Our Electronics Technicians are essential in installing, programming, maintaining, and repairing these complex systems in high-security environments, ensuring compliance with codes, client specifications, and internal standards. With a structured career path, technicians have continuous opportunities for skills development, advancing from foundational technical expertise to leadership roles.

Job Summary:

  • System Installation & Maintenance: Install, configure, and maintain complex security system components and infrastructure with minimal supervision, ensuring that systems function according to design specifications.
  • Technical Tasks: Perform complex troubleshooting and diagnostics, including advanced programming and system integration tasks, independently and collaboratively resolving complex issues on-site.
  • Training & Mentorship: Lead installations and support junior technicians by providing guidance, technical training, and supervising their fieldwork to ensure quality standards.

  • Experience: Minimum of 3 years in electronic security, with knowledge of government and independent certification requirements.
  • Professional Development: Stay current with compliance standards and certifications, network concepts, and industry best practices. Commitment to continuing education.
  • Travel Ability: Ability to travel to projects and stay overnight for varying lengths of time preferred but not required.

Physical Demands & Work Environment:

  • The role demands a high level of professionalism, adaptability, and organizational skills. Technicians must handle prolonged tasks, ability to handle up to 50 pounds, ability to work at heights, and work in diverse environments. This role may involve exposure to varying weather conditions and requires adherence to safety protocols. The position requires maintaining company-issued tools and equipment.
