Job Summary
Pop-A-Lock Maritimes is expanding its commercial door automation and access control team. We install and maintain automatic door operators, electrified door hardware, and access control systems for building owners, contractors, and security integrators across mainland Nova Scotia. This role is not about key cutting or lockouts. Instead, it focuses on installing and repairing commercial door hardware, automatic door operators, electrified access-control systems, and low-voltage control systems.
Two Candidate Pathways. We are open to two types of candidates:
1. Experienced Field Service Technicians
You may be a fit if you have experience with automatic door operators; access control or security systems; electric strikes, maglocks, or motorized exit devices; low-voltage electrical work; door closers, exit devices, storefront doors, wood doors, or steel doors.
Experienced candidates should qualify for the higher end of the pay range.
2. Junior Technicians / Recent Graduates
You may be a fit if you are a recent NSCC or NBCC graduate or an early-career candidate with formal training as an electronics or electrical technician, electronics or electrical engineering technologist, electromechanical technology, or low-voltage technician, involving automation, controls, or related technical work.
We can train the door hardware and field installation aspects of the role, but we are especially interested in candidates who already understand basic electrical, electronic and/or networking concepts.
