Project Details: This is for a two week project with the possibility of being extended to three weeks. Technicians will have the opportunity to work with us on future projects as well.


Position Overview:
We're looking for experienced technicians with a solid foundation in low-voltage systems and access control. If you're interested in expanding your expertise in security installation while working with a reliable company, this could be a good match. You'll receive comprehensive hands-on training, work on diverse commercial projects, and have opportunities to apply your technical problem-solving skills.
This role is designed for professionals who already understand the fundamentals and are looking to develop their skills further in the growing security industry.


What You'll Actually Be Doing:

  • Ability to pass a background check.
  • Problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently
  • Professional attitude with customers - you represent us

What Would Make You Stand Out

  • Previous security system installation experience
  • Knowledge of IP cameras and networking
  • Any relevant certifications
  • Commercial installation background

Please note, we are a growing start-up and work is currently on a part-time / "as-needed" basis. There will be opportunities to assist us on future projects and/or move into a full-time or full-time lead role as we grow our local client base.
