Permanent | Full-Time | No Micromanagement

Tired of being just another name on a job sheet? This is an opportunity to join a well-established and growing security systems specialist that values its engineers, invests in training, and focuses on quality installations and service - not rushed jobs or shortcuts.

The company delivers security system design, installation, servicing, and maintenance across commercial, industrial, and high-end residential environments. Their reputation is built on technical competence, reliability, and long-term client relationships, not unrealistic KPIs or constant pressure.

Due to continued growth, they are seeking an experienced Security Service & Maintenance Engineer to join their Manchester-based team.

• Diagnose faults and carry out first-time fixes where possible

• Replace devices, controllers, cameras, and system components

• Ensure all work meets relevant standards and company procedures

• Complete clear service and maintenance documentation

• Represent the company professionally on client sites

Sites include commercial offices, retail and hospitality, industrial facilities, and high-end residential properties. You'll manage your own workload and van stock with genuine technical support when required.

Essential:

• Experience in security system servicing, maintenance, or installation

• Strong fault-finding skills across at least two disciplines (CCTV, intruder, access control)

• Good understanding of industry standards and best practice

• Full UK driving licence

• Professional attitude and attention to detail

Desirable:

• Experience with multiple manufacturers

• SSAIB or NSI environment experience
