Technical Security Program Manager

Always wanted to challenge the obvious and make great things happen? At Goodman we create space for your greatness. Goodman develops, owns and manages logistics facilities and data centres that support the movement of goods and the digital economy. As our Continental European data centre portfolio grows, we are strengthening the internal capability that assures security systems from design through operational use. The Technical Security Program Manager will act as the technical authority for security-system readiness, acceptance and sustained performance. This is not a commissioning-only role: approximately 70% of the position supports design, construction, testing and RFS readiness, while approximately 30% is dedicated to post-RFS stabilisation, lifecycle assurance, defect resolution, optimisation and continuous improvement. More concretely, this means you will get the opportunity to own and develop: Commissioning Strategy Own the security commissioning and assurance framework from design review through RFS, including test stages, evidence requirements, acceptance criteria and independent validation points. Design and integration assurance Review security designs and integration architecture to confirm that systems are buildable, resilient, testable, maintainable and aligned with operational requirements. Technical delivery Lead configuration, functional testing, integrated systems testing, diagnostics, remediation and performance optimisation across core security platforms. Construction quality Inspect cabling, containment, devices, field panels, control rooms and enabling infrastructure, and enforce quality gates before energisation, testing and handover. Readiness and acceptance Maintain objective evidence, configuration baselines and decision records, report risks clearly, and advise the Physical Security Lead and Operations Team on readiness and acceptance. Vendor governance Direct integrators, contractors, commissioning agents and specialist vendors without transferring internal ownership of assurance, results or acceptance decisions. Post-RFS stabilisation Lead the security systems stabilisation period after RFS, track defects to closure and verify that temporary overrides, workarounds and incomplete configurations are removed. Lifecycle assurance Monitor operational performance, analyse recurring faults and integration failures, and coordinate corrective improvements with Operations, ICT, vendors and platform owners. Standards and capability Convert operational feedback and lessons learned into improved standards, test scripts, configuration controls, training and repeatable assurance practices across the portfolio. Do you recognize yourself? A degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, building services, construction management or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant industry experience. At least seven years of experience in electronic security systems engineering, commissioning or technical assurance, including complex integrated systems. Practical experience in data centres or comparable critical infrastructure, with a strong understanding of operational risk, resilience and controlled change. Deep working knowledge of access control and identity systems, CCTV/VMS, intrusion detection, perimeter protection, control rooms and interfaces with ICT, BMS, fire and monitoring platforms. Proven ability to troubleshoot technical and integration issues, evaluate objective test evidence and drive defects through to sustainable resolution. Experience leading contractors, integrators and multidisciplinary stakeholders across design, construction, testing, handover and live operations. Strong judgement and clear communication, with the ability to explain technical risk, cost and operational consequences to leadership, customers and delivery teams. Professional-level English and willingness to travel across the Continental European data centre portfolio as project and operational needs require. How will we reward you?
