Gate Automation Apprentice

About the role

We are looking for a Gate Automation Apprentice—someone eager to learn, hands-on, and ready to start a career in the security automation trade. This is not a typical helper role. You’ll work closely with a foreman, assisting with the installation of gate operators, access control systems, and other perimeter security devices, while learning the skills needed to eventually run your own projects.

What You’ll Do

• Assist a foreman with installation and service of gate operators and access control systems.
• Learn to read plans and understand project layouts.
• Use hand tools, power tools, and basic electrical/mechanical skills to support installations.
• Troubleshoot and assist in resolving installation challenges.
• Maintain a professional and safety-conscious work environment.

What We’re Looking For

• Highly motivated, curious, and eager to build a career in the trades.
• Basic knowledge of hand tools and power tools.
• Clean, professional appearance.
• Able to pass a drug screen and background check.
• Good driving record and a valid driver’s license.
• Strong work ethic and willingness to learn from experienced team members.

Keys to Success

• This role is ideal for someone looking to grow into a foreman-level position over time.
• Curiosity, attention to detail, and a desire to understand the full scope of gate automation and access control installations will set you apart.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive pay based on experience.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Paid time off & holidays.
• Opportunities for training, career growth, and advancement.
