Our client is a premier commercial technology integrator based in the Greenville, SC area, in business for decades and known for “doing it right the first time.” Their teams install and commission AV systems for boardrooms, conference and presentation spaces, Microsoft Teams rooms, and theater/auditorium environments. They are seeking a Level 3 AV Installation Technician who is a true craftsman, someone with the advanced technical maturity to arrive at a complex commercial construction or retrofit site and independently drive the project to completion, and who leaves every room in a state where a non-technical end user can walk in and run a meeting or presentation without help.

You will be responsible for the physical deployment, structural mounting, precision wiring, and initial configuration of complex systems including Professional Sound, Video Walls, Digital Signage, Microsoft Teams/UC rooms, BYOD presentation setups, and Automation Control. This position is for an expert-caliber installer who can manage a project vehicle, lead junior installers, and execute engineered line drawings flawlessly with zero supervision.

• Audio Testing & Handover: Test in-room audio for full room coverage and eliminate echo/feedback issues before sign-off; conduct final walkthroughs so end users can operate the system without assistance.
• Site Management & Leadership: Read and interpret architectural blueprints, structural details, and AV line drawings; manage on-site inventory, interface with general contractors, and mentor Level 1 and 2 installers.
• System Commissioning: Conduct initial signal flow testing, gain staging, and hardware verification to ensure the system is ready for final programming and handover.

Required Skills & Experience

• Experience: 5 - 8 years of verifiable experience in commercial AV installation, rack building, rough-in, and trim-out.
