Junior Rigger Jobs in Melbourne, FL (NOW HIRING)

At Churchfront, we are convinced that technology-when combined with enduring truths-has the power to reveal new possibilities in ministry. As a national AVL integrator, we support churches throughout the United States by designing and installing clear, dependable, and distraction-free systems that enable churches to utilize technology wisely and enhance their impact in the kingdom.
We are seeking an AVL Junior Technician to join our on-site installation team. This is an entry-level position intended for individuals eager to learn, ready to work diligently, and enthusiastic about pursuing a career in AVL technology-prior experience is not required.
About the Role
The AVL Junior Technician role is a practical, field-oriented position where you will gain hands-on experience in audio, video, and lighting installation from the basics up. Under the guidance of our Installation Foreman and senior technicians, you will hone your skills in essential installation tasks-such as cable pulling, terminations, equipment mounting, rack assembly, and basic rigging-while contributing to significant projects in active construction and renovation settings.
This is not a desk job. You will be climbing ladders, working in ceilings, and staying on your feet all day. We are committed to investing in your development, but we expect you to bring enthusiasm, humility, and a strong desire to improve every single day.
What You'll Be Doing
Installation Execution
Assist in tasks such as cable pulls, terminations, labeling, testing, equipment mounting, and rack assembly under the mentorship of senior technicians and the Installation Foreman. Learn to interpret and follow installation plans and cabling schematics provided by our design and engineering team. Aim to achieve exceptional results in every task-attention to detail and adherence to Churchfront's standards and industry best practices should be considered the minimum requirement.
Job Site Preparation & Maintenance
Contribute to job site preparation-unloading and organizing equipment, verifying inventory against project documentation, and arranging materials for optimal workflow. Ensure a clean, safe, and organized workspace throughout each project. Take responsibility for the care of tools and equipment, ensuring installation kits are fully stocked and ready for use.
Rigging Support
Assist with rigging tasks under close supervision, learning safe practices for hanging speakers, displays, and lighting fixtures in accordance with manufacturer specifications, structural requirements, and industry standards.
Communication & Professionalism
Keep your team updated-report progress, raise issues promptly, and communicate any material needs to the Foreman or project manager. Don't hesitate to ask questions if you are uncertain. When interacting with church staff, general contractors, and other trades on-site, you are representing Churchfront-act accordingly.
Training & Development
Proactively work on enhancing your skills from your first day-be attentive, take notes, seek feedback, and pursue certifications as they become available. While we will provide mentorship and a structured training path, your motivation is key.
Team Participation
Actively engage in project preparation, team meetings, and company events. Keep your credentials for company tools and systems up-to-date. Submit hours, expense reports, and time-off requests punctually. Assist with shop assembly, equipment preparation, and other tasks as needed between field deployments..
