IP Lynx Inc.

Windsor-Essex County, Ontario

Full-Time, Permanent

$26.00–$30.00 per hour to start

IP Lynx Inc. is looking for a Low Voltage & Security Systems Technician to join our growing team.

We are a locally owned technology integrator serving commercial customers throughout Windsor-Essex and surrounding areas. Our work includes surveillance, access control, telecom, networking, intercoms, paging, structured cabling, fibre, managed services, and related commercial technology systems.

This is not intended to be a basic cable-pulling position.

We are looking for someone who is hands-on, technically inclined, dependable, and interested in developing into a well-rounded systems technician who can eventually install, troubleshoot, program, and commission complete systems.

What You'll Be Working On

Our technicians work across a variety of commercial systems, including:

- IP surveillance cameras
- Access control systems
- Intercom systems
- Hosted and on-premise VoIP systems
- Structured cabling
- Fibre optic cabling
- Commercial networking and Wi-Fi
- Paging systems
- Video monitoring systems
- Security integrations
- Equipment racks and network infrastructure
- Related low-voltage and technology systems

Because we work across several technologies, no two weeks are exactly the same.

What You'll Be Doing

Responsibilities may include

- Running CAT5e, CAT6, fibre and other low-voltage cabling
- Terminating and testing cabling
- Installing surveillance cameras
- Installing access control readers, controllers and associated hardware
- Installing intercoms and communication devices
- Installing network racks, switches, patch panels and related equipment
- Mounting devices and equipment professionally
- Using ladders and lifts as required
- Installing cable pathways and completing clean cable management
- Troubleshooting wiring and device issues
- Performing basic network and IP configuration
- Assisting with system programming and commissioning
- Completing service calls
- Diagnosing system faults
- Working from drawings and scopes of work
- Labelling and documenting completed installations
- Communicating with customers and other trades on site
- Keeping job sites, equipment and work areas organized
- Supporting senior technicians on more advanced projects

As your technical abilities develop, you will have opportunities to take on more responsibility in system programming, networking, commissioning and advanced troubleshooting.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who:
- Is comfortable working with tools
- Takes pride in clean, professional workmanship
- Can work independently
- Is comfortable working on ladders and lifts
- Has good troubleshooting skills
- Is comfortable using computers and laptops
- Understands basic IP networking or is willing to learn
- Can follow drawings and instructions
- Communicates professionally with customers




- Is dependable and organized
- Wants to continue learning and developing technically
- Can take ownership of assigned work

The ideal candidate does not need to know every product or platform we use. We are more interested in someone who understands the fundamentals, can think through problems, learns quickly, and wants to become a strong all-around technician.

Experience That Would Be an Asset

Experience in any of the following areas would be considered an asset:

- CCTV / surveillance
- Access control
- Structured cabling
- Fibre
- Telecom
- VoIP
- Networking
- Commercial Wi-Fi
- Low-voltage electrical work
- Intercom systems
- Paging systems
- Alarm or security systems

Experience with platforms such as the following is helpful but not required:
- DW Spectrum / Nx Witness
- ICT Protege
- Akuvox
- Yeastar
- Managed network equipment
- PoE systems
- VLANs and general network configuration

Training can be provided on the systems we use.

What Success Looks Like

We want technicians who eventually become capable of taking a project from start to finish.

That means being able to receive a scope of work, drawings and equipment and turn that into a clean, tested and functioning installation.

We care about details such as:

- Clean cable routing
- Proper labelling
- Good equipment layout
- Professional racks and panels
- Testing your own work
- Troubleshooting problems before leaving site
- Cleaning up after yourself
- Documenting completed work
- Leaving the customer with an installation we are proud to put our name on

Compensation Starting wage: $26.00–$30.00 per hour, depending on experience and technical ability.

This position has a clear opportunity for growth.

Technicians who become capable of independently installing, troubleshooting, programming and commissioning systems can progress into the $30–$36/hour range as their skill level and responsibility increase.

Senior and lead technical positions have additional earning potential.

We are looking for someone who wants to build a career and grow into greater technical responsibility over time.
