Lead Installer Lead the crew, master the build, and protect what matters most. At Total Security Solutions (TSS), we protect people and property from physical attacks. We are looking for an experienced Lead Installer with a strong background in construction, hands-on field leadership, and a commitment to precision craftsmanship.

If you thrive in the field, take pride in flawless fit-and-finish, and know how to keep a crew moving safely and efficiently, this is your next career move. Why Join Total Security Solutions?

Work side-by-side with your crew to measure, cut, fasten barrier components, read blueprints, and operate heavy machinery, including Hi-Los. Perform punch lists, inspect final fit-and-finish quality to satisfy the TSS Standard of Excellence, and collect sign-offs. Lead daily DOT pre-trip inspections, manage ELD hours, keep track of job site materials, and report daily progress back to management.

What We’re Looking For 5+ years of carpentry or construction experience with a sharp eye for fit, finish, and detail. 2+ years of field leadership leading a construction or contracting crew. Experience operating heavy machinery and Hi-Los safely (certification preferred). Ability to travel up to 75% of the time (typically up to twice per month for 5–10 days at a time).

Valid Chauffeur’s license with a clean driving record, working knowledge of DOT and ELD logging requirements (or willingness to train), and basic tech skills using Google and Microsoft products for daily reporting.

Ability to lift 80+ lbs, climb ladders, work in tight spaces or at heights, and stand for extended periods. OSHA 10/30 certifications, shop experience, or contractor background are a plus. Location & Work Environment Based out of our Fowlerville, MI shop when not traveling in the field. Requires up to 75% overnight travel (all travel expenses covered).
