  • Ensure all works are completed safely, efficiently, and in compliance with relevant standards and best practice.
  • Liaise professionally with clients, site managers, and internal teams.
  • Complete service reports and documentation accurately and on time.

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience in gate automation, automated barriers, bollards, or similar access control systems.
  • Strong mechanical and electrical fault-finding skills.
  • Ability to work independently and take ownership of jobs from start to finish.
  • Strong attention to detail and a safety-first mindset.
  • Good communication skills and a professional, customer-focused approach.
  • Experience or knowledge of fire and/or electronic security systems (CCTV, access control, intruder alarms) is a distinct advantage.

Additional Information

  • Licence: Full EU driver’s licence required (company vehicle provided).
  • Salary:Competitive salary, based on experience

If you’re a skilled, hands-on gate automation engineer who enjoys variety, autonomy, and working with a growing, progressive company, we’d love to hear from you.
