Position Overview

Cornerstone Detention is seeking an experienced Lead Security Controls Technician to install and troubleshoot electronic door control systems in occupied State correctional facilities throughout the Southeast United States. These systems are typically PLC-controlled or relay-based detention door control systems.

    Pull, terminate, and test low-voltage and control wiring
    Diagnose voltage, continuity, and control circuit issues using a multimeter
    Lead a small installation crew and coordinate work with the project team
    Coordinate with programming division during system commissioning

Additional Expectations

  • This is a working lead technician position, not a helper position
    Must be able to read prints and work without constant supervision
    Must be comfortable troubleshooting low-voltage control circuits independently
    Must be comfortable working in correctional facilities and following facility security procedures
    Must be able to coordinate work with General Contractors, subcontractors, and the customer

Requirements

  • Minimum 5 years of low-voltage installation and troubleshooting experience
    Strong understanding of basic electrical theory and low-voltage control systems
    Highly proficient using a multimeter for troubleshooting voltage and control circuits
    Ability to read and interpret wiring diagrams and construction drawings
    Experience with access control, CCTV, fence detection, or related security systems is a strong plus
    Must pass criminal background check
    Must pass drug screening (random testing required)
