What this job asks for AI summary
This role sits at the intersection of hands-on physical security work and construction project coordination. The engineer installs, configures, and maintains enterprise access control and video systems — including Genetec platforms, IP cameras, HID readers, and video wall technology — while also managing those deployments within active construction and renovation projects. It suits someone with a field-technical background who can also track milestones, read construction drawings, and coordinate across contractors and internal teams.

Why we read it this way (6)
This role sits at the intersection of physical security systems engineering and construction project management — it does not map cleanly to any standard computer/mathematical SOC. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest fit; 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is the runner-up, though the role is primarily hands-on physical/low-voltage installation rather than cyber/information security analysis.
The degree requirement lists a Bachelor's in Engineering, IT, or Construction Management but explicitly accepts 'equivalent/relevant professional experience in lieu of a degree' — treated as no hard degree gate.
6+ years of physical security/low-voltage/access control experience is the stated overall experience floor; the 3+ years of project management experience is a separate stated requirement but is not tied to a named technology, so it is captured in the overall years minimum at the higher 6-year figure.
VuWall is listed under required hands-on experience but with '(VuWall preferred)' as a parenthetical — this qualifier applies to the specific brand, not to GSOC/video wall experience generally, so VuWall is marked required (the capability is gated) while the parenthetical signals the named brand is the preferred substitute.
Industry certifications (Genetec, Lenel, S2, or low-voltage licensing) and Genetec certification appear separately under Preferred Qualifications — marked as preferred accordingly.
The role is explicitly in-office Monday–Friday in Richmond, VA; remote is false. Up to 35% travel is required.
