Senior Security System Technician / Installer

ATTENTION SENIOR LEVEL SECURITY SYSTEM/TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM TECHNICIANS/INSTALLERS!!!
TORONTO SECURITY COMPANY PAYING UP TO $45 PER HOUR FOR EXPERT-LEVEL SYSTEMS TECHNICIANS!!!
Are you an extremely experienced field security system or telecommunications installer with expert-level security systems installation, troubleshooting, and repair knowledge?
Do you have 8-10 years of experience (or more) installing/wiring access panels for high-rise residential buildings that use fob entry, CCTV's, automatic door systems, intercom systems, or complex telecommunication/smart home systems?
Randstad has a very established and reputable client in Toronto who is seeking an expert-level senior installation and repair technician to join their growing team.
We are looking for candidates who preferably bring 10+ years of experience installing and servicing the aforementioned multi-dwelling unit access panels, automatic door systems, intercoms, CCTV systems, smart home systems, telecommunications network systems, and even some IT experience doing things like desktop computer installation or data recovery.
Successful candidates would be in decent physical condition, as the position could involve emergency call work where bending, kneeling, crawling, lifting, pulling, and carrying on occasion, as well as standing for extended periods of time will be required. Work is completed both indoors and outdoors, so applicants must be used to (or willing to) spending some of their time working in the Canadian elements year round. Some examples of work sites that will have outdoor exposure are the outdoor areas of residential and commercial buildings and parking structures. Lots of work occurs indoors as well, in condo building lobbies, inside commercial facilities, and even inside residential single-family homes on occasion.
The successful candidate can expect to spend 75% of their time overseeing and assisting with work being completed by Junior and Mid-level Technicians, and the other 25% on their own attending emergency repair calls for more complex systems. Because of the time spent working independently, candidates must be able to do the physicals tasks associated with this type of work, such as crawling into tight spaces to pull conduit, for example.
Candidates MUST have a valid G class license, a clean drivers abstract, and be able to pass a background check.
