Field Technician – Level 2

Overview

Join our dynamic team as a Level 2 Field Technician specializing in Low-Voltage and Security Systems

We are seeking an experienced Field Technician – Level 2 to join our skilled team of technicians, engineers, and project managers. This role is for a technician who already has solid field experience and is progressing toward mastery of the low-voltage security trade.

We hold our technicians to a higher standard. We invest heavily in training, tools, and long-term development, and we expect our technicians to actively invest in their own growth as professionals.
