• Lead installation and retrofit projects from initial setup through final system testing.
• Complete security installations and retrofits at financial institutions and other commercial facilities.

• Interpret construction plans, schematics, and system diagrams.
• Coordinate daily project activities with contractors, project managers, and customer representatives.
• Independently handle service assignments or work alongside other technicians on larger installations.
• Maintain installation records, service documentation, and equipment configurations.
• Help train developing technicians and maintain installation quality standards.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of commercial and/or financial electronic security or low-voltage installation experience.
• Demonstrated expertise in commercial access control, video surveillance, intrusion alarms, and system troubleshooting.
• Ability to program and commission security equipment without constant supervision.
• Knowledge of TCP/IP networking, PoE, switches, and IP-connected systems.
• Ability to interpret technical drawings and installation plans.
• Valid driver's license and ability to meet company vehicle eligibility requirements/clean driving record.
• Ability and willingness to travel throughout Michigan, Ohio, and surrounding states, including overnight stays.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Pacom, Keyscan, Digital Watchdog, Hanwha, Axis, PDK, Honeywell, Bosch, or DMP.
• Security system manufacturer certifications.
• Previous experience leading projects or mentoring technicians.

Compensation & Benefits

• 25–32+ per hour, based on experience.
• Performance-based and annual bonus opportunities.
• Weekly pay and overtime opportunities.
• Medical insurance.
• Dental and vision reimbursement benefits.
• Paid holidays, vacation, and sick leave.
• Company vehicle, paid lodging, and travel expenses.
• Company-supported per diem arrangements.
• Company-provided technology, uniforms, and safety equipment.
• Paid training and employee referral bonuses.

Travel & Work Environment

• Technicians typically dispatch from home to project locations rather than reporting daily to a central office.
• Projects include work throughout the Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Lansing regions, with travel across Michigan and northern Ohio as needed. Multi-day assignments and overnight travel are part of the position.
• Work is primarily commercial installation and retrofit projects, with a mix of independent work and team-based installations.
