We Don’t Just Hire People - We Build Teammates.

Hudson is a different kind of security, doors, automation, and locksmithing company.

We’re part construction, part tech, part problem-solvers, part “MacGyver meets Mythbusters,” and part “laugh until someone snorts.”

We protect people, property, and livelihoods - and we never forget the responsibility that comes with that.

But we also celebrate National Pretzel Day.

We run rock-paper-scissors tournaments for a 5-pound chocolate bunny.

We roast each other’s inner nerds (lovingly), and we take pride in the fact that Hudson laughs together - a lot.

If that sounds like your kind of place… keep reading.

The Hudson Technical Career Ladder

At Hudson, your career grows with you. We don’t do dead-end positions.

Every field role falls into one of our five technical levels:

• Junior Technician: Learning, observing, improving. Hungry and dependable.
• Technician: Capable, confident, independent on smaller tasks, reliable backup on big ones.
• Lead Technician: Takes ownership of jobs, mentors others, and runs small teams.
• Senior Lead Technician: Top performer. Trusted with complex, custom, or high-stakes projects. Helps shape standards.
• Technical Operations & Sales (Inside Role): A highly respected next step for Senior Leads who want to:
  • Mentor and coach both field and office staff.
  • Work directly with clients.
  • Support project planning and quoting.
  • Strengthen the company with their experience.
  • Help build internal training and systems.

It’s a role built for leaders who want to grow their impact beyond the field.

Not Everyone Stays in One Lane - And That’s a Good Thing:

Some technicians discover they love working with customers.

Some get hooked on project planning.

Some become absolute wizards with AI tools or digital workflows.

At Hudson, you can transition into:

• Project Management.
• Sales & Estimation.
• Service Coordination.
• Business Operations.
• Internal Training & Systems Development.
• AI-enabled tools and knowledge management.

We’re not a company that says, “Stay in your lane.”

We’re a company that asks, “Where do you shine?”
