Ranges Alarms has been operating since ****, providing professional electronic security solutions across Melbourne's south-east, Bayside, Mornington Peninsula and Gippsland.
We specialise in the installation and maintenance of:
CCTV Systems
Intruder Alarm Systems
Access Control
Integrated Security Systems
Our work includes commercial premises, businesses, factories, storage facilities, new homes and selected residential projects. Some of our customers include Puffing Billy Railway, Country Fire Authority, McDonalds and GJ Gardner Homes just to name a few.
We are a small, established team and take a fairly simple approach to work: do a great job, look after our customers, support each other and enjoy coming to work.
Due to continued growth, we are now adding another experienced Security Technician to our team.
The Role
This is a hands-on Security Technician position covering the installation, commissioning, servicing and maintenance of CCTV, alarm and access control systems.
You'll work across a variety of projects including commercial properties, factories, storage facilities, businesses, new homes and residential installations.
You'll be trusted to manage your jobs and organise your own day. We don't micromanage and we're not interested in watching the clock. What matters to us is that the work is completed properly, customers are looked after and you communicate with the team.
For the right person, this role also offers genuine career progression.
Our goal is to develop someone who can eventually take on more responsibility, including site inspections, system design, preparing quotes and working directly with customers to develop security solutions.
If you're an experienced technician who wants to move beyond simply being handed jobs every day, this could be a great opportunity to take the next step in your career.
Responsibilities
Your role will initially include:
Installing and commissioning CCTV, alarm and access control systems
Programming and configuring security systems
Fault finding, servicing and maintaining existing systems
Completing system upgrades and modifications
Training customers on how to use their security systems
Providing occasional technical support to customers
Managing your daily jobs, materials and workload




Liaising with customers, builders, electricians and other trades
Completing installations to a high professional standard
As you develop within the role, there will also be opportunities to become involved in:
Attending sites to assess customer security requirements
Designing CCTV, alarm and access control solutions
Preparing scopes of work
Assisting with and eventually preparing customer quotations
Providing technical advice to customers
Managing projects from initial enquiry through to completion
Mentoring junior technicians and apprentices as the team grows
Skills & Experience
We are looking for someone who can confidently work independently and already has solid industry experience.
Ideally, you will have:
Minimum 3 years' experience installing and servicing electronic security systems
Current Victorian Driver Licence
Current Victorian Security Installer Registration/Licence
Open Cabling Registration
Construction Induction Card – White Card
Strong experience with CCTV, alarm and access control systems
Good fault-finding and diagnostic skills

A professional and reliable approach to your work
The ability to work independently without constant supervision
The confidence to communicate directly with customers and understand their requirements
Experience with the following would be highly regarded:
Inner Range Inception
Inner Range Integriti
Hikvision CCTV and security products
You don't need to know every product we use. If you have a strong security background, know how to fault find, can communicate well with customers and are keen to keep developing your skills, we'd still like to hear from you.
This role has been created as part of the continued growth of Ranges Alarms, and we are looking for someone who can grow with us.
For the right person,



we want to provide a pathway from experienced technician into a more senior position involving quoting, system design, project planning and customer consultation.
We'll provide training and support to help you develop these skills.
What's In It For You?
We want this to be a job you actually enjoy.
Depending on your experience, we can offer:
Competitive and negotiable salary
Fully maintained company vehicle
Company phone and laptop
Small, supportive team
Variety of commercial and residential security work
Autonomy to manage your own jobs
Genuine career progression
Training in quoting, system design and customer consultation
Opportunity to move into a more senior technical role
No unnecessary micromanagement
Genuine Flexibility
We recognise that people have lives outside of work.
Need to drop the kids at school? Start later.
Want to get away early before a long weekend? Start earlier.
We care far more about the quality of your work, communication and looking after our customers than whether you arrive at exactly the same time every morning.
For the right person, we are happy to structure the role around what works for both you and the business.
There is no on call or overtime required for this job.
What We're Looking For
We're not just looking for someone who can install security systems.
We want someone who:
Takes pride in their work
Can be trusted to manage their own jobs
Gets along well with customers and other trades
Wants to be part of a small team
Is comfortable taking responsibility
Wants to continue developing professionally
Is interested in progressing into quoting and system design
Could eventually help guide junior technicians and apprentices
If you're an experienced Security Technician who wants more autonomy, genuine flexibility and the prospect to progress beyond the tools, we'd like to hear from you.
