About the Role

Nscale is seeking a Security Construction Manager to lead the field-side delivery of physical and logical security systems across our data center construction and fit-out programs. This role owns the implementation coordination of access control and camera infrastructure, physical security systems, and Zero Trust Network (ZTN) deployment for new site builds — translating security requirements defined by the CISO and Security organization into contractor scopes, installation accountability, and verified commissioning outcomes.

Working at the intersection of Design & Construction and the Security organization, you ll ensure that security systems are installed correctly, integrated as intended, and handed over in a state that meets Nscale s operational and compliance expectations. This role does not author security specifications or policies; rather, it s accountable for ensuring that what the Security organization and design teams have defined is faithfully and fully executed in the field.

What You ll be Doing

- Serve as the primary construction-phase interface between the Design & Construction team, specialist security contractors, and the Security organization, translating approved security requirements and designs into field implementation accountability, and ensuring all security-related design changes, deviations, and technical decisions are reviewed and approved through the Security organization.

- Coordinate the installation, integration, and commissioning of physical security systems including access control, IP camera and CCTV infrastructure, intrusion detection, perimeter security, and visitor management hardware across new Nscale data center sites.

- Manage the field-side delivery of Zero Trust Network (ZTN) implementation, coordinating with OT/IT network teams, contractors, and the CISO to ensure ZTN architecture is deployed in alignment with defined security policy and network segmentation requirements.

- Review contractor submittals, shop drawings, and installation plans for compliance with Security-approved specifications and design requirements, escalating non-conformances for Security approval before work proceeds.

- Track security system delivery milestones within the broader construction schedule, maintaining visibility on procurement, installation sequencing, integration dependencies, and commissioning readiness.

- Conduct regular site walks and contractor coordination meetings to validate installation progress, identify field conflicts, and ensure work quality aligns with approved designs and security standards.

- Coordinate with the Security organization on any field-identified design gaps, scope changes, or installation issues that require security policy or specification input, ensuring changes follow a defined security review and approval path.

- Coordinate and support commissioning and acceptance testing activities with the Security organization, ensuring Security participation and approval of commissioning results, system readiness, and operational turnover.

- Maintain implementation documentation including as-built records, device inventories, commissioning test reports, punch lists, and handover packages for security systems, ensuring the operations team receives complete and accurate project closeout documentation.
