- Basic CCTV and intruder alarm interfaces
- Ensure all works are completed in line with manufacturer guidelines, industry standards, and health & safety regulations
- Test systems following repairs or servicing to confirm full operation
- Complete accurate job reports, service records, and compliance documentation
- Communicate clearly with residents, housing officers, and internal teams
- Work closely with supervisors and other engineers to manage workload and priorities
