  • Collaborate closely with team members, partners, clients, and internal systems to plan projects, schedule technicians, manage materials, and lead all activities tied to installation projects.

  • Lead, support, and develop a team of two to three technical installers—ensuring they have what they need every day (equipment, guidance, resources, and clear direction) while owning team morale and performance.

  • Visit job sites regularly to inspect progress, verify quality, and ensure all SecurAlarm standards and project specifications are being met.

  • Use data and forecasting tools to improve project margins, identify trends, strengthen scheduling accuracy, and drive long-term efficiency.

What You Bring

  • Experience working with low-voltage or integrated security systems (CCTV, access control, alarms, networked systems, etc.)

  • Understanding of IT/network fundamentals (IP addressing, switches, cabling, connectivity, etc.)

  • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, schematics, and job documentation

  • Confidence visiting job sites, conducting walkthroughs, inspecting work, and ensuring safety standards

  • Ability to lead and support field technicians while managing timelines, budgets, and expectations

  • Strong communication skills—keeping all parties in the loop and eliminating surprises

  • Resourcefulness in solving problems for both clients and team members

  • Curiosity and initiative to learn new technology, software, tools, and best practices

  • Exceptional organization skills and attention to detail—particularly scheduling, forecasting, and documentation

  • A genuine passion for creating an outstanding experience for both clients and internal teams

How You Stand Out

  • You anticipate issues before they land on your desk and take action early

  • You bring a strong sense of ownership and pride in delivering excellent work

  • You enjoy developing people and helping them grow into stronger technicians

  • You embrace continuous learning and may pursue industry certifications

  • You champion a positive, supportive, and growth-focused culture
