Worcestershire or Gloucestershire | Field-based
Salary: £35,000 per annum + company vehicle, fuel and benefits
Sophisticated security systems. Prestigious homes. A role where your expertise and customer service make a difference.
Do you take pride in solving technical problems, delivering quality workmanship and giving customers peace of mind?
Pertemps is recruiting for a long-established security systems specialist with access to modern cloud-based and integrated security technology through its wider business.
We’re looking for a Security Systems Engineer based in Worcestershire to deliver tailored security solutions, with a particular focus on private homeowners and high-value homes with advanced security requirements.
This is a customer-facing, business-to-consumer role. Alongside your technical skills, you’ll need the professionalism, discretion and personal approach to build trust when working in someone’s home.
The opportunity
You’ll install, service and commission security systems, resolve technical issues and help homeowners feel confident using their equipment. Each property brings different requirements, making this an appealing opportunity for someone who enjoys variety and takes ownership of their work.
