Company Overview
An established and growing electronic security specialist is looking to appoint a Security Engineer to join its close-knit engineering team.

The business delivers security solutions across a varied portfolio of projects, with a strong presence within the M&E sector alongside commercial environments. The company has built a positive working culture where engineers are trusted to manage their day effectively, supported by an experienced team and given the opportunity to develop their technical skillset.

Personality and attitude are important to the business. They are willing to invest in the right engineer through training and development, making this a particularly good opportunity for someone who has a solid security background but wants to broaden their capabilities.

Role Overview
This is a predominantly installation-focused Security Engineer position, split approximately 60% installation and 40% service.

You'll work across the full project lifecycle, from first fix through to completion, while also attending existing customer sites for servicing and fault finding.

The role will include:

• 1st Fix Installation
• 2nd Fix Installation
• Service & Maintenance
• Fault Finding
• System Testing
• Commissioning
• Customer Handover

Approximately 70% of the work will be on M&E projects, with the remaining 30% across commercial sites.

The core patch covers:

• M25 and surrounding areas
• Central London
• Wider South East
• Occasional projects as far as Birmingham
