Project Manager – Electronic Security Systems | £60,000–£70,000 + Tesla company car + expenses | London / Southeast
Employment: Permanent, Full Time

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Project Manager to join a growing security systems integrator delivering high-quality projects for corporate clients and major new-build developments.

You will manage multiple electronic security projects, typically valued between £20,000 and £1 million, taking full ownership from initial handover through to commissioning and completion. This is a fast-paced role requiring someone who can quickly understand a project, make informed decisions and drive delivery with minimal supervision.

Once established, you will typically work from home for part of the week, with travel to the company’s Central London office and project sites as required. Candidates should ideally live within approximately one hour of London and be comfortable travelling according to project needs.

The Role
Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing multiple electronic security installation projects from handover to completion
• Taking ownership of project scope, specifications, programmes and commercial performance
• Coordinating internal engineers, external labour and specialist subcontractors
• Planning first-fix, second-fix, installation, commissioning and handover activities
• Working closely with Sales and Bid Management to ensure a clear and effective project handover
• Reviewing technical specifications and contributing confidently during technical and client meetings
• Producing and issuing RAMS while ensuring all health and safety requirements are met
• Coordinating equipment procurement and deliveries to stores or project sites
• Monitoring budgets, schedules, resources, risks and project progress
• Ensuring commissioning records, O&M manuals and handover documentation are completed accurately
• Processing completed works and project milestones for invoicing
• Maintaining strong relationships with clients, subcontractors and internal stakeholders
• Travelling to sites across London and the wider region when required

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.

You will also need:

• A proven ability to manage several projects and competing priorities simultaneously
• Experience delivering projects from initial handover through to final completion
• Strong knowledge of installation and commissioning processes
• Confidence coordinating engineers, subcontractors, clients and internal teams
• Good commercial awareness, including budget and programme management
• Strong planning, communication and problem-solving skills
• The ability to work independently and take full ownership of delivery
• A driven, adaptable and hands-on approach
• A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to project sites
• Package and Working Arrangements
• Salary of £60,000–£70,000, depending on experience
• Tesla company car
• Business travel expenses covered
• Hybrid and home working once established
• Access to offices in Central London and Reading
• Varied, technically engaging projects valued from £20,000 to £1 million
• Opportunity to join a friendly and growing business with a strong project pipeline
