We are looking to develop long term working relationships with professional self employed engineers experienced in the installation, commissioning, maintenance and fault finding of modern electronic security systems.

This is an ad hoc subcontracting opportunity
, ideal for an established security engineer looking for additional local work alongside their existing customers and commitments.

You will attend residential and commercial properties to undertake security system installations, upgrades, maintenance, repairs and fault finding.

Our work covers five main areas:

• Wired and wireless intruder alarm installation
• Alarm system upgrades and replacements
• PIR detectors and door/window contacts
• Control panels, keypads and external sounders
• Smart alarm systems and mobile app configuration
• System commissioning and testing

Engineers do not necessarily need to specialise equally in every system. Applicants with strong experience across several of these areas are encouraged to apply.

Ideally, you will have:

• Proven security systems installation experience
