Responsibilities

• Installation & Commissioning: Physically install, configure, and commission CCTV cameras, IoT sensors (e.g., environmental monitors, wearables, access control), network devices, and related hardware on construction sites according to design specifications and safety standards.
• Maintenance & Repairs: Perform routine preventive maintenance, diagnose faults, and carry out timely repairs or replacements of system components (cameras, sensors, cabling, power supplies, network gear) to ensure maximum system uptime and reliability.
• Troubleshooting: Respond promptly to site-reported issues, diagnose complex technical problems (hardware, network connectivity, software integration points), and implement effective solutions under potentially challenging site conditions.
• Testing & Calibration: Conduct regular system testing, sensor calibration, and performance verification to ensure accuracy and compliance with safety requirements.
• Site Coordination: Liaise effectively with site managers, contractors, and other stakeholders to schedule work, minimize disruption, and ensure safe working practices during installations and maintenance activities.
• Documentation: Maintain accurate records of installations, maintenance activities, repairs, site configurations, and inventory. Generate service reports.
• Technical Support: Provide basic on-site training and support to end-users (site staff) on system operation and best practices.
• Compliance: Adhere strictly to all construction site safety regulations, company protocols, and electrical standards while performing duties.
   

Requirements

• Diploma or Higher Certificate in Electronics Engineering, Telecommunications, Computer Engineering, IT, or a related field. Relevant technical certifications (e.g., CCTV, Networking) are a strong plus.
• Minimum 2-3 years of proven hands-on field experience in installing and maintaining CCTV systems (Analog & IP cameras, DVRs/NVRs).
• Proven experience with IoT devices/sensors and their integration (installation, power, basic networking) is highly desirable.
• Experience working on construction sites or in harsh industrial environments is a significant advantage.
• Strong understanding of IP networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, addressing, routers, switches, Wi-Fi).
• Proficient in low-voltage cabling (UTP, coaxial, power), termination, and testing.
• Ability to read basic system schematics and layout diagrams.
• Familiarity with basic electrical principles and safe handling practices.
• Proficiency with hand/power tools relevant to the role.
• Basic understanding of common IoT communication protocols is a plus.
• Self-Motivated & Proactive: Ability to work independently with minimal supervision across various sites.
• Excellent Problem-Solver: Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills under pressure.
• Physically Fit: Capable of working at heights (ladders/scaffolding), lifting equipment, and working in demanding outdoor site conditions (heat, dust, rain).
• Safety Conscious: Utmost commitment to personal safety and the safety of others. Knowledge of construction site safety protocols (e.g., Green Card) is preferred.
• Organized & Detail-Oriented: Meticulous in installation, documentation, and record-keeping.
• Flexibility: Willingness to work a 6-day week schedule and occasionally respond to urgent call-outs outside normal hours as required by project needs.
