Relevant certifications, such as NICET, IPC or manufacturer-specific certifications, are an advantage rather than a strict requirement.

Where to find and apply safely

Apply only through the original Careers24 listing, using the Apply button on this page, which links directly to that advert. Do not pay anyone to secure this job, and do not share banking details or passwords with anyone claiming to arrange the placement. If a message about this vacancy asks for money, treat it as a scam and report it.

Practical tips

Because this is a field role, make your application specific. Mention the systems you have installed or serviced, such as access control or video surveillance, and give a short example of a fault you diagnosed and fixed on site. State your qualification, your driving record and your availability to travel to client sites, since the advert lists all three. If you hold a NICET, IPC or manufacturer certification, name it clearly, as it strengthens an application even though it is not compulsory.

How the process works

Applications are submitted through the Careers24 listing for this vacancy. The recruiter reviews applications against the stated requirements, and shortlisted candidates are contacted for the next steps. The closing date given in the advert is 28 November 2026, so apply well before then, as late applications may not be considered.
