    • Install and configure electric locking devices, door controllers, and sensors in accordance with site-specific requirements.
    • Integrate CCTV and access control systems with networks, Wi-Fi, and mobile apps for remote management.
    • Manage and fine-tune video analytics and system alerts to align with the customer's operational needs.
  • Installation & Commissioning:
    • Install and commission small to medium-sized security systems, including IP cameras, video recorders, access control hardware, and cabling.
    • Set up and integrate Paxton and OpenPath systems, including controllers, door hardware, and mobile access features.
    • Test installed systems to ensure full functionality and provide end-user training on operations and troubleshooting.
  • Project Coordination & Reporting:
    • Coordinate with clients and project teams to schedule installations, upgrades, and service calls.
    • Maintain accurate service records, including programming logs, wiring diagrams, and as-built documentation.
    • Ensure compliance with industry standards (e.g., NFPA, ADA) and safety protocols (e.g., OSHA).
  • Customer Engagement:
    • Act as the primary point of contact for clients, providing timely updates and technical insights.
    • Offer recommendations for system enhancements and upgrades to meet evolving client needs.
    • Deliver exceptional customer service, fostering long-term relationships with SMBE clients.
Technical Skills & Troubleshooting Expertise:
  • Electric Strikes & Mag Locks:
    • Diagnose and repair issues with electric strikes, mag locks, and door hardware to ensure reliable operation.
    • Verify proper power supply and wiring, ensuring fail-safe/fail-secure configurations operate correctly.
  • Relays, Door Contacts, and Sensors:
    • Test and troubleshoot relays, door sensors, and contacts to ensure doors and entry points function as intended.
    • Identify and resolve issues with alarm contacts, tamper switches, and environmental sensors connected to the system.
  • Readers & Controllers:
    • Troubleshoot and configure badge readers, biometric scanners, keypads, and mobile credential systems.
    • Diagnose wiring or communication issues between readers and controllers and resolve connectivity failures.
  • Wiring, Power Supplies, and Network Integration:
    • Inspect wiring infrastructure for faults and replace damaged cables as necessary.
    • Verify and configure PoE, 24V DC power supplies, and other low-voltage systems.
    • Troubleshoot network issues, including IP conflicts and connectivity problems with NVRs, controllers, and devices.
Qualifications:
  • Experience:
    • 5-9 years of experience in CCTV, access control, or electronic security systems fieldwork.
    • Hands-on experience with Avigilon, Motorola, Paxton, OpenPath, or similar SMBE-targeted security platforms.
    • Familiarity with cloud video management systems and mobile access control apps.
  • Technical Skills:
    • Strong understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, PoE, VLANs) and basic troubleshooting tools (e.g., ping, trace).
    • Proficient in programming, integration, and configuration of video and access control systems.
    • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, wiring diagrams, and schematics.
  • Certifications (Preferred):
    • Certifications in Avigilon, Motorola, Paxton, or OpenPath systems are highly desirable.
    • Networking certifications (e.g., CompTIA Network+) are a plus.
    • OSHA 10/30 or other relevant safety certifications preferred.
  • Soft Skills:
    • Strong communication and customer engagement skills.
