- Strong, supportive team culture with experienced technical specialists who collaborate, share knowledge and solve problems together.
- Excellent training and development, with hands-on support while you learn the business, systems, projects and technical standards.
- Work with high-profile commercial clients across sophisticated, large-scale electronic security environments.
- Join an established and growing business known for technical excellence, quality delivery and long-term client relationships.

The Opportunity We are partnering with an established Australian electronic security integrator that delivers sophisticated, fully integrated security solutions across commercial, industrial and high-security environments.

They are looking for an experienced Solutions / Commissioning Engineer to join their Sydney or Melbourne team (2x Roles available due to growth).

This is a highly technical role sitting between Project Management, system design, programming, integration and commissioning. You will take project requirements and turn them into fully functioning electronic security solutions, working across CCTV, access control, VMS and networked security systems.

About the Role

You will work closely with Project Managers and on-site technicians to design, configure, program and commission integrated electronic security systems.

Rather than physically installing equipment yourself, you will be responsible for the technical solution behind the project.

This could involve determining camera positioning and hardware requirements, designing access control and network architecture, programming cameras and NVRs, configuring security platforms, ensuring multiple systems communicate correctly and remotely supporting technicians during installation and commissioning.

You will join an established Solutions Engineering team and report to an experienced Head of Solutions.

Your Responsibilities





- Design and develop integrated electronic security solutions across commercial projects
- Program and commission CCTV, access control and Video Management Systems
- Configure cameras, NVRs, security software and associated hardware

We are particularly interested in people currently working as a:

This is also an Excellent Opportunity for a Senior Field Technician You do not necessarily need to already hold the title of Solutions Engineer. If you are an experienced electronic security technician who has spent years working on commercial sites and already performs programming, integration and commissioning, this could be an excellent opportunity to take your knowledge into a predominantly office-based engineering position.

Your practical understanding of what happens on site can be extremely valuable when designing solutions and supporting technicians remotely.
