Freelance Audio Visual Engineer Jobs in Hawaii (NOW HIRING)

Program. Commission. Solve Problems.

We're looking for the engineer everyone else calls when they're stuck.

The best AV engineers don't simply install equipment.

They make complex systems work.

They understand signal flow, control systems, DSP, networking, commissioning, and customer expectations. They're comfortable walking into a room where nobody can figure out the problem—and leaving with everything working.

If that's the kind of work you enjoy, we'd like to meet you.

• Communicate professionally with customers and teammates.
• Solve problems instead of assigning blame.
• Leave every installation better than they found it.

We're interested in engineers who care about craftsmanship as much as technical knowledge.

• Higher Education
• Government
• Military
• Corporate
• Healthcare
• Hospitality
• Large networked AV systems
• Enterprise control systems
