Commercial Lead Door Technician

Lead Commercial Door Technician – Access Control & Electrified Hardware

Door King – New Jersey
Job Type: Full-Time
Pay: $30–$40 per hour, based on experience

Door King is looking for an experienced Lead Commercial Door Technician with strong hands-on experience in commercial doors, commercial door hardware, electrified hardware, access control systems, and low-energy automatic door operators.

This is not an entry-level position. We are looking for an experienced technician who can walk onto a commercial job, diagnose the problem, determine what is needed, perform high-quality repairs and installations, and help lead other technicians in the field.

We need someone who can troubleshoot—not just replace parts. You should understand how commercial door systems work mechanically and electrically and be comfortable taking ownership of difficult jobs from start to finish.

What You'll Work On

• Hollow metal and steel doors
• Fire-rated doors and frames
• Aluminum storefront doors
• Commercial glass and entrance systems
• Continuous hinges, pivots, and commercial hinges
• Door closers
• Panic bars and exit devices
• Electric strikes
• Magnetic locks
• Electrified panic hardware
• Electrified locks and other electrified door hardware
• Low-energy automatic door operators
• Push plates, sensors, and activation devices
• Access control systems and related components
• Gate operators and related equipment
• General commercial door repairs and installations

Overhead door experience is a plus, but it is not the primary focus of this position.

Electrical & Access Control Experience

Strong experience with electrified commercial door systems is important for this position.

You should be comfortable diagnosing and troubleshooting low-voltage and electrified door systems and understand how the different components of an entrance system work together.

Experience should include areas such as:

• Electric strikes
• Mag locks
• Electrified exit devices
• Electrified locks
• Low-energy automatic operators
• Sensors and activation devices
• Access control components
• Low-voltage wiring and troubleshooting

We are looking for someone with real field experience with these systems, not someone who has only had limited exposure to them.

Responsibilities

• Diagnose and repair commercial doors, hardware, and entrance systems
• Troubleshoot electrified hardware and access control systems
• Install and service low-energy automatic door operators
• Perform commercial door and hardware installations and repairs
• Lead service calls and installations from start to finish
• Determine appropriate repair methods, materials, and parts
• Accurately identify commercial door parts and hardware
• Assist other technicians with troubleshooting and technical questions
• Help train and guide less-experienced technicians
• Communicate parts, materials, and job requirements clearly to the office
• Provide complete and accurate job notes, photos, and documentation
• Communicate professionally with customers while on site
• Maintain clean and professional jobsites
• Follow Door King procedures, checklists, and company systems
• Take ownership of work quality and job completion

Qualifications

• Significant hands-on commercial door and hardware experience
• Strong knowledge of storefront, hollow-metal, and fire-rated door systems
• Strong experience with electrified door hardware
• Experience with access control systems
• Experience installing and troubleshooting low-energy automatic door operators
• Ability to troubleshoot mechanical and electrical problems independently
• Strong knowledge of closers, panic hardware, hinges, pivots, locks, and related commercial hardware
• Ability to identify required parts and materials
• Comfortable leading jobs and assisting other technicians
• Professional customer communication
• Strong attention to detail
• Dependable and accountable
• Able to follow established procedures and directions
• Valid driver's license

AAADM certification is a strong plus, but is not required.

What We're Looking For

We need someone who can be a leader in the field.

The right person doesn't need someone standing over them telling them every step. They can assess a problem, troubleshoot it, communicate what is needed, and help get the job completed correctly.

At the same time, being a lead technician means being part of a team. You must be willing to communicate with the office, help other technicians, follow company procedures, document your work, and ask questions when necessary.

Compensation

$30–$40 per hour, based on experience and capabilities.

This is a full-time position with Door King and an opportunity to become an important part of our field operation as the company continues to grow.
