Access Control Technician

Job Title: Access Control Technician II - Data Center | Midland, TX Area


Location: Midland, TX Area (with local travel to project sites throughout the market)


Shift: Day Shift (exact time may flex based on project needs)


Start Date: Immediate


We are hiring an experienced Access Control Technician II to support the deployment of security and low voltage systems across data center projects in the Midland, TX area. Work will include a mix of new construction builds and installations within existing, operational data center environments, with local travel required to sites throughout the Midland 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 solid access control and low voltage experience and are looking to take on more complex work with less oversight - including mentoring junior techs - we want to hear from you.
