Entry Level Software Developer Jobs in Robins, IA

Tri-City Technologies is hiring an experienced Technician to install, commission, and service IP-based video surveillance and electronic access control systems across our growing project portfolio in Eastern Iowa. This is a hands-on field role for a tech who already knows the work - not an entry-level position.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

• Mounting, configuring, and commissioning IP cameras across enterprise VMS platforms (Genetec, Milestone, Avigilon, and others)
• Installing and programming access control panels, readers, locks, and door hardware across leading platforms (Genetec, Motorola, Acre, Brivo, AMAG, and more)
• Performing server-side system programming and configuration on VMS and access control servers, including basic system administration task.
• System commissioning, end-user training, and turnover documentation
• Service calls and system troubleshooting on existing customer sites
• Working from drawings, BOMs, and submittals - and flagging issues before they become problems in the field
• Supporting security cable installation and testing as the work requires

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 2 years of hands-on field experience installing and commissioning IP-based video surveillance and electronic access control systems (we'll consider strong candidates with less if the foundation is there)
• Working knowledge of network fundamentals - IP addressing, VLANs, PoE, switch configuration basics
• Comfortable navigating Windows and Sequel Server environments and applying basic cybersecurity practices - hardening, account management, patching awareness, and working within customer IT/security policies
• Comfortable terminating category and security cable to industry standards
• Able to read and work from construction drawings and submittals
• Valid driver's license and clean driving record
• BICSI INST1, INST2, or ESS credentials are a plus but not required - we support certification growth
• Manufacturer certifications (Genetec TSE, Milestone MCT, Avigilon, Lenel, Software House, etc.) strongly preferred

This Role Is NOT For:

• Candidates without hands-on field experience installing the systems listed above
• Anyone uncomfortable working independently on customer sites

What We Offer

• IBEW union position with full wage and benefits package - wages and benefits are at the top of the local market, with employer-paid health insurance, pension, and annuity
• Company truck, tools, phone, PPE and modern test equipment
• System programmer(s) supporting the customers and field, local PM teams supporting the technicians, pre-fabrication shop to assist on customer hardware/mounting as needed.
• Variety of work across commercial, higher ed, K-12, healthcare, industrial, financial, data center, and government projects
• Career growth path including support for manufacturer certifications, and progression estimator, programmer, or PM roles
• Stability of a 130-year-old company with in-house electrical, steel erection, prefabrication, and structured cabling teams supporting complete turnkey installations
