Senior Field Technician

Ronkonkoma, NY

Digital Provisions, is the leading security integrator on Long Island, New York, delivering advanced security solutions to a wide range of clients, including K-12 schools, businesses, and public institutions. Our passion lies in creating safe environments by partnering with educators, government officials, law enforcement, and private enterprises. Through these collaborations, we design and deploy comprehensive security systems tailored to each client’s unique needs. Whether safeguarding schools, businesses, or public spaces, we have the expertise to assess risks and implement solutions that protect people and property, allowing our clients to focus on their core missions.

 

Role Overview

Digital Provisions is seeking an elite Senior Field Technician (Foreman Track) to lead complex commercial security installations and service operations. This role is for professionals with 7+ years of high-level commercial security integration experience who can independently execute, program, commission, and troubleshoot advanced access control, VMS, and low-voltage systems without requiring engineering oversight. Senior Field Technicians remain hands-on while also leading crews, sequencing work, owning job-site execution, and enforcing installation standards. This role is a direct pipeline to Foreman for individuals who consistently perform at a high level. After a 3–6 month performance-based probationary period, candidates who demonstrate leadership, technical mastery, and low rework rates will transition into the Foreman role with expanded operational responsibility. This is not an entry-level leadership role. We are looking for technicians who already operate at a lead level.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
