About us

Trac-Tech delivers mission-critical electronic security, access control and workforce management solutions for commercial, industrial, retail environments. We're looking for a hands-on Senior Access Control Technician who takes pride in first-time quality, safe workmanship and excellent client service.

The role

You'll lead installations, commissioning and service of enterprise-grade access and security control systems, mentor junior techs, and be the technical point of contact on site. You'll own the outcome—from neat wiring and compliant egress to clean handover packs and a delighted client.

What you'll do

  • Install, configure, and commission controllers, readers, and door hardware (maglocks, strikes, motor/solenoid locks, door closers), speed-gates, turnstiles, and vehicle barriers.
  • Set up credentials, enrol biometric templates (fingerprint, face, iris, and vein), ID Cards, and mobile keys.
  • Design and test power (12/24 VDC PSUs, batteries, autonomy), and integrate fire/egress (fail-safe/ fail-secure, drop-relay).
  • Network basics: IP addressing, PoE, VLAN awareness, NTP; coordinate with client IT where needed.
  • Troubleshoot methodically (power → bus → controller → software); capture root cause and permanent fix.
  • Produce tidy as-builts, label schedules, panel/IP plans, backups and signed acceptance tests.
  • Mentor juniors; run toolbox talks; uphold HSE and quality standards every day.
  • Assist with designing access and surveillance solutions for clients.
  • Assist with evaluating new technology.

What you'll bring

  • 3+ years in access control installation/commissioning, with recent senior/site-lead experience.
  • Solid low-voltage and mechanical door skills (hinges, closers, alignment) and neat, standards-driven wiring.
  • Working knowledge of
    SANS
    (LV),
    SANS 10400-T
    (egress intent),
    SANS 10139
    (fire interface concepts),
    POPIA
    awareness for credentials/biometrics.
  • Clean, professional client communication; strong documentation discipline.
  • Fully bilingual (English and Afrikaans).
  • South African Citizen.
  • PSIRA Registered.
  • Drivers License
  • Medically fit, as you will need to pass an annual medical.
  • Valid driver's licence and willingness to travel.

What we offer

  • Market-competitive package
  • Established company
  • Exposure to leading technologies and methodologies
  • Ongoing training and certification pathways
  • Supportive team culture, quality tools/PPE, and career growth on complex projects.
