- Safely carry out installation and maintenance tasks at heights using step ladders, extension ladders, and powered access equipment (e.g., cherry pickers/MEWPs) for high-level CCTV, barriers, and door automation.
- Work comfortably and professionally within sensitive operational sites, including healthcare facilities and mortuaries, strictly following hygiene and safety protocols.
- Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve hardware, software, and networking issues efficiently.
- Provide high-quality field support, carrying out routine maintenance and reactive service calls.
- Work cleanly, safely, and in full compliance with industry standards, Working at Height Regulations, and site safety guidelines.
- Deliver excellent customer service, showing empathy and clear communication when working in public-facing or high-sensitivity environments.
- Work independently and participate in an on-call rota if required.
