Access Control Technician
Job Description
Job Description
We are hiring Access Control Technicians (Tech I and Tech II level) to support the deployment of security and low voltage systems across data center projects in the Columbus, OH metro area. Work will include a mix of new construction builds and installations within existing, operational data center environments, with some local travel required to sites throughout the Columbus market.
This is a great opportunity to join a growing, mission-critical data center program with a team that values attitude, communication, and work ethic just as much as technical skill. If you have access control or low voltage experience and are looking for a stable project with room to grow into Tech III and lead roles — we want to hear from you.

- Supporting firmware upgrades and downgrades on security devices as required
- Testing, troubleshooting, and verifying proper operation of installed systems
- Reading and interpreting wiring diagrams, riser drawings, and installation plans
- Maintaining clean, organized, and professional installations
- Traveling locally between project sites within the Columbus, OH market as assigned
- Working within both active new-construction sites and existing, occupied data center environments, following all applicable safety and access protocols
- Coordinating with project leads, PMs, and general contractors
- Following site-specific requirements, safety protocols, and security procedures
