What You'll Be Doing

Regardless of tier, your core work is hands-on commercial security system installation on active construction jobsites. As you advance through the tiers, your scope of responsibility expands from executing installation under direction to independently owning complete system integration and eventually leading other technicians.

Installation & Rough-In

• Install low voltage commercial security systems including access control, video surveillance, and associated infrastructure across commercial construction environments
• Perform cabling rough-in across all media types — pulling, routing, and securing cable in compliance with project specifications and industry standards
• Install conduit, cable tray, and pathway systems as required by project scope
• Install and terminate security hardware including door controllers, card readers, HID credential readers, electric strikes, magnetic locks, request-to-exit devices, and door position switches
• Install and mount IP and analog cameras, NVRs, DVRs, and associated video surveillance hardware

Termination, Testing & Documentation

• Terminate all media types accurately and to specification — copper, coax, and fiber as applicable
• Perform cabling testing and produce complete, accurate documentation — test results, as-builts, and project close-out records
• Verify system performance after installation and document results in compliance with project requirements

System Integration

• Program, configure, and commission access control systems including:
  Software House / CCure 9000, I-Star controllers, Mercury Security panels, HID credential management, and Avigilon video management systems
• Troubleshoot access control and video surveillance systems at the hardware, software, and network level — identifying root causes and resolving issues independently
• Configure LAN/WAN network settings for IP-based security devices — assigning IP addresses, configuring VLANs, and verifying network connectivity for access control panels and IP cameras
• Perform system updates, maintenance, and service work on installed security systems

Customer & Jobsite Professionalism

• Represent LINX professionally on every jobsite — occupied commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, and schools require a higher standard of conduct, appearance, and communication than ground-up construction
• Communicate clearly with clients, facilities managers, and GC site supervisors regarding work scope, schedule, and any issues that arise
• Maintain a clean, organized, and compliant work area throughout the project
