AECOM is seeking an experienced Secure Facilities Technical Engineering - Mission Critical & Secure Facilities to support our national Mission Critical and Secure Facilities practice, providing technical leadership for the design and execution of secure and classified facilities for U.S. federal, Department of War, and Intelligence Community clients.
This role is focused on the technical implementation of ICD 705, SCIF, SAPF, Open Storage Secret (OSS), TEMPEST, and related security requirements, translating security criteria into coordinated, constructible architectural and engineering solutions, construction documents, specifications, and technical details.
The successful candidate will serve as a technical liaison between government security stakeholders and multidisciplinary project teams and possess a strong understanding of how physical and technical security requirements integrate with architectural, engineering, telecommunications, audiovisual, electronic security, and other building systems. The position will support projects throughout both CONUS and OCONUS locations.
Key Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Serve as a technical lead for secure facility design and execution, interpreting and applying ICD 705, SCIF, SAPF, OSS, TEMPEST, and related physical and technical security criteria.
- Translate security requirements into coordinated design criteria, construction documents, specifications, technical details, and constructible solutions.
- Lead multidisciplinary coordination with architects, engineers, technology and security specialists, contractors, and government stakeholders, including SSMs, SSOs, CTTAs, and Accrediting Officials.
- Develop and review technical solutions for secure perimeter construction, doors and openings, penetrations, acoustic protection, access control, intrusion detection, and other physical security requirements.
- Coordinate TEMPEST and RF mitigation strategies, including RF shielding, non-conductive breaks, waveguide-below-cutoff penetrations, power and signal filtering, grounding/bonding, and related countermeasures.
- Conduct existing-condition surveys, facility assessments, and feasibility studies for new construction, renovation, conversion, and upgrade of secure environments.
- Perform technical design, interdisciplinary coordination, quality-control, and constructability reviews to ensure security requirements are appropriately incorporated into project documentation.
- Provide technical support during construction, including review of submittals, RFIs, shop drawings, field conditions, inspections, testing, and resolution of security-related issues, and support accreditation/certification and project closeout as applicable.
- Support development and implementation of secure facility standards, specifications, details, tools, and best practices, while maintaining awareness of evolving government security criteria.
- Support proposal development, technical approaches, scopes of work, and strategic growth opportunities for the Mission Critical and Secure Facilities practice.
Successful candidates will demonstrate the following critical qualifications and capabilities:
- Demonstrated experience interpreting and implementing ICD 705, SCIF, SAPF, OSS, TEMPEST, and related secure facility requirements.
- Demonstrated ability to translate security requirements into construction drawings, specifications, technical details, and multidisciplinary design solutions.
- Knowledge of secure perimeter construction and RF/TEMPEST mitigation techniques, including penetrations, shielding, non-conductive breaks, waveguide-below-cutoff protection, and power/signal filtering.
- Strong understanding of multidisciplinary building systems and their interaction with physical and technical security requirements.
- Experience with secure facility assessments, technical design reviews, and construction-phase support.
- Strong technical leadership, coordination, written communication, and presentation skills.
- Ability and willingness to travel periodically in support of CONUS and OCONUS projects.
