Security Technician III (Security Systems Integration)

San Jose, California, United States

Location: Bay Area, CA

Company: Superior Alarm Systems (SAS)

 

Who We Are

Superior Alarm Systems is a commercial security integrator operating at the high end of the market — pharmaceutical facilities, entertainment studios, global manufacturing campuses, and executive-level environments. Our clients have complex, integrated security ecosystems, and our technicians are expected to match that standard on day one.

We're expanding our Bay Area field team and looking for a Technician III who can own installations independently, solve problems without hand-holding, and is ready to take on a leadership role on the job site.

 

What You'll Do

  • Lead installations end-to-end — from rough-in through commissioning — on commercial security systems across access control, IP video surveillance (CCTV), intrusion detection, and intercom/specialty devices
  • Terminate, label, and test low-voltage cabling to a professional standard — clean runs, proper management, no shortcuts
  • Commission and verify system functionality across integrated platforms; resolve field-level issues without escalation
  • Read and work from engineered drawings — you interpret prints, not wait for someone to explain them
  • Mentor Technician I and II team members on site; you set the bar for workmanship and pace
  • Support Technician IV with jobsite coordination, scheduling, and quality control
  • Document accurately — time entries, job progress, punch items — in SAS project tracking systems
  • Hold the quality standard — every installation you touch is neat, labeled, tested, and ready for inspection


What You Bring

These are non-negotiable:

  • 3–5+ years of commercial security installation experience — pharmaceutical, industrial, institutional, or enterprise environments preferred
  • Demonstrated ability to independently install and commission access control hardware, IP cameras, intrusion systems, and electrified door components
  • Proficiency in reading and interpreting wiring diagrams, blueprints, and system schematics
  • Experience with Genetec, Lenel, or Bosch platforms (at least one required; all three is a strong advantage)
  • Ability to work independently in the field with minimal supervision — you manage your day, your work, and your quality
  • Valid driver's license with a clean driving record

Candidates without commercial systems experience will not be considered. Residential-only backgrounds do not apply.

 

What Sets You Apart

  • Experience on large-scale or multi-phase commercial projects — you've seen a job from mobilization through closeout
  • Familiarity with Bluebeam for markup and D-Tools for documentation
  • History of mentoring or guiding junior technicians on active job sites
  • Any relevant certifications: ESA/NTS, manufacturer certifications (Genetec, Lenel, Bosch), or low-voltage licensing
  • Comfort working in high-security, high-stakes environments where first impressions matter

 

What SAS Offers

  • $36–$43/hr based on verified experience and systems knowledge
  • Up to 95% of medical premiums covered — plus dental and vision
  • 401(k) — because a good company invests in your future, not just your time
  • Company laptop provided
  • Two weeks PTO + 7 sick days + 7 paid holidays
  • A clear path to Technician IV — this isn't a dead-end role; it's a launchpad
  • Work on the most complex, high-profile installations in the Bay Area — the kind of projects that build a resume

 

The Honest Picture

This role is for someone who takes pride in doing the job right the first time. SAS has a reputation for technical excellence and we protect it — which means we need technicians who share that standard, not just show up for a paycheck.

If you're a seasoned commercial tech who wants complex work, a team that respects your skills, and a clear path to the next level — we want to talk.

 

Ready to Apply?

 

This is a senior-level field technician role. If you have fewer than 3 years of hands-on commercial security installation experience, this position is not a fit. If you’re an experienced security technician who thrives in a leadership role and takes pride in delivering high-quality work, we’d love to hear from you.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

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.
