We are looking for an experienced Security Commissioning Engineer to join our expanding security team.

This is a field-based role covering customer sites across the Leinster region. You will lead the setup, testing, and handover of complex electronic security systems for major data centres, pharmaceutical plants, critical infrastructure, and large commercial buildings.

If you have strong technical skills in Lenel OnGuard, LenelS2, and Milestone XProtect, enjoy working on large-scale sites, and like leading the technical delivery from start to finish, this is a great opportunity to make an impact.

You will make a difference by:

• Traveling to customer sites across the Leinster region to set up, test, and troubleshoot integrated security systems.
• Leading on-site commissioning for large, complex projects.
• Configuring and testing Access Control (Lenel OnGuard and LenelS2) and CCTV / VMS (Milestone XProtect) platforms.
• Managing camera setups, video storage, recording schedules, and system optimization.
• Setting up IP-based security devices including cameras, controllers, intercoms, and network hardware.
• Carrying out Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), and client witness testing.
• Working closely with project managers, clients, and subcontractors to ensure smooth project delivery.
• Producing clear commissioning reports, as-built records, and handover documentation.
• Providing client training and technical support during handover.

What we are looking for:

• Hands-on background commissioning enterprise-level security systems (Access Control & CCTV).
• Solid working knowledge of Lenel OnGuard / LenelS2 and Milestone XProtect.
• Good grasp of TCP/IP networks, VLANs, switches, routers, and Windows servers/databases.
• Autonomous problem-solving skills and a full driving licence to travel daily across the Leinster region.

Desirable but not essential:

• Official manufacturer certifications in Lenel or Milestone, or a relevant qualification in Electronics, IT, or Engineering.
• Practical knowledge of SQL databases and Windows Server environments.

What can we offer?

• Flexible Working Hours: Achieve a healthy work-life balance with our flexible working arrangements.
• Pension Plan: Secure your future with our generous pension scheme, with employer contributions up to 10%.
• Time Off: Recharge and rejuvenate with 26 days of annual leave (plus bank holidays), and the option to buy or sell an additional 5 days!
