  • Collaborate with project managers, clients, subcontractors, and stakeholders to ensure seamless project execution.

  • Maintain and manage detailed documentation, drawings, and change records throughout project lifecycles.

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


Skills & Experience

  • 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.

  • 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.
