Security Technician III (Security Systems Integration)

Location: Canoga Park, CA

Company: Superior Alarm Systems (SAS)

Who We Are

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 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 — you interpret prints, not wait for someone to explain them
• Mentor Technician I and II team members on site; you 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

These are non-negotiable:

• 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 — you manage your day, your work, and your 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 — you've seen a job from mobilization through closeout
• Familiarity with Bluebeam for markup and D-Tools for documentation
• History of mentoring or guiding junior technicians on active job sites
• Any 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) — because a good company invests in your future, not just your time
• Company laptop provided
• Two weeks PTO + 7 sick days + 7 paid holidays
• A clear path to Technician IV — this isn't a dead-end role; it's a launchpad
• Work on the most complex, high-profile installations in the Bay Area — the kind of projects that build a resume

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 — which means 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.

Ready to Apply?

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.
