<p class="text-muted mb-3">An established and growing electronic security specialist is looking to appoint a Security Engineer to join its close-knit engineering team.</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">The business delivers security solutions across a varied portfolio of projects, with a strong presence within the M&E sector alongside commercial environments. The company has built a positive working culture where engineers are trusted to manage their day effectively, supported by an experienced team and given the opportunity to develop their technical skillset.</p>
