  • Guard Dog Networks
  • Nashville, TN

Job Description

Guard Dog Networks is a Nashville-based low-voltage integrator specializing in fire alarm, access control, security systems, AV, and networking. We're building out our fire alarm service line and looking for a lead technician to own it — with crossover into security and access control as needed.What you'll do

  • Install, inspect, test, and service fire alarm systems on commercial projects across Middle Tennessee
  • Read and work from blueprints, as-builts, and riser diagrams
  • Pull and close permits; complete AHJ inspections independently
  • Program and commission fire alarm control panels (Fire-Lite, Silent Knight, Potter, or equivalent)
  • Pull and terminate Cat6 and low-voltage data cabling as needed across project types
  • Support access control and security camera installations alongside fire alarm work
  • Document work clearly — service reports, inspection records, and job notes
  • Represent GDN professionally on job sites alongside GCs, owners, and inspectors
What we're looking for
  • NICET Level I required; Level II strongly preferred
  • 3+ years of hands-on fire alarm installation and service experience
  • Experience with Fire-Lite, Silent Knight, or Potter panels a plus — panel brand matters less than overall competency
  • Comfortable running conduit, pulling wire, and terminating devices correctly
  • Comfortable pulling and terminating Cat6/low-voltage data cabling — this is a cross-discipline role and you'll regularly support access control and camera system installations alongside fire alarm work
  • Clean driving record and valid TN driver's license
  • Ability to pass a background check
What we offer
  • Competitive pay based on experience — we pay for NICET and what you know
  • Company-paid NICET exam fees and study materials — we invest in your certification path at every level
  • Health insurance — BCBS Silver plan with $35 primary care copays and $0 Teladoc
  • 80 hours PTO from day one, increasing to 120 hours after 3 years — and we actually require you to use it
  • 13 paid holidays (including the day after the Super Bowl)
  • Company vehicle or truck allowance
  • All tools and PPE provided
  • Company uniforms provided
  • $75/day per diem on out-of-town work
Who we are

Guard Dog was founded to build smarter, safer, more connected spaces using technology that works for people. We're not a large corporation with layers of management between you and the people making decisions. You'll have real ownership of your work, a team that respects your expertise, and the opportunity to help shape a service line from the ground up.

  • Our core values:  Service Comes First. Honesty Always. Generous by Nature. Built on Respect. Grace in Every Challenge. If those aren't just buzzwords to you, you'll fit right in here.
