Build a Career in Commercial Security

At Safeguard Systems, our people are the reason more than 200 businesses across Berkshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire trust us with their security.
For over 30 years, we have designed, installed and maintained CCTV, access control, intruder alarm and perimeter protection systems for schools, warehouses, solar farms, car dealerships and everything in between.

We are growing, and we are always looking for skilled, reliable and curious people to grow with us. Whether you are an experienced security engineer, an electrician looking to specialise, or just starting out, there could be a place for you on our team.

Why work at Safeguard Systems?

No two weeks are the same. One day you could be commissioning CCTV at an Oxford college, the next installing thermal cameras on a solar farm or a Paxton access system in a busy office. Our work spans 15+ sectors and helps protect people, businesses and critical infrastructure.

A company with standards you can be proud of

We hold the accreditations serious security customers expect, including SSAIB certification, SafeContractor approval, Crown Commercial Service supplier status and Paxton Platinum Partner recognition. Our engineers are DBS checked and qualified, and we are committed to quality, safety and doing the job right.

Work with market-leading technology

You’ll work with leading brands including Avigilon, Milestone, Hikvision, Dahua, Paxton, Gallagher, Honeywell and Texecom. From Ultra HD CCTV and ANPR to thermal imaging, access control and remote monitoring, you’ll gain experience with technology that’s in high demand.

A close-knit, supportive team

We’re large enough to deliver complex projects but small enough to know everyone by name. Your ideas matter, your contribution is recognised, and experienced colleagues are always on hand to support you.

What we look for

Skills can be taught, but attitude matters most. The people who thrive at Safeguard Systems tend to be:

  • Reliable and professional: our customers trust us with their premises, so we expect punctuality, tidiness and respect on every site.
  • Practical problem-solvers: you enjoy working out why something isn’t working and fixing it properly first time.
  • Customer-focused: you can explain technical systems in plain English and leave customers confident using them.
  • Safety-conscious: you follow safe working practices and take pride in quality workmanship.
  • Keen to learn: security technology moves fast, and so do we.

For engineering roles, experience with CCTV, access control or intruder alarms is a big advantage, as is an electrical background.
A full UK driving licence is required for field roles.
All team members must be able to pass DBS and security vetting checks.
