Job description

AV Design & Project Manager

Company: Xtek Partners

Location: Dublin / Columbus, Ohio (on-site with travel to job sites)

Reports To: SVP of Technology

Employment Type: Full-Time

Position Summary

We're looking for an experienced AV professional who can own projects end-to-end: from initial design and system specification through installation oversight, commissioning, and client handoff. This is a hybrid role — you'll be in CAD/design software one day and running a job site or coordinating subcontractors the next. You'll work closely with our existing security and low-voltage teams, and there's real opportunity to help shape how AV integrates into our broader systems offering as this practice grows.

What You'll Do

Design

● Design commercial AV systems for conference rooms, boardrooms, huddle spaces, training rooms, digital signage, and multi-purpose/event spaces

● Design paging and PA/intercom systems (bell schedules, mass notification, zoned paging) for K-12, commercial, and multi-building campus environments

● Produce system schematics, signal flow diagrams, and equipment schedules (AutoCAD, Visio, or D-Tools/similar)

● Select and specify AV hardware across our core platforms — Atlona (AV distribution/switching), QSC (DSP/control), Shure (audio/microphones), Newline (displays/interactive panels), Epson (projection), ClickShare (wireless presentation), Algo (paging, PA, and intercom systems), Netgear (AV-over-IP networking), and Paragon/Prism (as applicable to project scope)

● Coordinate AV design with electrical, low-voltage cabling, and IT/network infrastructure requirements

● Prepare scopes of work, BOMs, and pricing input for proposals and estimates

Project Management

● Own project budgets, schedules, and subcontractor/vendor coordination from kickoff through closeout

● Serve as primary client point of contact during execution — managing expectations, change orders, and site logistics

● Oversee field technicians and subcontractors during rough-in, trim, and commissioning

● Run system testing, programming verification, and client training at project close

● Manage submittals, RFIs, and as-built documentation

Cross-Functional

● Partner with the security/technology team on projects where AV overlaps with access control, surveillance, or structured cabling

● Help build out repeatable design standards and pricing tools as the AV practice scales

What You Bring

● 5+ years in commercial AV, with demonstrated experience in both system design and project management

● Working knowledge of AV distribution, DSP/control, and conferencing platforms — experience with Atlona, QSC, Shure, Newline, ClickShare, Epson, Algo, Netgear, Paragon, or Prism strongly preferred; video conferencing systems (Zoom Rooms, Teams Rooms, Cisco)

● Experience with paging/PA and mass notification system design (IP-based paging, bell scheduling, zoned announcements)

● Comfort reading architectural/electrical drawings and coordinating with GCs, electricians, and IT

● CTS certification (CTS-D and/or CTS-I strongly preferred)

● Experience managing project budgets, schedules, and subcontractors

● Strong client-facing communication — able to run a project meeting and a job site with equal confidence

● Valid driver's license; ability to travel to job sites across Central Ohio

Nice to Have

● Experience in K-12, higher-ed, or government environments (E-rate/prevailing wage familiarity a plus)

● Familiarity with structured cabling and low-voltage standards
