Niall cunningham

I am an experienced Security Systems Project Engineer with a proven track record of delivering large-scale installations across complex environments, including stadiums, ports, and high-rise developments. With expertise in access control, intruder alarms, CCTV, fire safety, and biometric systems, I specialise in designing, implementing, and commissioning integrated security solutions that meet the highest industry and safety standards.

Throughout my career, I have led multidisciplinary teams, managed project lifecycles from design to handover, and built strong client relationships through clear communication and effective stakeholder management. Skilled in technical documentation (CAD, Visio, Excel, Word) and budget control, I am committed to ensuring projects are delivered on time, within scope, and to a high standard of quality.

Holding an ECS Gold Card, FESS assessment, SSSTS, and IPAF certification, I bring both technical proficiency and leadership capability to every role. I am passionate about mentoring apprentices, promoting safe working practices, and driving continuous improvement in all aspects of project delivery.

You have over 15 years of experience in the design, installation, and management of complex security and fire safety systems across major projects in the UK and internationally. Your career spans roles from hands-on installation engineer through to project engineer and team supervisor, giving you a deep technical foundation combined with strong leadership skills.

You have successfully delivered large-scale projects such as Everton Football Club’s new stadium, Peel Ports facilities, high-rise developments, and international venues like the Barcelona Cruise Terminal. Skilled in access control, intruder alarms, CCTV, biometrics, and fire systems, you are also highly experienced in project management, health and safety compliance, budgeting, and technical documentation.

With certifications including ECS Gold Card, FESS, SSSTS, and IPAF, you bring both technical expertise and proven capability in leading teams, mentoring apprentices, and ensuring projects are completed to the highest standard.
