We are looking for an AV/IT Systems Engineer who brings a strong customer service

This role is ideal for someone who is comfortable working independently, makes sound

decisions on their own, and proactively identifies ways to improve systems and user

systems, and conferencing technologies

• Support the setup, testing, and execution of live events, validating system readiness

support AV systems while following established network standards and best

practices.

• Troubleshoot and resolve issues across AV systems, workplace technology, and

basic network-related environments

• Provide initial triage support for general IT and end-user technology (monitors,

docks, peripherals, conferencing systems), escalating issues as needed

• Maintain a working understanding of power, cabling, signal flow, patching, routing,

and distribution systems

• Support and maintain video walls, digital signage platforms, and content

distribution systems

• Proactively identify opportunities to improve system reliability, user experience, and

operational efficiency

• Communicate system performance, risks, and recommendations to management

• Create and maintain clear documentation (diagrams, SOPs, how-to guides,

inventories)

• Coordinate with vendors and service providers for installations, service, and

diagnostics

• Support standardization of AV and technology solutions across multiple NBDG

locations

• Support and maintain video wall and digital signage technology solutions, including

installation, troubleshooting, and physical tasks requiring comfort with heights and

lifting moderately heavy AV equipment.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

What We’re Looking For:

• 2-5 years of experience in Audio-Visual Support, IT Support, AV production, or a

related technical role

• Hands-on experience supporting AV systems and general IT environments

• Experience with Microsoft 365 Office Suite (Outlook, Excel, Teams, Powerpoint)

• Understanding of core AV fundamentals including signal flow and system

components

• Strong organizational and documentation skills

• Ability to operate effectively with high-profile clients in live events and high-pressure environments

• Basic understanding of networking concepts

• Customer-friendly, positive, solutions-oriented mindset

• Ability to maintain a flexible work schedule, including occasional evenings and

weekend coverage, to support events and operational needs.

• Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical teams

(Preferred – not required):

• Experience with video conferencing systems, mixers, microphones, PTZ cameras

• Familiarity with Crestron, Q-SYS, digital signage, or AV-over-IP

• AVIXA CTS certification or interest in pursuing
