Security Engineer

Service & Installation | Basingstoke / Reading / Oxford / Slough / Woking / West Berkshire

£40,000 - £47,000 DOE + Overtime + Bonuses + 25 Days Holiday + Company Vehicle

We're looking for an experienced Security Engineer to join a growing and well-established team, covering Basingstoke, Reading, Oxford, Slough, Woking and the wider West Berkshire area.

This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled engineer with a strong background in security system installation, servicing, maintenance and small works. You'll work across a varied portfolio of commercial sites and high-profile clients, with a company that invests in its engineers and provides the equipment, training and support needed to progress.

The Role

As a Security Engineer, you'll be responsible for the installation, servicing, maintenance and small works of electronic security systems across a range of commercial and private client sites.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Installing, servicing and maintaining CCTV, intruder alarm and access control systems.
  • Carrying out fault-finding, diagnostics and repairs.
  • Completing small works, upgrades, modifications and system expansions.
  • Working with systems including Axis, Hanwha, Galaxy, Texecom and Paxton.
  • Supporting a range of high-profile commercial clients, including business parks, commercial premises and private estates.
  • Completing service documentation and ensuring all works are carried out to a high standard.
  • Managing your own workload and working independently on site, while being supported by an experienced engineering team.
  • Participating in a 1-in-5 call-out rota, with a standby allowance.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
