Job description

We’re partnering with a well-established, family-owned electrical and systems integration contractor with a strong reputation across the Pacific Northwest. The business is continuing to grow its specialist systems division and offers long-term stability, technical training, and the opportunity to develop across electrical, controls, networking, and electronic security systems.

The Role

We’re looking for an Electrician / Technician to join a specialist Detention Electronics team supporting correctional and detention facilities throughout OR, WA - with some projects in ID.

The role is focused around troubleshooting, maintenance and problem solving. You’ll work across a mixture of low-voltage electrical, security electronics, controls, networking, CCTV, access control and electronic locking systems.

Responsibilities will include:

• Installing, terminating, testing, troubleshooting, and repairing low-voltage systems
• Working with CCTV, access control, electronic/pneumatic locks, intercoms, and related security equipment
• Troubleshooting electrical circuits, relays, power supplies, controls, and field devices
• Working with structured cabling, copper, fiber, Ethernet, PoE, and network-connected equipment
• Supporting PLC/HMI-controlled systems
• Reading electrical drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, and project specifications
• Assisting with system startup, testing, commissioning, and customer handover
• Coordinating with customers, contractors, other trades, and project teams

What We’re Looking For

You do not need experience across every system listed above. We’re interested in candidates from electrical, low-voltage, security systems, controls, or integration backgrounds who have strong troubleshooting skills and are keen to broaden their technical expertise.

Experience with any combination of CCTV, access control, electronic locking, PLC/HMI systems, networking, fiber, structured cabling, or detention electronics would be highly relevant.

Preferred:

• Washington Limited Energy 06/EL06 license or trainee status
• Oregon LEA license or trainee status

Travel:

You can be based remote in WA, OR or ID - projects are mainly around the i5 corridor and travel is Mon-Thurs with every weekend at home.

Training and orientation will be provided for 2 weeks out of their Portland HQ, followed by on the job training afterwards if needed. It's a full time role with benefits.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys solving complex technical problems and wants exposure to a much broader range of systems than a traditional electrical or low-voltage role.
