Job description

Security Technician III (Security Systems Integration)

Company: Superior Alarm Systems (SAS)

Superior Alarm Systems is a commercial security integrator operating at the high end of the market — pharmaceutical facilities, entertainment studios, global manufacturing campuses, and executive-level environments. Our clients have complex, integrated security ecosystems, and our technicians are expected to match that standard on day one.

We're expanding our Bay Area field team and looking for a Technician III who can own installations independently, solve problems without hand‑holding, and is ready to take on a leadership role on the job site.

What You’ll Do

• Lead installations end‑to‑end — from rough‑in through commissioning — on commercial security systems across access control, IP video surveillance (CCTV), intrusion detection, and intercom/specialty devices.
• Terminate, label, and test low‑voltage cabling to a professional standard — clean runs, proper management, no shortcuts.
• Commission and verify system functionality across integrated platforms; resolve field‑level issues without escalation.
• Read and work from engineered drawings — interpret prints on your own.
• Mentor Technician I and II team members on site; set the bar for workmanship and pace.
• Support Technician IV with jobsite coordination, scheduling, and quality control.
• Document accurately — time entries, job progress, punch items — in SAS project tracking systems.
• Hold the quality standard — every installation you touch is neat, labeled, tested, and ready for inspection.

What You Bring

• 3–5+ years of commercial security installation experience — pharmaceutical, industrial, institutional, or enterprise environments preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to independently install and commission access control hardware, IP cameras, intrusion systems, and electrified door components.
• Proficiency in reading and interpreting wiring diagrams, blueprints, and system schematics.
• Experience with Genetec, Lenel, or Bosch platforms (at least one required; all three is a strong advantage).
• Ability to work independently in the field with minimal supervision—manage your day, your work, and quality.
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record.

Candidates without commercial systems experience will not be considered. Residential‑only backgrounds do not apply.

What Sets You Apart

• Experience on large‑scale or multi‑phase commercial projects.
• Familiarity with Bluebeam for markup and D‑Tools for documentation.
• History of mentoring or guiding junior technicians on active job sites.
• Relevant certifications: ESA/NTS, manufacturer certifications (Genetec, Lenel, Bosch), or low‑voltage licensing.
• Comfort working in high‑security, high‑stakes environments where first impressions matter.

What SAS Offers

• $36–$42/hr based on verified experience and systems knowledge.
• Up to 95% of medical premiums covered — plus dental and vision.
• 401(k).
• Company laptop provided.
• Two weeks PTO + 7 sick days + 7 paid holidays.
• A clear path to Technician IV.
• Work on the most complex, high‑profile installations in the Bay Area.

The Honest Picture

This role is for someone who takes pride in doing the job right the first time. SAS has a reputation for technical excellence and we protect it — we need technicians who share that standard, not just show up for a paycheck.

If you’re a seasoned commercial tech who wants complex work, a team that respects your skills, and a clear path to the next level — we want to talk.

This is a senior‑level field technician role. If you have fewer than 3 years of hands‑on commercial security installation experience, this position is not a fit. If you’re an experienced security technician who thrives in a leadership role and takes pride in delivering high‑quality work, we’d love to hear from you.
