Physical Security Design Lead and Contract Document Specialist

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team. Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings.

• Have core technical expertise in access control, intrusion detection, video surveillance, intercommunications, radio, and network systems, and can author specifications, drawings, and equipment schedules from scratch
• Have a strong understanding of A/E deliverables and phases (SD/DD/CD, RIBA Stages), CSI-format specifications, equipment schedules, and construction administration submittal processes
• Have demonstrated the ability to develop and implement internal tools (web applications, BIM add-ins, scripting / automation)
• Are a detail-oriented technical author with strong critical thinking skills, comfortable working from incomplete inputs and converging on a defensible documented standard, and self-motivated with a strong bias for action
• Have excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal skills, and are comfortable in active construction environments and with global travel for site / coordination visits when required

Also a plus

• CDT (Construction Documents Technologist), PSP (Physical Security Professional) or CPP (Certified Protection Professional) certification, or equivalent demonstrated knowledge of construction project delivery
• Familiarity with the Revit API, BIM workflows, version control, and modern AI-assisted development tools and practices
• Familiarity with Apple OS, Google Suite, Bluebeam, Revit / AutoCAD, Asana, Smartsheet, MS Project, Procore, PlanGrid, and Autodesk Construction Cloud

What the job covers

• Develop, maintain, and continuously enhance the contract document basis of design (BOD), initiating BOD content from the site/risk assessment and programming efforts produced at each project kickoff
• Author and evolve design templates (drawings, specifications, equipment schedules, riser diagrams, and ancillary documents) for access control, intrusion detection, video surveillance, intercommunications, radio, and network systems, including variations that comply with international / regional standards and codes
• Serve as the contract-document subject matter expert: review design consultant deliverables (SD/DD/CD/RIBA stage packages, specifications, equipment schedules) for accuracy, completeness, and alignment with the BOD, and drive coordination across architectural, electrical / fire alarm, network, AV, and Real Estate / Workplace disciplines
• Support bid, construction, and operational handover phases through specification clarifications, RFI responses, submittal review, shop-drawing back-checks, and ensuring closeout documentation and as-builts remain consistent with the issued contract documents
• Partner with GSIS (Sec Ops, Regional Security Managers, Investigations, Global Security Technology Lead), Real Estate / Workplace, the Network Team, design consultants, and security integrators to capture operational needs, site constraints, and lessons learned from every project phase and translate them into BOD and template revisions
• Maintain the GSIS design library (template drawing sets, master specifications, equipment schedules, standard details) under version control, along with change-management, exception, and tracking logs, and provide regular status updates and improvement recommendations to the Physical Security DEC Manager
• Implement automations and AI-assisted workflows, BIM add-ins, web-based utilities, and data-processing tools that streamline repetitive design and documentation tasks, and align QA tools and global standards across business units while documenting regional variances
