I am an Access Control Engineer with a Networking background. I work within a very tight skillset, but am good at what I do - think of me as the Red Adair of Access Control - as well as installation work, I can provide second or third line support for problems than seem intractable.
Companies employ me because I am very responsive - always at the end of the phone and I get the work done, whether it is installation or troubleshooting, often where others have failed.
I am quite choosy about what projects I take on as I am usually pretty busy. I live in Maidenhead, Berkshire and will only take on work that I can comfortably get to each day - so no more than about 50 mile radius. I will make an exception for warm places with beaches nearby, however.
Currently (2019) I am working with two large councils in London installing New and supporting Legacy equipment.
My Skillset
Access Control - experienced with Borer, Comelit and Paxton Net2 Systems. Paxton Silver Level Installer. BPT Trained.
Access Control concepts are the same, whatever they system so I can usually pick up and work with any brand if needed.
Networking - Strong Networking Background supporting my troubleshooting skills
Lock installation - Electric strikes, maglocks etc as well as general door hardware
Intercom installation - can do this as part of a project, not mainstream skills, though
Low level lock picking - can gain access to relatively simple locks and sometimes there are other ways of gaining access - ask! Claim to fame - I broke into a jewellers once when staff locked themselves out.
