  • Ensure projects are delivered to the highest safety, quality, and compliance standards.

  • Skills & Experience
  • Strong knowledge and hands on experience of PLC systems
  • Strong knowledge of IT networks, server infrastructure, and core security systems.
  • Proven experience in the design, delivery, and integration of large-scale security systems (CCTV, access control, perimeter detection, etc.).
  • Hands-on experience in installation, testing, and commissioning of electronic security solutions.
  • Familiarity with regulatory compliance, licensing processes, and industry standards.
  • Strong technical documentation skills, including ITPs, O&M manuals, and as-built records.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work under pressure in high-security environments.
  • Relevant qualifications in engineering, IT, or electronic security (or equivalent industry experience).

  • Why Join Us?
  • Work on some of the most challenging and rewarding security projects in the country.
  • Be part of a highly skilled, collaborative team committed to delivering excellence.
  • Opportunity to work on both the design and hands-on delivery side of projects.
  • * Competitive remuneration and career development opportunities within a growing national business.
