The permanent, full-time position offers an initial salary of £29,000–£31,000 a year depending on experience, plus an additional £20 payment for each overnight stay. The role is based on projects across the UK and requires the successful candidate to work away from home from Monday to Friday, with hotel accommodation provided by the company.
Working hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30am–5:00pm, with overtime available when contracted works require it. The company states that a high percentage of its work is in the south of England, so applicants must be prepared for regular travel and overnight stays.
The Installation Engineer will work under a site supervisor and be responsible for completing all elements required to install Specialist Alarm Services systems. Projects can range from construction sites to occupied healthcare facilities.
Duties include containment installation, first-fix cabling, second-fix equipment connection, equipment programming, final testing, commissioning and completion of documentation. The successful candidate will also need to work from site and contract drawings and liaise with clients and contractors when required.
Previous installation experience with low-voltage systems such as nurse call, staff attack, data networks or fire and security systems is required. Specialist Alarm Services will provide training on its systems, including product knowledge, health and safety and relevant site certification.
The company is looking for an experienced installer who could potentially progress into a team leader or supervisor position.
An enhanced DBS clearance is required for all site employees and will be applied for by Specialist Alarm Services.
Employees receive 22 days’ annual leave, increasing with length of service to a maximum of 25 days, together with a company pension scheme. An annual Christmas bonus may also be available depending on company and personal performance.
