Job description

Security Engineer - Leicestershire

I'm working with a well established electrical and security contractor in Leicestershire that is looking to add a Security Engineer to its growing team. The business has built a strong reputation locally for quality workmanship, reliability and genuinely looking after its staff, which is why many of their engineers have stayed with them long term.

They're now looking for an engineer with solid experience in intruder alarm installation, servicing and fault finding. The role also includes work on intercom, access control, CCTV and occasional fire alarm systems.

You'll be working almost entirely in Leicestershire with a very local patch, meaning no long drives, no overnight stays and a great work life balance. Around 80 percent of their work is domestic, with the remainder being commercial and industrial.

Why this role stands out

• Basic salary up to £41800
• Overtime available for those who want it
• Call out rota of 1 week on and 7 weeks off - call outs are rare due to a strong remote support setup
• Company van provided for work use
• All power tools supplied
• 20 days holiday plus 8 bank holidays
• Supportive team environment with steady growth and a strong pipeline of work

If you're a Security Engineer based in Leicestershire and want a stable, well organised and genuinely supportive place to work, this is a great opportunity.
