About this role

NextGen Security is looking for a service technician with at least five years of hands-on experience maintaining enterprise-level security systems to join their Charlotte-based team. You'd be responsible for the full lifecycle of access control, video surveillance, and low-voltage systems—installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, programming, testing, and repair—primarily serving clients in healthcare, higher education, utilities, pharmaceuticals, data centers, and oil and gas. This is a technical leadership role in the field, meaning you'll work independently, solve complex problems, and maintain strong customer relationships while supporting the operations team as needed.

The position requires a solid technical or electrical background and familiarity with industry codes and standards. You'll need to be comfortable traveling occasionally and responding to after-hours service calls. Vendor certifications in platforms like Genetec, Software House, Avigilon, or Milestone are preferred but not required; networking and IT knowledge would be an asset. You must be at least 21 to operate the company vehicle provided as part of the role.

NextGen offers compensation based on your background and experience, a full benefits package including vacation and a cell phone allowance, and works with a management team that brings 10–25 years of security industry expertise. The company conducts pre-employment drug screens and background checks.
