Access Control Technician

Job Description

Job Description

We are hiring Access Control Technicians (Tech I and Tech II level) to support the deployment of security and low voltage systems across data center projects in the Columbus, OH metro area. Work will include a mix of new construction builds and installations within existing, operational data center environments, with some local travel required to sites throughout the Columbus market.

This is a great opportunity to join a growing, mission-critical data center program with a team that values attitude, communication, and work ethic just as much as technical skill. If you have access control or low voltage experience and are looking for a stable project with room to grow into Tech III and lead roles — we want to hear from you.

• Pulling, routing, labeling, and dressing low voltage and structured cabling

• Card readers and optical/security devices
• Wiring and terminating access control panels, controllers, and boards
• Installing and supporting structured cabling infrastructure and MDF/head-end room buildouts
• Mounting, installing, and wiring IP cameras throughout the facility
• Assisting with IP address assignment and basic camera configuration
• Supporting firmware upgrades and downgrades on security devices as required
• Testing, troubleshooting, and verifying proper operation of installed systems
• Reading and interpreting wiring diagrams, riser drawings, and installation plans
• Maintaining clean, organized, and professional installations
• Traveling locally between project sites within the Columbus, OH market as assigned
• Working within both active new-construction sites and existing, occupied data center environments, following all applicable safety and access protocols
• Coordinating with project leads, PMs, and general contractors
• Following site-specific requirements, safety protocols, and security procedures

What You Need

• Experience in access control, security device installation, structured cabling, or low voltage systems
• Ability to pass all required site onboarding and background/security requirements
• Ability to work safely on active construction sites and within live data center environments
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for local travel between sites in the Columbus, OH market
• Standard low voltage hand tools
• Strong communication skills and a team-first mindset
• Positive attitude and willingness to learn and grow

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience as an Access Control Technician I or II, or equivalent field experience
• Experience with access control systems and field hardware installation
• Familiarity with MDF/IDF environments
• Experience reading blueprints, wiring diagrams, and riser drawings
• Background in data center, commercial construction, or mission-critical environments
