Training Opportunities

To make sure our customers enjoy a stellar experience from our team, we want our engineers to be the most skilled and knowledgeable around.

From sponsoring staff to achieve industry-recognised qualifications to running ‘buddy’ schemes and delivering manufacturer-specific training courses, we are continually enhancing our engineers’ skills in a range of ways. 

Learn from the best

All engineers at ECS benefit from 1-2-1 training with experienced security and fire safety professionals. Regardless of your level of experience, you’ll be paired up with several established engineers while you’re learning with us, so you gain a comprehensive understanding of the different areas of our business.

You can expect your role to be very hands on from day one. You’ll have plenty of chances to get stuck in and ask as many questions as you need.

Your probation period will last for 3 months, and we’ll check in with you at the 4, 8 and 12-week stages to make sure your development is on track. Once we’ve offered you a full contract of employment, we’ll carry out official reviews every year; these are a great chance for us to discuss your progress and set new goals.

Ultimately, however, we’ll always be on hand to discuss new learning opportunities. The sky’s the limit when it comes to training at ECS, and if you have an idea, we’ll help you make it happen.

Josh, Engineer since 2023

“I wanted to develop my skills in different areas of the security systems industry. Working at ECS has enabled me to accelerate my training, not to mention familiarise myself with cutting edge technologies. My goal is to keep learning so I can become more experienced and give even more to the business in future. Every day is different, and I love going to different sites. My colleagues are organised, great at problem solving, and very sociable; they’re a great group of people to work with.”

Andy, Sales Team since 2024

“Initially, I was intrigued by ECS’ regular social media posts. I saw that the team was looking for new surveyors and decided to give the role a shot. I’ve been warmly welcomed ever since, and it’s been fantastic working alongside such hard-working professionals. Each department here is rapidly expanding, which is exciting to see. I hope to play a role in the company’s continued growth and I’m looking forward to what the future holds.”

Dan Strong, Engineer since 2016

“I finished Sixth Form and had no idea what career path I wanted to pursue. I asked if there was a trainee opportunity at ECS and the directors allowed me to work with the installation department before moving to the projects team to develop my skills in this area. The quality of work achieved here is second to none, and we have a great team that really gets along. Having just started in a more technical role, I’m excited to increase my knowledge and eventually transition into management”

Luigi, Engineer since 2018

I’ve finally found a place that gives me the freedom to practice my knowledge and enhance my skills, and where I can be part of a team that really cares about its customers and each other. I love the fact we are such a dynamic group, both in the office and out in the field – and that we are always open to embracing new technology and expanding into different areas of business.
