subcontractor design documents, including drawing sets, specifications, schedules, design narratives, and technical submittals.
• Perform site surveys, existing conditions reviews, installation inspections, and physical security assessments in support of project delivery and broader risk assessment work across Control Risks markets.
• Translate assessment findings, threat and vulnerability considerations, operational requirements, and client priorities into practical security design requirements and coordinated deliverables.
• Coordinate with architects, engineers, project managers, owners, operators, security integrators, and other design team members to support proportionate, code-aware, and technically sound security solutions.
• Contribute to proposals, scopes of work, level-of-effort estimates, and project budgets where design assumptions, deliverables, and required inputs must be clearly defined.

• Working knowledge of non-electronic physical protection systems and design approaches, including perimeter fencing, CPTED, vehicle barriers, hostile vehicle mitigation, protective design, and facility hardening measures.
• Experience interpreting and applying U.S. and North American building codes, life safety codes, accessibility requirements, security standards, design standards, and industry guidelines within design projects and design document reviews.
