Systems Engineer - Physical Security, Access Control & Video
About The Position
Our client is a growing, family-owned Midwest technology integrator delivering enterprise networking, cybersecurity, cloud, and physical security under one roof. Customers increasingly want one partner for the network and for the cameras and badge readers protecting it. That is the model this company built, and its physical security practice is the fastest-moving part of the business. In Columbus you join an established local team with a real project book and enterprise and higher-education accounts on day one. You are not building from zero, and you are not slotting into someone else's rigid process either. The honest version: this is a field seat. Expect roughly 75% of your time on customer sites and up to 20% overnight travel, and you will often be the only company representative on a jobsite. If you want to program access control from behind a desk, this is the wrong seat.
Requirements
- Hands-on installation and commissioning of access control and video surveillance systems.
- Experience with Genetec, Avigilon, and/or Milestone.
- Ability to run a jobsite solo as the on-site subject matter expert.
- Fluency in low-voltage wiring, hardware, and security networks.
- Self-driven and comfortable with ambiguity.
- Polished, professional, and high-integrity demeanor on customer sites.
- Senior security technician or systems engineer at a smaller integrator who already does everything - install, program, commission, and own the customer.
