Qualifications

Preferred experience includes:

• Understanding of access control wiring, relays, inputs/outputs, power supplies, and basic electrical concepts
• Experience with electric strikes, magnetic locks, request-to-exit devices, door contacts, and card readers

• Ability to read schematics and wiring diagrams
• Experience pulling and terminating low-voltage cable
• Strong mechanical aptitude and attention to detail
• Good communication and customer-service skills
• Ability to work independently and manage time effectively

Experience with additional systems such as video surveillance/CCTV, intrusion detection, intercoms, or other integrated security systems is a plus.

Requirements

• Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record
• Reliable attendance and punctuality
• Ability to safely use ladders and common hand and power tools

• Ability to work above ceilings, on ladders, and in commercial construction environments when necessary
• Ability to pass any background screening required for customer sites
• Willingness to learn new equipment, software, and technologies

What We're Looking For

Technical ability matters, but so does workmanship.

We want someone who takes ownership of their work, troubleshoots problems instead of walking away from them, and understands that the small details of an installation matter. A properly dressed panel, labeled cable, securely mounted reader, and clean job site are all part of doing the job correctly.

If you have experience in access control or commercial low-voltage systems and are looking for a position where your technical skills and quality of work are valued, we'd like to hear from you.
