We are Hiring: Access Control & CCTV Engineer — Cape Town

IDtek Solutions, South Africa's leading Electronic Security Systems Integrator, is looking for an experienced engineer to join our Cape Town team. The role focuses on programming, commissioning, and supporting enterprise Access Control and CCTV systems across high-security environments.

Company Description

IDtek Solutions is South Africa's leading Electronic Security Systems Integrator. We design, deploy, and support enterprise-grade Access Control, CCTV, Fire Detection, and integrated security platforms across Banking, healthcare, Hospitality, Data Centres, Distribution Warehousing, Tertiary Education and Government Environments.

Our approach is practical and honest. We focus on understanding a client's actual risk profile, then deliver solutions that work reliably in the long term. All projects are supported through design, installation, commissioning, and ongoing operations. Our reputation is built on technical depth, credible results, and long-standing partnerships with top-tier organisations.

Role Description: Access Control & CCTV Engineer (Cape Town)

This is a full-time technical role for an experienced Access Control and CCTV Engineer. The position includes programming, commissioning, maintaining, and supporting enterprise electronic security systems.

You will work on large, multi-site environments where reliability, integration, and backend competency are critical. The role covers:

  • System programming, configuration, and advanced commissioning
  • Troubleshooting and preventative maintenance on live enterprise systems
  • SQL database work including queries, reporting, data integrity checks, and backend troubleshooting
  • Integration support between Access Control, CCTV, alarms, VMS, and third-party systems
  • Site surveys, technical assessments, and solution recommendations
  • Supporting clients during go-live phases and post-implementation
  • Working closely with project teams to deliver high-quality outcomes on time

Experience in high-security, compliance-driven environments is a strong advantage.

Key Requirements & Qualifications

Essential:

  • Strong programming and commissioning experience on enterprise Access Control and CCTV solutions
  • Solid understanding of networks, servers, storage, and IP-based security systems
  • Extensive SQL experience (queries, table structures, logs, troubleshooting)
  • Ability to diagnose complex system issues across software, hardware, and databases
  • Hands-on experience with system integrations and API-driven workflows
  • Strong documentation habits and ability to communicate technical detail clearly
  • Valid driver's license and willingness to travel when required

Highly Advantageous:

  • Certification or proven experience on one or more of the following:
  • Impro Portal
  • Gallagher Command Centre
  • Lenel OnGuard
  • Genetec
  • Milestone XProtect (Core/Expert/Corporate)
  • Experience with large multi-site deployments
  • Background in enterprise project based deployments
  • Strong networking background on enterprise solutions - Aruba, Cisco, Ruckus, Dell etc

What We're Looking For

Someone who is calm under pressure, solutions-driven, and takes pride in getting systems stable and running smoothly. A person who is comfortable in the backend as much as on-site — someone who can open SQL, troubleshoot logs, review network flows, and still support a technician in the field.

If you enjoy complex systems, integration work, and solving real technical problems, you'll fit in well at IDtek.
