Access Control Technician

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.
