Job description

Position Overview

Electronic Security Services, Inc. (ESSI) is expanding our field operations team and seeking Electronic Security Technicians and Installers with low-voltage experience—or a strong desire to learn the trade.

We are looking for dependable, detail-oriented technicians who take pride in their work and want long-term growth in the electronic security industry. Experience with access control, video surveillance, intercoms, networking, or cloud-based systems is highly valued, but we also welcome motivated candidates ready to grow with training and mentorship.

What You’ll Be Working On

  • Install, service, and repair access control, video surveillance (IP cameras, NVRs), intercom systems, intrusion alarms, and gate operators
  • Work with modern systems such as Brivo access control, Eagle Eye Networks, 2N intercoms, and other leading security platforms
  • Perform troubleshooting of hardware, wiring, software, and system communication issues
  • Diagnose and resolve networking-related issues (IP addressing, PoE, switches, connectivity)
  • Read and interpret system diagrams, wiring schematics, and product manuals
  • Replace, repair, or upgrade defective equipment to manufacturer specifications
  • Communicate clearly with dispatch, project managers, and other technicians
  • Provide professional, solution-focused communication to customers on-site
  • Maintain accurate paperwork, job notes, and system documentation
  • Keep a clean, organized company vehicle and maintain proper truck inventory
  • Safely lift and carry tools and equipment (up to 40 lbs), work on ladders/lifts, and in confined spaces as needed

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience with electronic security systems preferred (access control, CCTV, intrusion, intercoms, gates)
  • Low-voltage wiring experience (CAT5/6, RS-485, reader wiring, door hardware integration)
  • Familiarity with IP-based systems and basic networking is a plus
  • Experience with Brivo, Eagle Eye, 2N, or similar platforms is a strong plus—but not required
  • Ability to troubleshoot logically and follow technical documentation
  • Strong work ethic, reliability, and attention to detail
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Good communication skills and professional on-site demeanor

Education & Requirements

  • High School Diploma or equivalent required
  • Trade school or technical training a plus
  • Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record
  • Ability to pass a background check
  • Mechanical aptitude and comfort using hand and power tools

Schedule

  • Monday – Friday | 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM
  • Overtime available
  • Full-time, long-term opportunity

Benefits & Perks

  • Competitive hourly pay based on experience
  • Weekly pay (Direct Deposit available)
  • Generous paid time off and paid holidays
  • Paid training and advancement opportunities
  • Medical benefits
  • 401(k) with company match up to 2.5%
  • Company vehicle and company phone (position-dependent)
