- Traveling overnight when projects require multi-day stays
Who This Position Fits
- Experienced access control technicians
- Commercial electricians looking to expand into integration work
Entry-level candidates who are comfortable running wire, installing hardware, and working with software-based systems
You should be comfortable using tools, reading diagrams, following instructions, and learning new systems.
Qualifications
- 2+ years of electrical or security system experience preferred (not required for the right entry-level candidate)
- Ability to read wiring diagrams and blueprints
- Basic understanding of low-voltage wiring and networking is helpful
- Comfortable using a laptop and Microsoft 365
- Valid driver’s license with clean driving record
- Ability to lift 50+ lbs
- Strong time management and communication skills

Full-time, Monday–Friday
Pay: $20–32/hr depending on experience and skill level with travel per diem when applicable
