What are the responsibilities and job description for the Security Installation Technician position at First Call Security Innovations?
Join First Call Security Innovations as a Level 2–3 Security Technician and become part of one of the fastest-growing low-voltage security companies in Texas. We are looking for experienced, motivated technicians who take pride in their workmanship, communicate professionally, and want to grow with a company that is actively expanding across Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. This is not just another technician position — we are building a strong long-term team and looking for individuals who want career growth, leadership opportunities, and the ability to work on large-scale commercial security projects throughout the state.
The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in commercial security installations and service work, including access control systems, CCTV/surveillance systems, structured cabling, and low-voltage troubleshooting. As a Level 2–3 technician, you should be comfortable working independently in the field, completing service calls, assisting with project execution, training lower-level technicians when needed, and handling day-to-day field responsibilities with minimal supervision. You should understand how to maintain professionalism on active job sites while representing the company in front of customers, project managers, and other trades.
Daily responsibilities may include installing and troubleshooting card readers, electric strikes, mag locks, request-to-exit devices, motion detectors, intercoms, IP cameras, NVRs, network equipment, and structured cabling infrastructure. Candidates should be comfortable running and terminating Cat5e/Cat6 cable, working in MDFs/IDFs, labeling and dressing cable properly, reading blueprints and floor plans, and assisting with system testing and commissioning. Experience with access control and surveillance platforms such as Verkada, Avigilon, Genetec, Lenel, DSX, Brivo, Axis, OpenPath, or similar systems is highly preferred. Experience with conduit work, lift work, and commercial construction environments is also a major plus.
This role requires someone who can think critically in the field and solve problems as they arise. We are looking for technicians who understand that every project is different and who can adapt quickly while maintaining high-quality workmanship. Attention to detail is extremely important. We want technicians who take ownership of their work, keep clean and organized job sites, communicate issues before they become problems, and understand the importance of timelines, customer relationships, and accountability.
At First Call Security Innovations, culture matters. We are building a team environment where hard work, reliability, communication, and professionalism are recognized and rewarded. We work on a wide variety of projects including hospitals, schools, municipal facilities, office buildings, industrial sites, retail environments, and large commercial facilities. No two weeks are the same, and technicians who enjoy fast-paced environments and challenging projects will fit in well here.
We are not looking for someone who simply wants to clock in and clock out. We are looking for technicians who want to grow their career, increase their skillset, and be part of a company with major goals and long-term vision. As the company continues to expand, there will be opportunities for advancement into lead technician, project management, field supervision, and management roles for the right individuals who prove themselves in the field.
Requirements for this position include prior commercial low-voltage/security experience, a valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, the ability to work on ladders and lifts, and strong troubleshooting skills. Candidates should be comfortable using hand tools, power tools, testing equipment, and mobile applications used for field reporting and communication. Travel may be required depending on project location, and some after-hours or weekend work may occasionally be necessary depending on customer schedules and project deadlines.
If you are dependable, motivated, technically skilled, and looking for an opportunity to grow with a rapidly expanding company that values its people and its reputation, we would love to speak with you. We are building something big at First Call Security Innovations, and we are looking for the right technicians to grow alongside us.
