About this role
NextGen Security is seeking an experienced installation technician to support their commercial and industrial security projects in the Houston area. The role centers on hands-on work: installing field cabling and equipment for access control and IP-based video systems, programming system components, and activating projects from commissioning through deployment. You'll work both independently and as part of a dynamic team, with occasional travel required.
To succeed here, you need at least two years of direct experience installing and maintaining electronic access control systems, video management platforms, and networking infrastructure. Familiarity with chemical plant environments and local security codes is essential, as is the ability to operate a company vehicle safely. Vendor certifications—particularly in systems like Genetec, Software House, or Milestone—are preferred and would strengthen your candidacy. Strong problem-solving and communication skills matter as much as technical knowledge, since you'll often work with minimal supervision.
NextGen offers a full benefits package including paid vacation, a company vehicle, and a cell phone allowance, with compensation based on your background and experience. The position is contract-based and requires you to be at least 21 years old to drive company vehicles. Pre-employment drug screening and background checks are standard.
