Overview
We’re looking for an Electronic Engineer with strong hands-on experience delivering integrated security, fire detection, and communications/network systems in professional (B2B) environments. This is a field-focused role covering design support, installation oversight, commissioning, testing, troubleshooting, and documentations - ideally with exposure to construction environments such as solar farms and utility-scale sites.
The company
Our client is an ICP (Independent Connections Provider) based in the West Midlands, focused on supporting renewable energy assets. They work as a subcontractor on utility-scale solar projects, supporting delivery on site across build and completion phases alongside construction and electrical teams. They’ve been operating for around 2.5 years and have seen significant growth, with a strong pipeline of renewables work driving expansion in the team.
Key Responsibilities
· Design support and field implementation of integrated systems including CCTV, intrusion/alarms, fire alarm systems, fiber 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, fiber 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.
Required Experience & Skills
· Hands-on experience with integrated security systems (CCTV, intrusion/alarm) and fire detection/fire alarm systems.
· Strong knowledge of fiber optic infrastructure and structured cabling (design principles, installation practices, testing, and fault finding).
· Practical commissioning and troubleshooting experience in professional/B2B environments.
· Comfortable 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.
Nice to Have
· 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, fiber testing, or structured cabling.
Working Style
· Field-based, hands-on, and collaborative.
· Comfortable balancing practical site work with accurate documentation and handover standards.
What Success Looks Like
· Systems are installed and commissioned right-first-time, with clean test results and clear documentation.
· Faults are diagnosed quickly with strong root-cause thinking.
· Site work is coordinated smoothly with contractors and electricians, maintaining safety and project momentum.
