About this role

The Intrusion Technician installs, programs, and services commercial intrusion alarm systems for Unió Digital clients. The platform is DMP: XR and XT Series panels, keypads, wired and wireless sensors, and cellular and IP communicators reporting to a central station.

You will handle new installs, takeovers of existing intrusion alarm systems, and service calls. A typical project runs from the zone layout in the design through sensor installation, panel programming, central station registration, and a full signal test before the client takes over. You will work with the Field Operations Lead and the Project Manager, on the same crew as the physical security technicians who install access control and video, because many clients have Unió Digital install all three together.

Unió Digital is a licensed Arizona alarm business and an authorized DMP dealer. Occupied buildings sometimes mean after-hours work. Some client sites and mine sites require site-specific safety training, a background check, or drug screening before you can work there. This seat is open as a W-2 employee position or as a contractor engagement. W-2 employees receive company-paid certifications and training.
