· * Ability to troubleshoot power and wiring issues independently

· * Experience working with 12V/24VDC systems, including solar power setups

· * Comfortable working on ladders, lifts, or rooftops (15 ft)

· * Laptops and software tools (Wireshark, Angry IP Scanner, ONVIF Device Manager)

· * Hand tools, power tools, crimpers, punchdown tools, and cable testers

· * Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets for IP planning, inventory, and documentation

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)

· * OSHA 10/30 certification or equivalent safety training

· * Hanwha, Paxton, or manufacturer-specific certifications

· * Basic networking certification (CompTIA Network , UEWA, etc.)

Additional Requirements

· * Valid driver’s license with clean record
