Fire & Security Manager

We are looking for an experienced Technical Fire & Security Manager to take a leading role in supporting, developing, and maintaining our CCTV, access control, and security system operations.

This is a primarily office-based role that combines technical leadership with hands-on support — including system design review, commissioning support, advanced fault diagnosis, and both remote and on-site assistance for engineers and customers.

You’ll be the company’s technical point of escalation, ensuring our systems meet the highest standards of reliability, performance, and integration.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide advanced technical support and escalation for CCTV systems (Hikvision & Avigilon), including camera configuration, VMS/NVR setup, recording servers, and network design.
• Design, review, and approve CCTV and access control schematics, cabling topology, and server/network specifications.
• Lead commissioning and fault resolution; support engineers on-site with complex networked system issues.
• Manage integrations between CCTV, access control (2N, Paxton Net2), and alarm platforms (Texecom Cloud).
• Maintain technical documentation, configuration templates, and standard operating procedures.
• Deliver technical training and mentoring to engineers; create runbooks and escalation guides.
• Liaise with suppliers and manufacturers (Hikvision, Avigilon, Texecom, 2N, Paxton) for technical cases, firmware updates, and product support.
• Oversee system health monitoring, remote diagnostics, and technical reporting processes.

Essential Skills & Experience

• Strong technical background in CCTV systems (Hikvision & Avigilon), including VMS, NVRs, and server/network configuration.
• Proven ability to troubleshoot complex issues and communicate clearly with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
• In-depth knowledge of networking fundamentals (IP routing, VLANs, QoS, PoE, subnetting) as applied to security systems.
• Experience with Texecom, 2N network access, and Paxton Net2.
• Demonstrated leadership in technical support or system integration roles.
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to customer sites.

Desirable Skills

• Experience with fire alarm systems.
• Familiarity with remote monitoring or system health management tools.
• Vendor certifications or qualifications with Hikvision, Avigilon, Texecom, Paxton, or 2N.
• Experience leading a technical team or acting as a senior escalation point.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a growing, forward-thinking security company with a strong technical foundation.
• Shape our technical standards and play a key role in training and developing engineering teams.
• Competitive package including vehicle or car allowance, career development opportunities, and exposure to cutting-edge security technologies.
