Physical Attack Simulation Team Lead

3 weeks ago


Reading, Reading, United Kingdom NCC Group Full time

Think you can outsmart locks, bypass security, and social-engineer your way into the most "secure" places? Good. We're looking for someone who doesn't just know the weaknesses in physical security - they exploit them.

The Opportunity: Physical Attack Simulation Team Lead

At NCC Group, we run high-stakes, high-impact physical attack simulations for top-tier global clients. As our Physical Attack Simulation Team Lead, you will:

  1. Plan and execute realistic covert and overt physical attack scenarios

  2. Break into buildings, systems, and minds (social engineering expert? Even better.)

  3. Work alongside Red Teams on cyber-physical engagements

  4. Mentor and train the next generation of security operators

  5. Develop new tools and attack methods because the same old tricks won't cut it

What we need from you:

  1. You have led real physical security assessments and covert operations

  2. You know RFID/NFC exploits, OSINT, and bypass techniques inside out

  3. You can write a report that makes sense to technical teams and executives alike

  4. You are comfortable with out-of-hours, on-site, and international work (this isn't a desk job)

  5. You have UK Security Clearance (or can obtain it) and a full clean driving licence

What we offer in return?

We have a high-performance culture which is balanced evenly with world-class well-being initiatives and benefits:

  • Flexible working
  • Financial & Investment
    • Pension
    • Life Assurance
    • Share Save Scheme
    • Maternity & Paternity leave
  • Community & Volunteering Programmes
  • Green Car Scheme
  • Cycle Scheme
  • Employee Referral Program
  • Lifestyle & Wellness
  • Learning & Development

This is a hybrid role with up to 50% on-site work. You will be breaking in so companies can lock things down. Sound like your kind of challenge? You know what to do #apply
