Security Systems BIM Technician

at  Arup

JOINING ARUP

The global security landscape is changing daily and the risk to society from security related threats are unfortunately dynamic and unpredictable. Whilst Arup has traditionally had a very impressive reputation designing in the built environment to counter naturally occurring threats (flood, earthquake, fire, etc.), Arup has also established an expert team called the Resilience Security and Risk team to counter malicious manmade threats. Included in that team is a specialist Security System Engineering team, that complements other specialist capabilities such as counter-terrorist design, blast engineering, protective intelligence, hostile vehicle mitigation measures, operational resilience, and technical risk.
To ensure this, we take a risk-based approach to all our work and seek to make sure that security solutions are both appropriate, proportionate and commensurate with the threats, shocks and stresses any organisation could experience. We, therefore, work closely with other disciplines in Arup to find solutions that meet these objectives and are sustainable in their implementation.
