• 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.
