CCTV Electrical/ Electronic Engineer (UK-Wide / Mobile Projects)

Overview of Company

We’re looking for an CCTV Electrical/ Electronic Engineer with strong hands-on experience delivering integrated security systems, fire detection, and communications/network systems in professional (B2B) environments. This is a field-focused role covering design support, installation, commissioning, testing, troubleshooting, reporting and documenting findings - ideally with exposure to construction environments such as solar farms and utility-scale sites.

You must be willing and flexible to travel and stay away from home. 

Responsibilities

·      Design support and field implementation of integrated systems including CCTV, intrusion/alarms, cameras, fire alarm systems, fibre optic networks, and structured cabling.

·      Install, configure, test, and commission end-to-end solutions across security, fire detection, and network infrastructure.

·      Perform system testing, validation, and acceptance testing to ensure reliability, scalability, and long-term performance.

·      Troubleshoot faults across CCTV, intrusion, fire, fibre optic, and structured network systems; identify root cause and implement corrective actions.

·      Support deployment activities on active construction/infrastructure sites (including solar farm environments where applicable), working safely and efficiently.

·      Collaborate with contractors, electricians, and engineering teams to coordinate works, resolve site issues, and maintain project timelines.

·      Produce and maintain basic technical documentation (e.g., commissioning sheets, test results, as-built notes, handover packs, service reports).

·      Provide field support and post-installation assistance to ensure systems remain stable and maintainable.

·      Hands-on experience with integrated security systems (CCTV, intrusion/alarm) and fire detection/fire alarm systems.

·      Strong knowledge of fibre optic infrastructure and structured cabling (design principles, installation practices, splicing, testing, and fault finding).

·      Practical commissioning and troubleshooting experience

·      Confident working on-site and in construction/infrastructure settings; solar farm exposure is a strong advantage.

·      Ability to interpret technical drawings, wiring diagrams, and network layouts.

·      Strong attention to detail and a quality-first mindset (reliability, scalability, and correct field implementation).

·      Clear communication skills and ability to coordinate with multiple trades on site.

Advantageous:

·       Experience on utility-scale or renewable energy sites (solar farms), substations, or similar infrastructure projects.

·      Familiarity with network fundamentals (IP addressing, switching basics, PoE, VLAN concepts) as they relate to CCTV and comms systems.

·      Vendor certifications or training related to CCTV, fire systems, fibre optic cable splicing/ jointing/ testing and commissioning of CCTV systems

·      Knowledge of British Standards for CCTV installation

• Recognised Electrical Qualification (NVQ Level 3, City & Guilds, or equivalent)
