Role Description The AV Service Technician is a full-time hybrid role based in South Salt Lake, UT, with some work-from-home flexibility for administrative and remote support tasks. This role involves installing, configuring, maintaining, and repairing audio, video, and smart home systems in residential and commercial environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Diagnose and repair issues in installed AV and smart home systems (Control4, Lutron, Savant, Crestron, etc.).

• Troubleshoot wired and wireless networks, including managed switches, VLANs, QoS, DHCP/DNS, VPN, and remote access configuration.

• Provide endpoint and device support across a wide mix of hardware — touch panels, streamers, displays, cameras, access points, and IoT devices.

• Service and recalibrate lighting systems, motorized shades, alarm systems, and distributed audio/video systems.

• Perform firmware updates, factory resets, and reprogramming as needed.

• Use remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools to triage issues before and during site visits.

• Communicate with clients to assess problems and clearly explain the service actions taken.

• Document all diagnostics, parts used, and service resolutions clearly and professionally in our ticketing system.

• Collaborate with the engineering, installation, and programming teams to resolve complex issues.

Critical Skills & Qualifications

We're looking for experienced technicians first — but we also invest heavily in training, so candidates with a solid technical foundation and gaps in specific platforms or technologies are encouraged to apply.

• Networking fundamentals: IP addressing, subnetting, VLANs, managed switch configuration (Araknis, Ubiquiti, Access Networks, or similar), wireless deployment, port forwarding, static IP assignment, and remote access setup.

• AV signal flow: understanding of HDMI, HDBaseT, audio/video distribution, and controlplatforms.

• Control system experience is a plus: hands-on work with Control4, Crestron, Lutron, or Savant — at any level, from programming and configuration down to basic exposure. We'll invest in your training for the rest.

• Ability to interpret system schematics, elevation drawings, and wiring diagrams.

• Experience with structured cabling: Cat5e/Cat6/RG6/RG11 installation, termination, and troubleshooting.

• Familiarity with service tools (meters, tone generators, crimpers, labelers, cable testers, etc.).

• Capable of working independently to resolve time-sensitive issues on-site.

• Strong communication and documentation skills — both verbal and written.

• Bonus: CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, CCNA, or manufacturer certifications

(Control4, Lutron, Araknis, Ubiquiti UniFi, etc.).

Additional Requirements

• U.S. Citizen with a valid driver's license and clean driving record.

• Must pass a drug screen and background check.

• Able to lift 50–75 pounds, work on ladders, and access crawl spaces and attics.

• Detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and customer-service focused.

• Willingness to occasionally travel or work extended hours as needed.

What We Offer

• Structured cross-training path for IT professionals transitioning into AV — manufacturer certifications supported by AVS.

• Company vehicle and fuel from shop to job sites.

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance (individual and family plans).

• 401(k) with match, PTO, and cell phone reimbursement.

• Monthly and quarterly team activities, plus tool reimbursement options.

• Fast-tracked growth for technicians who demonstrate skill, work ethic, and professionalism.
