Security Systems Engineer

Security Systems Engineer | Corsham / Farnborough | £55k + benefits

We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established security systems contractor for an experienced Security Systems Engineer. If you've been working as an Electronic Security Engineer, Security Service Engineer or Field Service Engineer in the electronic security space, this is worth a look.

The work is for a data centre client across two fixed sites — Corsham and Farnborough. If you're used to being sent anywhere and everywhere, this will feel different. Two sites, same client, proper routine.

The role covers installation, maintenance and fault resolution across access control, CCTV, intruder alarms and intercom systems. Day-to-day you'll be doing PPM, reactive callouts, site surveys and some phone-based technical support.

What they're looking for: Experience with CCTV and access control installation is essential. Familiarity with Lenel, Gallagher, C-Cure or Avigilon is a bonus but not a dealbreaker. ECS/CSCS card required. Full clean UK driving licence essential. SC/BPSS clearance will be required — if you can't get it, this one isn't for you.

The honest bit: This is fully site-based — no hybrid. There's a compulsory out-of-hours rota (1 in 4 weeks). Hours shift between an 8am and a 9am start depending on the week. If you want flexibility, this probably isn't the right fit. If you want a stable role with a good employer and a proper package, read on.

The package: £55k (DOE) + benefits | 1 in 4 out-of-hours rota with approved overtime | 30 mins paid travel | 24 days holiday plus bank holidays and your birthday, rising to 27 | Healthcare after probation | Pension | Ongoing training.

Ideally you'll be based along the M3/M4 corridor — Reading, Newbury, Basingstoke or Swindon area suits the two sites well.
