About this job

Want more than just a job? How about a career where you work with modern technology, learn on the job, get paid while you train, and end up fully qualified in a fast growing industry? We’re looking for our next Apprentice Security Technician to join our team. This is a junior, entry level role — ideal for a recent school leaver (or someone early in their career) who’s keen on technology, enjoys hands on work, and wants to build a long term future.

You don’t need experience in security — just the right attitude, reliability, and a genuine interest in electronics and technology. We’ll take care of the training.

What this role is all about This role starts as a trainee position and leads into a formal apprenticeship, combining on the job learning and study over three years. Successfully completing the apprenticeship will see you become a fully qualified Security Technician with a recognised Certificate in Electronic Security.

What the apprenticeship looks like: Year 1: Learn the fundamentals – tools, cabling, system installations, and safe work practices Year 2: Build confidence – fault finding, programming systems, working more independently Year 3: Advanced systems, problem solving, and qualification completion By the end, you’ll have skills that are in demand — not just here, but across the industry.

Nice to have (but not required): Confidence using computers or technology Practical skills or experience with tools If you haven’t worked with tools before — that’s totally fine. What matters most is your attitude and willingness to learn.
