Why Being a Security Service Technician Is the Coolest Job You Can Get — And Why Volta Is Where You Start

Welcome to one of the fastest-growing, most future-proof, and underrated careers in the tech world.

Being a Security Service Technician means stepping into a world where no two days are the same. You're the person people rely on to fix, fine-tune, and upgrade the systems that keep our schools, hospitals, factories, and offices safe.

This job is about smart work, not hard labor. You’re solving real problems, working with the latest tech, and walking through doors that most people never even get near.

And the best part? You can get started without a degree — just the right hands-on training from Volta Technical School, where we prepare you to hit the field running.

This Industry Doesn’t Slow Down — And Neither Will You

While other industries deal with layoffs, recessions, or outsourcing, the security technology field is growing rapidly. We’re talking about:

• Millions of cameras needing service
• Thousands of access control doors requiring updates
• Constant repairs, upgrades, and improvements

Whether it's surveillance, alarms, or access control, someone has to keep it all running. That someone is you.

At Volta Technical School, we train you to step into this high-demand role — fast, smart, and with confidence.

What Does a Service Technician Do?

As a Security Service Technician, you’re not just doing maintenance. You’re the person who:

• Diagnoses camera and system issues
• Services access control panels and readers
• Responds to false alarms or offline systems
• Updates firmware, reprograms devices, and replaces parts
• Configures mobile viewing, remote alerts, and networked devices

When you train with Volta Technical School, you learn how to handle these responsibilities using real equipment and real-world scenarios, not just theory.

This Is Tech-Driven Work — Not Dirty Labor

No, you're not crawling under a sink or breaking concrete. You're:

• Checking live camera feeds
• Configuring smart access control dashboards
• Calibrating motion detectors and sensors
• Testing devices with diagnostic tools
• Solving problems with your head, not just your hands

At Volta, we show you how to work smarter, not harder — using modern tools, software, and logic to troubleshoot like a pro.

Where Do Service Techs Go?

One of the best parts of this job is you’re always somewhere new, working behind the scenes at places most people will never get into:

• Hospitals
• Government buildings
• Schools and universities
• Retail stores and shopping malls
• Corporate offices and skyscrapers
• Factories and warehouses
• Stadiums and entertainment venues
• Police departments and correctional facilities
• Airports and logistics centers

While others sit at a desk, you’re out solving real problems in the field — and gaining experience with every visit.

Always in Demand. Always Moving Forward.

The best part? This industry never stops.

• Video surveillance and access control demand grows every year
• Older systems constantly need service and upgrades
• Companies need techs — and they pay well for them
