Intruder Alarm Engineer
Gloucestershire & Worcestershire | Field-based
up to £36,000 DOE + company vehicle | Permanent, Full-time
Different sites. Different challenges. One day you could be installing an alarm in a private home. The next, diagnosing a fault at a commercial premises or servicing a system in a school or healthcare setting.
If you enjoy variety, solving problems and working with people, this is an opportunity to put all three into practice.
Pertemps is recruiting an Intruder Alarm Engineer for a well-established, growing security business. We’re looking for someone who combines technical ability with a professional, approachable manner—an engineer who leaves customers feeling confident in both their security system and the service they’ve received.
You can be based anywhere in Gloucestershire or Worcestershire, with your main area of coverage spanning both counties.
A varied role with customers at its heart
You’ll work across residential, commercial, industrial, education and healthcare sites, including high-value homes with sophisticated security requirements.
Every customer and property is different. You’ll need to listen, assess the problem and explain the solution clearly, whether you’re speaking to a homeowner, business owner or facilities manager.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Your work will include:
- Installing and commissioning intruder alarm systems.
- Carrying out servicing and planned preventative maintenance.
- Diagnosing faults, programming equipment and completing repairs.
- Responding to customer call-outs and service requests.
- Demonstrating systems and giving customers practical advice.
- Identifying where improvements could better meet a customer’s needs.
- Completing accurate service records and documentation.
- Delivering careful, tidy workmanship and following health and safety procedures.
A skilled engineer—and a great representative of the business
You may currently be an Intruder Alarm Engineer, Security Systems Engineer, Service Engineer or Installation Engineer.
Alongside your technical experience, you’ll bring excellent customer-facing skills. You’ll be comfortable entering someone’s home or workplace, building rapport and treating their property with care. Discretion and respect for privacy are particularly important when working in high-value homes.
We’re looking for:
- Previous experience in intruder alarms or security systems.
- Strong fault-finding and practical problem-solving skills.
- Experience with a range of alarm systems and manufacturers.
- Clear communication skills and the ability to explain technical information simply.
- A professional, reliable and respectful approach.
- The ability to manage your workload and work independently.
- A full UK driving licence.

- 22 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, with three days reserved for the Christmas and New Year shutdown.
- An additional day’s leave during your birthday week.
