Access Control Systems Administrator
Location: Ford Dunton, Essex (Site based)
Join Bespoke Detection Systems
Are you confident managing IT systems, user permissions and technical records?
Bespoke Detection Services are hiring for a Systems Administrator to take ownership of the software behind Ford’s access control system. Working with Lenel access control systems, you’ll take ownership of business-critical responsibilities, ensuring sites are kept operational and secure.
This is a long-term role based at Ford’s Dunton site. You’ll work closely with the security team and engineers to make sure access permissions are accurate, alarms are monitored and the system continues to meet Ford’s security standards.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Set up and maintain access permissions for employees, contractors and visitors.
- Manage local administrator rights and process changes through the required approvals.
- Keep system records and logs accurate, utilising engineer expertise where required.
- Help investigate system faults and check that alarms and door controls are working correctly.
- Support and train local administrators at other Ford sites when needed.
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.
What You’ll Bring
You could be an IT Technician, Systems Administrator or someone in a similar technical role. You’ll need to be computer literate, comfortable working with user accounts and permissions, and able to follow detailed security processes. An understanding of system configuration or programming concepts will help you get to grips with the training.
Knowledge of Lenel access control systems is advantageous, but not essential. We’re particularly interested in someone who takes ownership of their work, pays attention to detail and is happy working independently.
The role is initially based on site five days a week, with some flexibility around start and finish times. Occasional travel to other Ford sites may be required for training.
