Commercial Av Technology In Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

The ideal candidate loves AV  and works with minimal direction.  We're a company of AV engineering and project management geeks that like to work with other problem solvers.  Our goal for this specific person is to advance them to either an AV Engineering or Project Management role in 2-5 years.

Every company has pros and cons.  VIBE Design is a small company handling relatively large and complex AV projects.  This means we have zero bureaucracy or office politics, but also lack rigidly structured systems.  If you're looking for a job where your every function is mechanically spelled out, look elsewhere.  Our team members are actively involved with a constant eye on improving our workflows and processes.
