Access Control Tech 3
Critical Edge•Memphis, TN
•Onsite
About The Position
Critical Edge is a physical security integrator serving municipalities, healthcare systems, industrial facilities, and commercial clients across Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. We design and install video surveillance, access control, and intercom systems, and we're growing our Memphis field team. The Level 3 Low Voltage Technician is our most experienced field role below Lead Technician. This person works independently, mentors junior techs, and can be trusted to represent Critical Edge on-site with minimal supervision.
Requirements
- 4+ years of hands-on experience in low voltage/security systems installation, with at least 2 years working at a lead or senior technician level
- Working knowledge of access control systems (any major brand; Genetec, Software House, Lenel, or similar strongly preferred)
- Experience with IP camera systems and VMS platforms — prior exposure to Genetec, Motorola, Hanwha, or i-PRO is a plus
- Solid understanding of structured cabling standards and basic networking (IP addressing, VLANs, PoE)
- Comfortable reading construction drawings and low-voltage system schematics
- Valid driver's license and ability to travel regionally, including occasional overnight trips
- Strong communication skills — this role interacts directly with clients, not just other technicians

- Diagnose and resolve system issues in the field — network connectivity, power, device failures — without escalating routine problems
