The right person can walk onto a project, review the scope and drawings, compare them to actual field conditions, identify gaps, develop a workable solution, direct the crew, communicate with the Project Manager, and get the system operational. They understand that real-world installations are not always perfect and are comfortable solving problems responsibly in the field. Access control will be the primary focus of this position, but the technician must also have strong experience with intrusion alarm, video surveillance, networking, and integrated commercial security systems.
