A fantastic opportunity for a service leaver or ex‑Forces professional to launch a new career within the high‑security technology and construction protection industry. You will be stepping into a specialist position that values discipline, adaptability, and technical curiosity – not just qualifications on paper.

What’s in it for you?

• No prior electrical experience needed – full technical training can be provided
• DV clearance will be sponsored for the right candidate
• Long‑term stable role at a prestigious London client site
• Work with cutting‑edge security tech – anti‑tailgating systems, turnstiles, sensors & more
• Become part of a tight‑knit technical team with a strong mission focus

As an on‑site Service Technician, you’ll be embedded within one of the UK’s highest‑profile environments, working with advanced access control and monitoring systems. This isn’t just maintenance, you’ll be ensuring systems critical to national security and safety are functioning at their absolute best.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Preventative maintenance and fault diagnostics
• Supporting emergency callouts and critical fixes when required
• Overseeing on‑site spare parts levels and stock reporting
• Liaising with technical leadership to always ensure operational readiness

What we’re looking for

• A strong electro‑mechanical aptitude – maybe from working on vehicles, weapon systems, or comms in service
• Clear communicator – confident with clients and able to stay calm under pressure
• Security mindset – naturally discrete and trustworthy; SC clearance required (with DV supported after)
• Willingness to be on call occasionally for weekends or bank holidays (as needed)
• Ideal for people from backgrounds such as Royal Engineers, REME, RAF Ground Crew, Navy Technicians, Signals, or similar. Defence‑based engineering, comms, or logistics experience. Anyone used to work in secure, high‑pressure environments
