About the Role
Biztec LLC is seeking a detail-driven Physical Security Design Specialist to engineer the systems our field teams install. In this role, you'll translate client requirements and site conditions into complete, buildable designs for access control, video surveillance, intrusion
detection, and low-voltage systems — producing the drawings, device layouts, and material specifications that drive every project.
Sitting at the intersection of sales, operations, and the field, you'll partner with account executives on scope and estimating, hand clean design packages to project managers and technicians, and ensure every system is designed to code, to budget, and to Biztec's quality
standard. This is an ideal role for someone with a strong engineering mindset and hands-on experience developing physical security design documents.
What You'll Do
Design physical security systems — access control, video surveillance, intrusion/alarm, and low-voltage — based on client requirements, site conditions, and budget.
Produce detailed device layouts, floor plans, riser diagrams, and system design documents using System Surveyor.
Develop bills of materials (BOMs), equipment schedules, and part specifications.
Perform take-offs and support the sales and estimating team with accurate scope and pricing.
Conduct or review site surveys and interpret architectural and construction drawings.
Select appropriate hardware and technologies to meet performance, budget, and code requirements.
Ensure designs comply with NEC, NFPA, ADA, and local AHJ requirements.
Prepare permit, submittal, and closeout documentation, including as-built drawings.
Collaborate with account executives, project managers, and field technicians to ensure designs are practical and buildable.
Maintain design standards, templates, and documentation for consistency across projects.
Stay current on products, technologies, codes, and industry best practices.
What You Bring
Required
3–5 years of experience in physical security, low-voltage, or related system design or drafting.
Proficiency with System Surveyor (or similar security system design and site-survey software).
Strong working knowledge of access control, video surveillance, intrusion, and low-voltage systems.
Ability to read and interpret architectural and construction drawings.
Familiarity with NEC, NFPA, ADA, and applicable codes.
Understanding of IP networking as it relates to security systems.
Strong attention to detail and organizational, documentation, and communication skills.
Valid driver's license for occasional site visits.
Preferred
Degree or certificate in engineering, drafting, design, or a related field.
NICET certification or manufacturer certifications.
ASIS Physical Security Professional (PSP) certification.
An active low-voltage or alarm license.
Experience producing BOMs and supporting estimating.
