IT, Security & Automation Technician

Role Overview

We are seeking a versatile and technically skilled professional to handle the installation, maintenance, and optimization of security systems, network infrastructure, and home/office automation environments. The ideal candidate is a hands-on problem solver who is comfortable working with hardware (cameras, servers, cabling) and possesses enough programming knowledge to script automations and troubleshoot software integrations.

Key Responsibilities

1. CCTV & Security Systems

• Installation, configuration, and maintenance of IP Cameras and NVR/DVR systems.
• Designing camera layouts for optimal coverage and setting up remote viewing capabilities (Mobile/Web).
• Troubleshooting connectivity issues and hardware failures.
• Knowledge of video analytics (motion detection, line crossing) is a plus.

2. Networking & Infrastructure

• Structured cabling (Cat6/Fiber) and termination.
• Configuration of Routers, Switches (Managed/Unmanaged), and Access Points.
• Network administration: VLAN setup, Port Forwarding, DHCP, Static IPs, and Firewall management.
• Ensuring robust Wi-Fi coverage and network security protocols.

3. Server Maintenance

• Setup and maintenance of physical or virtual servers (Windows Server, Linux/Ubuntu, or NAS environments like Synology/TrueNAS).
• Managing backups, RAID configurations, and storage health.
• Running system updates, patches, and monitoring server uptime.

4. Home & Office Automation

• Smart Device Integration:

  Installation and configuration of smart lighting (Lutron, Philips Hue, Shelly), automated curtains and blinds, motorized windows, and climate control systems.

• Access Control & Gate Automation:

  Installation and integration of automated gate motors, comprehensive access control systems (biometric readers, keypads, RFID, smart locks), and video intercoms.

• Centralized Control Systems:

  Setup and programming of automation hubs/controllers (e.g., Home Assistant, Control4, Crestron, Savant, or KNX systems) to create a unified user interface.

• Energy Management:

  Installing and configuring energy monitoring systems to track usage and optimize efficiency through automated scheduling.

5. Programming & Scripting

• Utilizing basic programming skills to create custom scripts for automation logic (Python, Bash, or C++ is preferred).
• API integration: Connecting different subsystems (e.g., linking the CCTV system to the lighting system via API).
• Troubleshooting firmware and software glitches at a code/log level.

Educational Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics Engineering, or a related technical field (Preferred).
• Associate degree or Technical Diploma in Network Administration, Building Automation, or Electrical Systems.
• Relevant vocational training or trade school certification in Low Voltage Systems, Security Technology, or IT Infrastructure.
• High School Diploma or GED required; additional technical coursework is highly valued.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Experience:

  2+ years of experience in low-voltage electronics, IT support, or security system installation.

• Networking:

  Strong understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, Gateway, and Subnetting.

• Hardware:

  Comfortable using power tools, climbing ladders, and running cable in residential or commercial settings.

• Programming:

  Functional knowledge of at least one scripting language (Python, JavaScript, or Lua) or experience with Linux command line.

• Problem Solving:

  Ability to diagnose complex issues where hardware and software intersect.

Preferred (Bonus) Skills

• Certifications: CCNA, CompTIA Network+, or Security+.
• Experience with Virtualization (Proxmox, VMware, Docker).
• Knowledge of IoT protocols (Zigbee, Z-Wave, MQTT).
• Electrical wiring basics (Low voltage vs. High voltage).

Working Conditions

• Must be able to lift equipment required for installation.
• Work may involve crawling in tight spaces (server closets, attics) or working at heights.
