Freelance Audio Visual Programmer Jobs in Brandon, FL

Description

Innovative Sight & Sound is a leading technology integrator serving luxury residential and commercial clients throughout the Southeast. We design, install, and support sophisticated home technology systems, including automation, audio/video, lighting control, motorized shades, security, surveillance, and managed networks.

For more than 20 years and with 6 locations, our team has built its reputation on excellent work, clear communication, and dependable service. As our client base continues to grow, we are looking for an experienced A/V Technician to help keep our clients' systems operating reliably and deliver an exceptional service experience.

The Senior A/V Technician is responsible for diagnosing, repairing, maintaining, and enhancing technology systems in clients' homes and businesses.

This is primarily a service-focused position rather than a new-construction installation role. The ideal candidate is an experienced technician who enjoys troubleshooting, can work independently, communicates well with clients, and takes ownership of problems through resolution.

Service calls may involve home automation, audio/video, networking, lighting control, surveillance, security, motorized shades, and other connected-home systems. Some small installations, equipment replacements, upgrades, and retrofit work will also be part of the role.

• Diagnose and resolve issues involving audio/video, automation, networking, lighting control, surveillance, security, and motorized shade systems
• Perform scheduled service calls, system inspections, and preventive maintenance visits
• Troubleshoot system performance through both on-site and remote diagnostic tools
• Identify the underlying cause of recurring issues rather than applying temporary fixes
• Replace, configure, update, and test equipment when repairs or upgrades are needed
• Complete small retrofit installations and system enhancements in finished homes
• Provide clients with clear explanations of system issues, recommended solutions, and completed work
• Confirm that systems are fully operational and that the client is comfortable using them before leaving
• Document service findings, work performed, equipment used, and recommended follow-up
• Escalate advanced programming, design, or infrastructure issues to the appropriate internal team member
• Coordinate with service management, programmers, project managers, and other technicians when additional support is required
• Protect the client's home, furnishings, and privacy while maintaining a clean and professional work environment
• Participate in occasional urgent or after-hours service support as scheduled

• Experience servicing equipment racks, displays, projectors, speakers, amplifiers, receivers, streaming devices, and control interfaces

• Valid driver's license and clean driving record
