Our client is an established provider of electronic security solutions with multiple locations throughout the Midwest. This opportunity is specific to their Greater Madison branch, where you’ll oversee a team of 12 installation technicians while managing the people, resources, and activities needed to keep projects moving. You’ll stay closely connected to projects in the field, ensuring timelines are met, issues are addressed, and customers receive the level of service expected.

You’ll be stepping into one of their busier locations, with a steady flow of projects and the stability of an established operation. If there are gaps in your technical knowledge, you’ll have access to structured training as you build familiarity with their services and technology. Backed by consistent YoY growth, the company offers the resources of a larger organization while giving local leaders the ability to make decisions and drive results within their branch.
