Security Technician III (Security Systems Integration)
About The Position
Superior Alarm Systems (SAS) is seeking a Technician III for their field team in the Bay Area. This role involves leading end-to-end installations of commercial security systems, including access control, IP video surveillance (CCTV), intrusion detection, and intercom/specialty devices. The technician will be responsible for terminating, labeling, and testing low-voltage cabling, commissioning systems, and resolving field-level issues. This position requires the ability to read and interpret engineered drawings, mentor junior technicians, and maintain high-quality standards for all installations. The role is for someone who takes pride in doing the job right the first time and is ready to take on a leadership role on the job site.
Requirements
- 3–5+ years of commercial security installation experience — pharmaceutical, industrial, institutional, or enterprise environments preferred
- Demonstrated ability to independently install and commission access control hardware, IP cameras, intrusion systems, and electrified door components
- Proficiency in reading and interpreting wiring diagrams, blueprints, and system schematics
- Experience with Genetec, Lenel, or Bosch platforms (at least one required; all three is a strong advantage)
- Ability to work independently in the field with minimal supervision — you manage your day, your work, and your quality
- Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
- Candidates without commercial systems experience will not be considered. Residential-only backgrounds do not apply.
- If you have fewer than 3 years of hands-on commercial security installation experience, this position is not a fit.
Nice To Haves
- Experience on large-scale or multi-phase commercial projects — you've seen a job from mobilization through closeout
- Familiarity with Bluebeam for markup and D-Tools for documentation
- History of mentoring or guiding junior technicians on active job sites
- Any relevant certifications: ESA/NTS, manufacturer certifications (Genetec, Lenel, Bosch), or low-voltage licensing
- Comfort working in high-security, high-stakes environments where first impressions matter
Responsibilities
- Lead installations end-to-end — from rough-in through commissioning — on commercial security systems across access control, IP video surveillance (CCTV), intrusion detection, and intercom/specialty devices
- Terminate, label, and test low-voltage cabling to a professional standard — clean runs, proper management, no shortcuts
- Commission and verify system functionality across integrated platforms; resolve field-level issues without escalation
- Read and work from engineered drawings — you interpret prints, not wait for someone to explain them
- Mentor Technician I and II team members on site; you set the bar for workmanship and pace
- Support Technician IV with jobsite coordination, scheduling, and quality control
- Document accurately — time entries, job progress, punch items — in SAS project tracking systems
- Hold the quality standard — every installation you touch is neat, labeled, tested, and ready for inspection
Benefits
- Up to 95% of medical premiums covered — plus dental and vision
- 401(k)
- Company laptop provided
- Two weeks PTO + 7 sick days + 7 paid holidays
- A clear path to Technician IV
