The person who turns wire, hardware, networks, and a good plan into systems our clients can actually depend on.

NSA Solutions Group is looking for another outstanding individual to join our growing team in Bryan/College

Station!

Do you want to work on more than the same cable pull or camera installation every day? NSA Solutions Group is

a Managed Services Provider and licensed Security Contractor providing technology, physical security,

networking, and low-voltage services to clients throughout the Brazos Valley and across Texas.

We are a small but fast-growing company, which means you are not going to disappear into a crew of fifty people

doing the same task every day. One day you may be installing cameras at a commercial property, the next

terminating network cable in a new facility, troubleshooting an access-control problem, mounting equipment in a

network rack, or helping one of our IT technicians figure out why something on the network simply refuses to

cooperate.

This is not a “pull the wire, leave the mess, and let somebody else figure it out” kind of position. We are looking

for somebody who wants to understand the system they are installing, takes pride in how the finished product

looks, documents their work, and is willing to keep learning as the technology around us changes.

What type of person are we looking for?

Hands-On Problem Solver - Plans are great until the building, the equipment, or reality decides otherwise. You should be comfortable looking at a problem, thinking it through, and finding a practical solution instead of immediately giving up.
Clean-Work Fanatic - Anybody can make something work. We want it to work and look like professionals installed it. Cable management, labels, terminations, racks, pathways, equipment placement, cleanup, and attention to detail matter to us.
Technology Explorer - Low voltage and IT are becoming more connected every year. Cameras, access control, VoIP, wireless networks, IoT devices, and security systems increasingly live on the network. You do not need to be an IT engineer, but you should want to understand how the pieces fit together.
Client-friendly - You will work in offices, schools, government facilities, commercial buildings, industrial environments, and other active client locations. Our clients will see you as NSA Solutions Group, so professionalism, communication, and respect for their workplace matter.
Documentation Believer - Pictures, labels, test results, device information, notes, work orders, and as-built documentation are part of the job. If nobody can figure out what you did six months later, the job was not completely finished.
Team Player Who Can Work Alone - Some projects involve several people. Other times you may be trusted to handle a service call or smaller installation by yourself. We need someone who can do both without needing somebody standing over their shoulder all day.

What will I be working on every day?

Structured Cabling - Install, route, terminate, label, test, troubleshoot, and repair copper and fiber cabling used for networks, cameras, access control, voice, and other low-voltage systems.
Physical Security Systems - Install and service IP surveillance cameras, access-control devices, door hardware interfaces, security devices, and related infrastructure.
Network Infrastructure - Install racks, patch panels, switches, wireless access points, UPS equipment, structured pathways, and other network-related hardware. You may also assist our IT team with basic network troubleshooting and equipment deployment.
Service and Troubleshooting - Not everything we touch is a brand-new installation. You will also help diagnose failed devices, damaged cabling, bad terminations, connectivity issues, power problems, and systems that have decided today is the day they no longer want to cooperate.
Project Installation - Work from plans, scopes, drawings, device schedules, and project instructions to complete commercial installations. This can include new construction, renovations, retrofits, tenant improvements, and specialized security projects.
Testing and Commissioning - Verify that cabling, devices, network connections, cameras, doors, and other systems operate correctly before we call the work complete.
Documentation and Closeout - Complete work orders, job notes, photographs, labeling, test information, material usage, and other documentation needed to properly close the project and get the work into billing.
Working with the Rest of the Technology Team - Because NSA is both an IT provider and Security Contractor, the line between “low voltage” and “IT” can get blurry. You may work alongside IT technicians, project managers, subcontractors, electricians, general contractors, and client personnel to get everything working together.

A helpful distinction: This is primarily a low-voltage and physical-security field role, but we value technicians who are comfortable around networks and willing to help with basic IT work when a project crosses that line.

What are the must-haves and qualifications for this position?

Mechanically Capable - You should be comfortable using hand tools, power tools, ladders, testers, drills, fish rods, cable-pulling equipment, and the other tools that come with installation work.
Detail Oriented - We care about crooked devices, sloppy cable, missing labels, poor terminations, incomplete work orders, and equipment mounted wherever somebody happened to be standing. Details matter.
Dependable - Construction and service work depend on people showing up when they are supposed to. Clients, other trades, and your teammates are counting on you.
Able to Think - We can teach products and procedures. It is much harder to teach somebody to stop, look at the situation, and think through a problem. We want somebody who wants to understand why something works instead of only memorizing how someone showed them to do it once.
Comfortable with Technology - You do not have to be an IT technician, but basic familiarity with computers, IP addresses, networks, mobile applications, and configuring technology will make this job much easier.
Professional with Clients - You need to communicate clearly, behave professionally, protect client property, and understand that you may work in sensitive business, security, medical, legal, education, or government environments.
Safety-minded - You will work on ladders, above ceilings, around construction activity, in equipment rooms, and occasionally outdoors. Following safety procedures and knowing when something is unsafe is part of doing the job correctly.
Confidentiality Required - Because we support clients in medical, legal, government, and other security-sensitive industries, all employees must sign and comply with a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement protecting NSA Solutions Group and its clients.
Security Contractor Compliance - NSA Solutions Group is a licensed Security Contractor in the State of Texas. All employees must complete company-required screening and background checks. Where applicable, this process includes Texas Department of Public Safety Private Security Program requirements, electronic fingerprinting, and an FBI criminal history background check. You must also have a valid driver's license and an acceptable driving record, and employment is contingent upon satisfying applicable drug/alcohol screening and company-policy requirements.
Able to Roam - Travel to client sites throughout the Brazos Valley and occasionally elsewhere in Texas is part of the job.
Able to Do the Physical Work - This is a hands-on position. You must be able to regularly stand, bend, kneel, climb ladders, work above ceilings, carry tools and materials, and safely lift and move approximately 50 pounds when required.

Our qualification wish list

Experience - Previous low-voltage, structured-cabling, electrical, telecommunications, AV, security, or technology installation experience is preferred.
Cabling - Experience terminating and testing Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6A cabling. Fiber-optic experience is a plus.
Cameras and Security - Experience installing IP cameras and surveillance systems. Experience with electronic access control, door contacts, request-to-exit devices, locks, power supplies, and related equipment is a major plus.
Networking - Familiarity with network switches, wireless access points, patch panels, VLAN concepts, PoE, TCP/IP, and basic network troubleshooting is helpful.
Construction - Experience working with commercial construction plans, drawings, device schedules, scopes of work, lifts, and active job sites is helpful.
Training and Certifications - Manufacturer certifications, BICSI training, network certifications, security-system training, or other relevant technical education are welcome but not required.
IT Crossover - Previous IT support experience is a big plus, especially if you enjoy both working with your hands and figuring out the technology behind what you install.

Formal education is helpful, but for this position we care a lot more about whether you can do the work, learn

new things, solve problems, and take pride in the result. Even if you do not know or have experience with some of our wish list, if you are willing to learn and do the work, let us consider your skill set.

What do I get for all the hard work I put in?

Great question. Here is the rundown:

The Money - This is a full-time hourly position. Compensation will depend on your experience, technical ability, certifications, and what you bring to the team. $18.00 to $24.00
The Time - Most of our work happens during normal business hours, Monday through Friday. Construction schedules and client requirements occasionally mean earlier starts, later work, travel, or after-hours work, but we are not interested in keeping people on a jobsite at midnight just because somebody planned poorly.
Paid Time Away - The position includes PTO, paid sick leave, and paid holidays in accordance with company policy.
Retirement Benefits - We offer a company-sponsored 401(k) plan to help you plan for the future, not just the next paycheck.
Professional Growth - Technology does not stand still, and neither can we. When certifications, manufacturer training, or additional education make sense for your role, we want to help you keep learning.
Variety - If your dream job is pulling the exact same cable through the exact same ceiling every day for the next ten years, this probably is not it. Our work crosses networking, IT, surveillance, access control, physical security, voice, construction, and other technologies.
A Chance to Build Something - We are still growing. That means good ideas matter, good work gets noticed, and the systems and standards you help us build today can become the way we operate tomorrow.
