Engineering and Sales Coordinator

Homeland Safety Systems • Shreveport, LA

14d • Onsite

About The Position

Homeland Safety Systems is a rapidly growing security integrator focused on industrial and commercial security consulting, design, engineering and installation. We specialize in high-end, complex electronic security systems, including access control, video surveillance (CCTV), detention control and communication systems. We serve customers throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas, from industrial and government facilities to schools, correctional facilities and other critical environments.

If you're good with computers, love getting the details right, enjoy variety and want to break into the tech and security industry, this is your starting point. You'll turn blueprints and site photos into detailed floorplans in Visio, help our engineers map out security systems, and help build the proposals that win new projects.

You'll split your time about equally between Engineering and Sales, acting as the liaison between the two teams. That means keeping proposals moving, keeping our CRM (HubSpot) accurate and keeping customers informed. We'll train you, and there's a real path to grow into engineering or sales.
