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.
Your work protects some of the most secure buildings in the Bay Area.
We're growing fast and looking for a Security Technician III who wants to lead the job. You'll own installs from rough-in to commissioning, lead a small crew and turn in work you'd be proud to show anyone.
Why techs are making the move to SAS
- $36–$43/hr, overtime eligibility. Your pay reflects your skills, not just your years.
- Company truck & gas card. Show up and go to work.
- A real path to Technician IV. We promote from our own crews, and you'll know exactly what it takes to move up.
- Paid certifications in Genetec, Lenel, Bosch [and more]. We invest in your skills on our dime.
- National backing, local crew. SAS is part of Cobalt Service Partners, a fast-growing group of 20+ security companies. That means the resources and stability of a big company with the feel of a tight local team.
- Medical with up to 95% of premiums covered, plus dental, vision and a 401(k) [with match]
- 2 weeks PTO, 7 sick days and 7 paid holidays
What your days look like
- Leading installs across access control, IP video, intrusion and intercom, from first conduit to final sign-off
- Commissioning integrated systems and solving the tricky problems other people escalate
- Turning engineered drawings into clean, labeled, inspection-ready installs
- Teaching Tech I and II teammates the habits that make great techs
- Working with your Tech IV to keep the jobsite on schedule and the quality high
You'll thrive here if you have
- 3+ years installing commercial security systems (enterprise, industrial, institutional or pharma)
- Hands-on install and commissioning experience with access control, IP cameras, intrusion and electrified door hardware
- Experience with at least one enterprise platform: Genetec, Lenel, Bosch, C•CURE, AMAG, Avigilon or similar
- Confidence reading prints, wiring diagrams and schematics
- The drive to run your own day and take pride in the finished product
- A valid driver's license and clean driving record
Bonus points: multi-phase project experience, Bluebeam or D-Tools, ESA/NTS or manufacturer certs, a CA low-voltage card, or experience training other techs.
Let's talk. Applying takes about two minutes. If you're ready for bigger projects, a crew of your own and a clear next step, we want to meet you.

About this role
Superior Alarm Systems is hiring a Security Technician III to lead installations across pharmaceutical facilities, studios, and enterprise campuses in the Bay Area. You'll own projects end-to-end—from rough-in through commissioning—working with access control, IP video surveillance, intrusion detection, and intercom systems on integrated platforms like Genetec, Lenel, or Bosch. This is independent work: you read engineered drawings, terminate and test low-voltage cabling to professional standards, commission systems, troubleshoot field issues, and document progress without escalation. The role carries real responsibility for quality and pace on site.
The position requires 3–5+ years of commercial security installation experience in pharmaceutical, industrial, or enterprise environments—residential-only backgrounds won't be considered. You need demonstrated proficiency installing and commissioning access control hardware, IP cameras, intrusion systems, and electrified doors, plus the ability to work unsupervised and manage your day independently. Experience with at least one major platform (ideally all three) is non-negotiable.
What distinguishes this role is the leadership component. You'll mentor Technician I and II team members, set the workmanship standard on site, and coordinate with Technician IV on scheduling and quality control. SAS is explicit about the culture: this is for someone who takes pride in doing the job right the first time and thrives in high-stakes, high-security environments. The salary is $36–$43/hour based on verified experience, with strong benefits (95% medical premium coverage, 401(k), two weeks PTO), a company laptop, and a clear path to Technician IV. If you're a seasoned commercial tech ready for complexity and leadership, this is a launchpad.
