What you bring:

7+ years in low-voltage security or life safety installation and service.
Strong programming background on at least 2 of: Lenel/S2, Avigilon, Brivo, Mercury, Bosch, Hanwha, Axis, Aiphone, 2N.
Comfortable on a fire alarm panel (Edwards/EST, Notifier, Simplex, or Silent Knight).
Massachusetts Class D Systems Technician license (or able to obtain). We'll support the path
Clean driving record and ability to pass a background check
Real communication skills. You are able to write a clean field report, clearly defining what is required to complete any uncompleted scope or if a scope is complete.

Bonus points:

401(k), with discretionary match
Paid PTO plus 13 paid holidays
Company vehicle, fuel card, phone reimbursement
Training and professional development opportunities (examples: factory certifications, NICET, ISC West attendance)
Opportunities for growth. A path to Field Operations Manager, Lead Programmer, or Project Manager. Promotions happen on what you build.

Who this isn't for:

Our shop is built for people who want to do excellent work, who notice details, and who solve problems. If you struggle with organization, or prefer a slow-paced environment where details don’t matter, you won’t like it here.

About BBS

BBS Tech is a privately owned Massachusetts fire alarm and security integrator. We handle both disciplines under one roof. We pre-program and pre-fab in our Stoughton shop before anyone hits the field allowing our installs go cleaner, faster, and with fewer callbacks. We work with developers, GCs, and institutional clients on jobs ranging from 50-device upgrades to 1,000-device new construction. We work with top manufacturers (Edwards/EST, Lenel, Avigilon, Bosch, Hanwha, Aiphone) and we maintain factory certifications because that's what serious work demands.

The owner is still a working tech: he still programs, still trains apprentices, and still walks job sites. The office exists to support the technicians, not the other way around. We pay attention to the details because that's what matters in life safety and security work. We don't make excuses — we’re here to solve problems.
