Description:
Electrical Engineer – Central London (Security Systems)
£50,000 – £55,000 | Central London (Zone 1) | No call-out rotas
Our client is a bespoke electronic security provider based in central London, working with high-profile clients who expect precision, reliability, and genuinely good service. We're looking for an Electrical Engineer with a strong technical background and a real focus on the client, someone who takes pride in getting the detail right and fits with a team that puts service at the centre of everything it does.
This role is ideal for an electrical or electronic engineer with hands-on maintenance experience; whether your background is in security systems, building services, fire alarms, low-voltage electrical work, or general technical maintenance. Full training and support will be given to build your specialism in CCTV and access control if this isn't already your core area.
What you'll be doing
Planned preventive maintenance and reactive servicing of electronic security systems (CCTV, IP cameras, NVRs/DVRs, access control) across multiple Central London sites
Fault-finding, diagnostics, repairs and component replacement on cameras, switches, cabling, power supplies, readers, locks, and related equipment
Commissioning minor system changes and supporting small-scale installations and upgrades
Keeping accurate service records and logging faults/actions in the maintenance management system
Working directly with clients to diagnose issues, explain solutions clearly, and keep disruption to a minimum
Configuring access rights, user credentials, door schedules and alarm integration
Basic network configuration (IP addressing, VLANs, port forwards) where needed
Flagging recurring issues and suggesting improvements to how the service runs
What we're looking for
Solid hands-on experience in electrical, electronic, or technical maintenance (security systems experience is a bonus, not a must)
A methodical, practical approach to troubleshooting
Comfortable with basic networking concepts (or willing to learn)
Electrical/electronic background; a relevant qualification or strong practical experience
ECS card required
Able to obtain/maintain DBS clearance
Strong communication skills; confident explaining technical issues to non-technical clients
Happy working independently and as part of a small, close-knit team
What you'll get
23 days holiday plus your birthday off (with a £50 voucher to enjoy the day), plus all statutory holidays
Phone and iPad provided
Company pension and annual bonus scheme
Company vehicle or allowance; role is mainly Zone 1, so they're flexible on public transport with all costs covered
No call-out rotas
A team genuinely invested in helping you grow and progress
