The Opportunity

Are you a "commercially savvy" engineer who thrives on complex, high-stakes projects? We are a leading Derby-based security firm known for delivering 24/7 operations in the most demanding environments in the UK.

What We’re Looking For

• Commercial/Industrial Experience: A background in high-security or industrial environments is key (this is not a residential role).

• Technical Skill: Hands-on experience with door access systems (ideally Mercury, Paxton, or Hikvision) and integrated CCTV platforms.

• Reliability: A methodical approach and the ability to work on-site 5 days a week within sensitive environments.
