2023 Graduate Security Engineer

About Us

Hoare Lea is an award-winning engineering consultancy with a creative team of engineers, designers and technical specialists. We provide innovative solutions to complex engineering and design challenges for buildings.

Irrespective of the scale or complexity of a project, we provide a full range of MEP, environmental and sustainability services, bringing buildings to life and ensuring that they perform in operation as well as they look.

Hoare Lea has joined Tetra Tech’s High Performance Buildings Group, a global alliance of MEP firms.

Security

Today’s world requires security to be considered an intrinsic part of a development and not an afterthought or add-on. We have the ability to design buildings so they’re as secure as possible right from concept stage.  

We view our work as a service rather than a product; supporting a building throughout its entire lifecycle and developing as technology and user expectations evolve.

We are a team of accredited experts, including Principal Members of the Register of Security Engineers and Specialists (RSES) and Members of the Security Institute. In an area where strong opinions are rife, we focus on objective, scientific and evidence-based solutions.
