Service Technician, SC/DV (160lw) – London - £35-£37k + Excellent Benefits

A fantastic opportunity for a service leaver or ex-Forces professional to launch a new career within the high-security technology and construction protection industry. You'll be stepping into a specialist position that values discipline, adaptability, and technical curiosity - not just qualifications on paper.

DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS RECRUITMENT CONSULTANCY, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO REPRESENT INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE EX MILITARY.

Our client is a trusted name in physical security and entrance control solutions, with over 30 years of UK and international success. As part of a major growth phase, they are looking to bring in someone with the mindset, reliability and professionalism typically found in military personnel.

What’s in it for you?

  • No prior electrical experience needed - full technical training can be provided

  • DV clearance will be sponsored for the right candidate

  • Long-term stable role at a prestigious London client site

  • Work with cutting-edge security tech - anti-tailgating systems, turnstiles, sensors & more

  • Become part of a tight-knit technical team with a strong mission focus

  • As an on-site Service Technician, you’ll be embedded within one of the UK’s highest-profile environments, working with advanced access control and monitoring systems. This isn’t just maintenance, you’ll be ensuring systems critical to national security and safety are functioning at their absolute best.

    You’ll be responsible for:

  • Preventative maintenance and fault diagnostics

  • Supporting emergency callouts and critical fixes when required

  • Overseeing on-site spare parts levels and stock reporting

  • Liaising with technical leadership to ensure operational readiness at all times

    What We’re Looking For

  • A strong electro-mechanical aptitude - maybe from working on vehicles, weapon systems, or comms in service

  • Clear communicator – confident with clients and able to stay calm under pressure

  • Security mindset – naturally discrete and trustworthy; SC clearance required (with DV supported after)

  • Willingness to be on call occasionally for weekends or bank holidays (as needed)

  • Ideal for people from backgrounds such as, Royal Engineers, REME, RAF Ground Crew, Navy Technicians, Signals, or similar. Defence-based engineering, comms, or logistics experience. Anyone used to work in secure, high-pressure environments

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for Edge Computing Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The UK's edge computing sector has emerged as one of Europe's most dynamic and technically demanding technology markets, with roles spanning from junior edge systems engineers to principal edge architects and heads of distributed computing. With edge computing positions commanding salaries from £35,000 for graduate systems engineers to £150,000+ for senior principal architects, understanding when organisations actively recruit can dramatically accelerate your career progression in this cutting-edge and rapidly expanding field. Unlike traditional cloud computing roles, edge computing hiring follows distinct patterns influenced by IoT deployment cycles, 5G infrastructure rollouts, and distributed systems project timelines. The sector's unique combination of hardware-software integration, real-time processing requirements, and ultra-low latency demands creates predictable hiring windows that strategic professionals can leverage to advance their careers in building tomorrow's distributed computing infrastructure. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for edge computing job applications in the UK, examining how enterprise IoT strategies, telecommunications infrastructure deployment, and Industry 4.0 initiatives influence recruitment patterns, and why strategic timing can determine whether you join a pioneering edge research team or miss the opportunity to develop the next generation of distributed computing systems.

Pre-Employment Checks for Edge Computing Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

Pre-employment screening in edge computing reflects the discipline's unique position at the intersection of distributed systems architecture, real-time processing, and critical infrastructure deployment. Edge computing professionals often have privileged access to mission-critical systems, industrial control networks, and sensitive operational data that form the backbone of autonomous systems and real-time decision-making capabilities. The edge computing industry operates within complex regulatory frameworks spanning cyber security directives, industrial safety standards, and emerging IoT governance regulations. Edge computing specialists must demonstrate not only technical competence in distributed architecture and low-latency systems but also deep understanding of operational technology security, industrial protocols, and the safety implications of real-time autonomous systems. Modern edge computing roles frequently involve managing industrial control systems, autonomous vehicle networks, smart city infrastructure, and critical operational systems across multiple security domains and regulatory frameworks simultaneously. The combination of system-level privileges, real-time control capabilities, and safety-critical responsibilities makes thorough candidate verification essential for maintaining security, operational continuity, and public safety in edge-deployed systems.
