  • Troubleshoot reader, lock, and panel malfunctions

  • Support badge issuance and deactivation processes

Documentation & Compliance

  • Ensure systems comply with company policy and applicable regulatory or insurance requirements

Vendor & Stakeholder Coordination

  • Maintain positive relationships with integrators, manufacturers, and service vendors

  • Scope and quote system expansions; support capital project planning

  • Support Security Operations and site staff with day-to-day system needs

  • Mount and configure cameras, NVRs/DVRs, PoE switches, access control panels, and door hardware (readers, strikes, maglocks)

  • Rack and cable-manage servers and network equipment in data closets and server rooms

  • Coordinate with electricians, IT, and general contractors on new construction and retrofit projects

Knowledge and Skills Requirements:

  • Familiarity with corporate policies and practices related to physical security, investigations, loss prevention, guard force operations and management.
