Av Contractor information

What is an AV contractor?

AV contractors, or audiovisual contractors, are professionals or companies that specialize in designing, installing, and maintaining audio and visual systems. These systems can include projectors, sound systems, video conferencing equipment, digital signage, and more, typically for businesses, schools, entertainment venues, or public spaces. AV contractors assess client needs, recommend appropriate solutions, and ensure that all equipment is installed and integrated for optimal performance. They may also provide ongoing technical support and system upgrades as technology evolves.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as an AV contractor?

To thrive as an AV Contractor, you need expertise in audio-visual system installation, troubleshooting, and integration, often supported by relevant technical certifications or vocational training. Familiarity with industry-standard tools and software such as Crestron, Extron, AutoCAD, and AVIXA CTS certification is typically required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are important soft skills for successful project execution and client interaction. These competencies ensure that complex AV projects are completed efficiently, safely, and to the satisfaction of clients.

What are common challenges AV contractors face when working on large-scale projects?

AV Contractors often encounter challenges such as coordinating with multiple trades, managing tight project timelines, and adapting to changes in client requirements. Ensuring seamless integration of audio-visual systems with existing infrastructure and troubleshooting technical issues on-site can also be complex. Success in this role requires strong communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to collaborate effectively with project managers, electricians, and IT professionals throughout the installation process.

About the Role

Professional Audio Designs, Inc. is hiring AV Installation Technicians to support high-end commercial audio visual projects across the country. Our work includes performing arts centers, houses of worship, athletic facilities, and corporate environments.


This role is a strong fit for someone with hands-on construction, carpentry, mechanical, low-voltage, rigging, or technical installation experience who also has a real interest in audio, music, sound systems, or AV technology.


You do not need to be a licensed electrician, and commercial AV experience is preferred but not required. The right person will be mechanically inclined, comfortable working on active job sites, able to read plans or learn to read them, and willing to travel for project work.


What You’ll Do

  • Install commercial audio visual systems in high-end project environments.
  • Pull, route, terminate, and label AV cabling.
  • Mount and install equipment such as speakers, displays, projectors, racks, and control panels.
  • Read and interpret drawings, schematics, and project plans.
  • Identify field conditions that may conflict with drawings and help solve installation challenges.
  • Fabricate and organize equipment racks.
  • Troubleshoot wiring, equipment, and installation issues in the field.
  • Document site details such as serial numbers, IP addresses, equipment locations, and completed work.
  • Maintain a clean, safe, and organized job site.
  • Work closely with lead technicians, project managers, and field teams.


What We’re Looking For

  • Hands-on mechanical, construction, carpentry, automotive, low-voltage, or technical installation experience.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think ahead on a job site.
  • Interest in audio, music, sound systems, or AV technology.
  • Ability to measure, drill, level, mount, assemble, and troubleshoot.
  • Willingness to travel overnight up to 40% of the time.
  • Ability to lift up to 75 lbs. and carry up to 50 lbs. regularly.
  • High school diploma or GED.
  • Reliable, safety-minded, and comfortable working as part of a field crew.


Preferred Experience

  • Commercial AV installation experience.
  • Low-voltage wiring or structured cabling experience.
  • Basic rigging experience.
  • Experience reading blueprints, schematics, or construction drawings.
  • Familiarity with AV cables, switchers, routers, racks, speakers, displays, or control systems.
  • Soldering or cable termination experience.
  • Basic Windows and Microsoft Office skills.


Compensation & Benefits

  • $25–$33 per hour, based on experience.
  • Overtime potential.
  • Annual bonus opportunities.
  • Four weeks of PTO beginning on day one.
  • Eleven paid holidays and five personal days annually.
  • Immediate 3% employer 401(k) contribution with no personal match required.
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Company-paid life insurance.
  • Company-paid long-term disability insurance.
  • Paid training, safety certifications, manufacturer training, and apprenticeship opportunities.
  • Travel expenses covered with per diem.
  • Company uniforms, safety equipment, and technology package provided.
