About this role

The Physical Security Technician installs, configures, and services the access control and video surveillance systems Unió Digital delivers for commercial, industrial, medical, and mine-site clients. You will work on Avigilon Alta, Avigilon Unity, and Rhombus platforms across new construction, retrofits, system takeovers, and service calls.

This role builds on low voltage work. It is where Unió Digital's cabling technicians go next, and where experienced security installers join the Cabling + Security team. You bring solid low voltage fundamentals and take each system to a working handoff: wiring doors, mounting and aiming cameras, registering devices, testing every door and camera, and training the client's staff. You will work with the Field Operations Lead and the Project Manager, and build to the Physical Security Engineer's design. You will also take on-site service work routed through the Physical Security Service Desk. Intrusion alarm panels and sensors are the Intrusion Technician's work, on the same crew.

Unió Digital is a Rhombus and Avigilon partner and a licensed Arizona alarm business. 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.

• How We Work

• Our Core Values

• These four values are the same on every role. They describe how the team operates, not the duties of this posting.

• Dream Big, Then Make It Real

• Bring the ambitious idea, then do the work that makes it real. Ambition counts here, and so does follow-through.

• Client Driven Results

• Your scoreboard is the client's result. Find the solution, own the outcome, and treat their success as the job.

• Own Your Progress

• You own your work, your misses, and your next skill. We help. We do not hide from problems.

• We Do It Right

• Do the correct thing even when no one is watching. Quality is the job, not a slogan.
