At FCDO Services, we protect the UK’s interests at home and overseas. We design and construct secure government buildings, courier diplomatic packages worldwide, safeguard government tech, and a whole lot more. Our work is as varied and vital as it gets, but we never lose sight of our people. Their skills, aspirations and growth mean as much as the mission we're on. In our world, it all matters.
Our Property and Construction teams design and build brand new embassies in bustling cities and remote locations. They collaborate with architects, engineers and surveyors to design and reconfigure high commission’s office spaces. They work to develop and install new CCTV systems at secure sites. This work is as varied and as vital as it gets. Now you’ve got the opportunity to join them.
A highly motivated and collaborative team worker, you enjoy the challenge of working on complex technical security systems. And now you’re ready to apply your skills and expertise to projects both here in the UK and overseas. We’re on a vital global mission, and you can be part of it.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Designing and building embassies.
2. Providing a world-class service.
3. Protecting the UK’s security interests.
4. Installing single and complex multi-systems to a set design.
5. Supervising apprentices and labourers assigned to the team.
6. Assisting with the completion of risk assessments and compliance with relevant Health and Safety procedures.
7. Liaising with customers on a day-to-day basis to ensure satisfaction.
With a Level 3 qualification or its equivalent in electronics, telecommunications or IT, you’ll have well developed experience of installing technical protective security systems, and practical application of risk assessment. We’ll expect you to have good knowledge and understanding of one or more of the following: CCTV/ACS/IAPA/IDA, radio, IT, structured cabling or PCPO, and of cable installation to a quality standard (Cat5, Cat6, Fibre, Cold Cure, Hot Melt and Fusion Splicing). A collaborative and motivated team worker, you’ll be ready to deliver at pace both in the UK and in some challenging overseas locations. Experience of working in a similar role would be desirable, as would an understanding of construction design management requirements and operating in secure environments. Membership of a relevant professional body and possession of an ECS card would also be a bonus.
But we’re always looking to improve – just like you. That’s why when you join us, expect to receive a competitive salary, generous holiday entitlement and a Civil Service Pension. Along with this, you’ll also have access to training and other development opportunities to help grow your career with us. Our offices have an on-site gym, nursery, café, and restaurant, and we offer interest-free loans on season tickets and bikes to help you get there. It's a great set of benefits made to support all you do, and all you need.

The vital work we do takes an incredible community of colleagues, with different skills, backgrounds, cultures and identities.
