We've been protecting businesses throughout the Cincinnati Tri-State since 1992. As a family-owned company, we've built our reputation on quality workmanship, strong customer relationships, and taking care of our employees.

As a Commercial Fire Alarm & Security Technician, you'll work on a variety of commercial construction, renovation, and system upgrade projects throughout the Cincinnati Tri-State area.

This is primarily an installation position , where you'll help install, configure, test, and commission commercial life safety and security systems.
