Role OverviewDigital Provisions is seeking an elite
Senior Field Technician (Foreman Track) to lead complex commercial security installations and service operations. This role is for professionals with 7+ years of high-level commercial security integration experience who can independently execute, program, commission, and troubleshoot advanced access control, VMS, and low-voltage systems without requiring engineering oversight. Senior Field Technicians remain hands-on while also leading crews, sequencing work, owning job-site execution, and enforcing installation standards. This role is a direct pipeline to Foreman for individuals who consistently perform at a high level. After a 3-6 month performance-based probationary period, candidates who demonstrate leadership, technical mastery, and low rework rates will transition into the Foreman role with expanded operational responsibility. This is not an entry-level leadership role. We are looking for technicians who already operate at a lead level.
