Job Title: Physical Security Application Engineer Location: Camberley/London Salary: Competitive Type: Permanent Sector: Public Sector The Physical Security Application Engineer operates within the Design & Engineering function, reporting to the Head of Design & Engineering in North's Public Services sector. This is a technical role combining deep platform expertise, hands-on commissioning capability, and design authority responsibilities across a portfolio of projects. The successful candidate will bring demonstrable hands-on experience across multiple enterprise security platforms, and will be expected to commission, configure, and technically lead deployments across the full range of platforms North delivers. They will be recognised internally as the primary technical reference for enterprise security platforms, and will operate as a trusted advisor to clients and project teams from requirements definition through to system handover. The role spans both direct delivery and technical leadership depending on project scale. On smaller or single-site projects the postholder will lead commissioning personally on site. On larger, more complex programmes they will direct and oversee commissioning teams, maintaining technical authority throughout.
