We are hiring an experienced Access Control Technician II to support the deployment of security and low voltage systems across data center projects in the Davenport, IA area. Work will include a mix of new construction builds and installations within existing, operational data center environments, with local travel required to sites throughout the Davenport 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 solid access control and low voltage experience and are looking to take on more complex work with less oversight - including mentoring junior techs - we want to hear from you.

Traveling locally between project sites within the Davenport, IA market as assigned
Working within both active new-construction sites and existing, occupied data center environments, following all applicable safety and access protocols

Comfortable troubleshooting systems independently in the field
Ability to pass all required site onboarding and background/security requirements
Ability to work safely on active construction sites and within live data center environments
