What are some common challenges faced by AV assistants during live events, and how can they be managed?

AV Assistants often encounter challenges such as last-minute technical issues, time constraints, and coordinating with multiple teams during live events. To manage these, it's important to stay organized, conduct thorough equipment checks beforehand, and maintain clear communication with event coordinators, presenters, and the lead AV technician. Being adaptable and proactive in troubleshooting can help ensure that any issues are resolved quickly, minimizing disruptions and contributing to a smooth event experience.

Job description

We are looking for a reliable, hands-on person to help our lead installer with day-to-day project work. This is a great role for someone who wants to learn the AV / low-voltage trade and grow with a small company.


There will be some desk work as well. Additionally, you will be helping with installs, preparing materials, picking up equipment, organizing inventory, and making sure our team has what they need for each job.


Responsibilities

  • Assist the lead installer on job sites
  • Help mount TVs, speakers, cameras, network equipment, and other AV products
  • Pull, label, and organize cable and materials
  • Load and unload equipment for jobs
  • Pick up and deliver materials when needed
  • Pull products from inventory for upcoming installations
  • Keep inventory organized and help track what was used on each job
  • Help clean up job sites and keep work areas organized
  • Take notes/photos of completed work when needed
  • Communicate clearly with the team about missing parts, damaged items, or unfinished work
  • Help with basic scheduling and project follow-up as needed
  • Learn our systems, standards, and installation process over time


Ideal Candidate

  • Reliable, punctual, and willing to work hard
  • Hands-on and comfortable using basic tools
  • Organized and detail-oriented
  • Comfortable working in homes and around clients
  • Able to lift and move equipment
  • Willing to learn AV, networking, wiring, smart home systems, and low-voltage installation
  • Good communicator and team player
  • Has a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
  • Takes pride in clean work and doing things the right way


Nice to Have

Experience in any of the following is helpful, but not required:

  • AV installation
  • Low-voltage wiring
  • Electrical helper work
  • Construction or handyman work
  • Security camera installation
  • Networking / Wi-Fi equipment
  • Warehouse or inventory work
  • Delivery or field service work


Schedule

This is an in-person role. Most work will be at client homes and job sites in the Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia area.


Compensation

Pay depends on experience. We are open to someone newer who is motivated and wants to learn, or someone with basic AV / low-voltage experience who can contribute right away.

Company Description

District-AV is a growing residential technology company based in the DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia area.

We help homeowners, builders, designers, and architects with smart home systems, networking, Wi-Fi, TVs, speakers, lighting control, shades, cameras, and other low-voltage technology. Our goal is to make home technology simple, clean, reliable, and easy to use.

We are a small team, which means everyone has an important role and no one is stuck doing just one thing. Some days are spent organizing materials and projects, some days are spent helping the install team, and other days are spent coordinating schedules, orders, and client follow-up.

We care about doing good work, staying organized, communicating clearly, and doing what we say we are going to do. We are looking for someone reliable, sharp, hands-on, and willing to learn. As we grow, there is room for the right person to take on more responsibility and grow with the company.
