SENIOR SECURITY SYSTEM TECHNICIAN / INSTALLER

Experience Matters: We're seeking individuals with 8-10 years (or more) of hands-on experience in installing and wiring access panels for high-rise residential buildings equipped with fob entry, CCTV's, automatic door systems, intercom systems, or intricate telecommunications/smart home systems.

Your Opportunity Awaits: Join our established and reputable client in Toronto, a company that values expertise and is expanding its team. We're in search of senior-level installation and repair technicians.

The Ideal Candidate: Ideally, you bring over a decade of experience installing and servicing multi-dwelling unit access panels, automatic door systems, intercoms, CCTV systems, smart home setups, telecommunications networks, and perhaps even some IT knowledge like desktop computer installation or data recovery.

Physical Prowess: This role may involve emergency call work, requiring physical agility. Bending, kneeling, crawling, lifting, pulling, and carrying may be part of the job. You'll also spend time both indoors and outdoors, so being comfortable in various weather conditions is essential.

Diverse Work Environments: You'll find yourself working in a variety of settings, from outdoor areas of buildings to condo lobbies, commercial facilities, and even residential homes.

Your Role: Expect to spend 75% of your time overseeing and assisting junior and mid-level technicians, and the remaining 25% attending to emergency repair calls for complex systems. Independence is key, as you'll handle tasks that require physical dexterity, such as navigating tight spaces to pull conduit.

Essentials: Candidates must possess a valid G class license, a clean driver's abstract, and the ability to pass a background check.

PLEASE NOTE: We'll only contact candidates who meet the outlined job requirements.
