The Company

Crowdguard Limited was founded in 2019 to provide rapid-response, high-quality barrier installations for crowd protection in response to rising vehicle attack threats in the UK and globally. Our mission is to safeguard crowds at events and gatherings with professional, crash-tested barrier installations that balance security with an open, community-focused environment.

Our award-winning barriers are modular, lightweight, crash-tested, and easily deployable, offering robust protection for pedestrians. With a National Distribution network across England and Scotland, we can provide rapid, cost-effective deployment on short notice.

Purpose of the Role

As an Installation Supervisor, you will oversee and manage the quality, compliance, and safety of all barrier installations, ensuring each project adheres to CAD designs, is tested and verified, and aligns with Counter Terrorism protocols, including the required stand off distances. This position is integral to maintaining Crowdguard's commitment to excellence and safety in the HVM (Hostile Vehicle Mitigation) market.

This is a career defining opportunity to lead site installations for a forward-thinking organisation and contribute to shaping a best in class business. You will work closely with the leadership team, providing both oversight and hands on support for a range of high profile events, sites, and projects.
