Security Installation Foreman - Access Control

Job Description

Job Description

LINX is hiring a Security Installation Foreman to lead a crew of up to 10 technicians on commercial construction projects across Denver and the Front Range. This is a working foreman role for someone with real hands on time installing and commissioning Genetec, our primary access control and video management platform, along with Avigilon video management and Software House / CCure 9000 access control systems.

If your background is CCTV installation, intrusion alarm service, or residential security, this isn't the right fit. If you've spent years running access control crews on occupied commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, and corporate campuses, keep reading.

Pay: $41.00–$47.00/hour depending on experience level

Where This Role Fits at LINX

Technician I → Technician II → Technician III → Lead Technician → Foreman → Superintendent → Project Manager → Senior Project Manager

What You'll Be Doing

Crew Leadership & Site Management

• Lead and directly supervise a crew of up to 10 security installation technicians on active commercial construction jobsites
• Own daily manpower planning, labor allocation, and materials coordination to hit project milestones
• Mentor and train Technician I through III staff on Genetec, Avigilon, Software House / CCure 9000, I-Star, Mercury Security, and HID installation and programming standards
• Delegate daily task assignments and enforce LINX installation standards across the crew

System Integration & Technical Oversight

• Interpret and apply project drawings, door hardware schedules, cabling standards, wiring schematics, relay logic, and electrical circuitry to guide crew installation work
• Oversee programming, configuration, and commissioning of Genetec access control and video management systems, along with Avigilon video management and Software House / CCure 9000 access control systems
• Troubleshoot access control and video surveillance issues at the crew level before they become schedule risks
• Perform daily QA/QC review of technician installation and termination work

Schedule, Quality & Compliance

• Deliver crew output on schedule, coordinating directly with the Project Manager on progress, blockers, and milestone risk
• Enforce safety management and HR policy compliance across the crew daily
• Ensure all installed work meets contractual scope, technical specification, and LINX quality standards
• Conduct daily site walks to verify jobsite condition, safety compliance, and installation quality

Communication & Coordination

• Provide daily progress updates to the Project Manager on schedule status, crew productivity, and open issues
• Coordinate directly with trade partners, GC site supervisors, and other LINX teams on scope and scheduling conflicts
• Attend coordination meetings representing the security scope of work
  

Minimum Requirements

Required

• 5+ years of commercial security integration experience, including hands on access control and video surveillance installation, programming, and commissioning (not primarily CCTV monitoring installation or intrusion alarm service)
• Direct hands on installing and commissioning experience with Genetec access control and video management systems
• Direct hands on installing and commissioning experience with Avigilon video management systems and Software House / CCure 9000 access control systems
• Proven crew leadership experience directly supervising a security installation crew of 10 or more technicians on commercial construction projects

Preferred

• OSHA 30
• Manufacturer certifications on I-Star controllers, Mercury Security panels, or HID credential systems
• Direct experience managing subcontractor and trade partner relationships

This Role Is Probably Not Right For You If

• Your security experience is primarily residential alarm or camera installation rather than commercial access control integration
• You install and service CCTV or intrusion detection systems but have limited or no hands on access control programming experience on Genetec, Avigilon, or Software House / CCure 9000
• You're a low voltage generalist whose exposure to security scope is incidental, with most of your background in structured cabling, fire alarm, or AV
  

Compensation & Benefits

Pay Rate: $41.00 to $47.00 per hour, depending on experience

Benefits :

• 401(k) with 50% employer match on first 5% contributed
