Physical Attack Simulation Team Lead

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:

• Plan and execute realistic covert and overt physical attack scenarios

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

• Work alongside Red Teams on cyber-physical engagements

• Mentor and train the next generation of security operators

• Develop new tools and attack methods because the same old tricks won’t cut it

What we need from you:

• You have led real physical security assessments and covert operations

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

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

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

• 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:

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
