Job description

About Applied Video Technology, Inc. (AVT)

For more than 30 years, AVT has been at the forefront of designing and integrating professional audio‑visual and broadcast systems that elevate communication and collaboration. From education and enterprise environments to government facilities and houses of worship, our solutions shape the way people connect and share information.

Headquartered in Kimberton, PA, AVT is growing – and we're looking for a Systems Commissioning Specialist to join our team of industry‑leading AV professionals.

Why This Role Matters

As a Systems Commissioning Specialist, you will be the crucial final touch in bringing complex AV systems to life. You ensure that every component works exactly as intended. Your work directly impacts the client experience and is often the moment when the entire project comes together.

If you enjoy solving problems, working with cutting‑edge technology, and turning detailed engineering plans into operational excellence, this is your perfect fit.

What You’ll Do

In this role, you will take ownership of the commissioning phase of AV integration projects by:

Technical Execution

• Commission, test, and validate professional AV systems onsite and remotely.
• Load, test, and perform light edits to control system code and GUIs with remote programming support.
• Configure devices such as DSPs, control processors, and touch panels.
• Conduct minor programming updates to meet project functionality requirements.

Project Collaboration

• Work closely with Project Managers, Lead Technicians, Engineers, and Programmers to ensure system functionality aligns with the final Scope of Work.
• Identify issues in system performance, functionality, or design – and collaborate with the team to resolve.
• Assist with offsite commissioning tasks and coordination with field technicians.

Documentation & Turnover

• Maintain accurate system documentation, including as-built updates, configuration files, code, graphics, and testing notes.
• Prepare detailed daily reports covering completed tasks and outstanding items.
• Support client training at project closeout and help secure substantial completion signoff.

Additional Contributions

• Participate in punch list preparation, troubleshooting, and final system refinement.
• Uphold AVT's commitment to high-quality workmanship.

What You Bring To The Team

• 3+ years of experience in AV Integration, Unified Communications, or Networking.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
• Ability to manage details with precision and a sense of urgency.
• Competency reading architectural or engineering drawings.
• CTS or similar industry certifications (preferred).
• Willingness to travel as needed.
• Physical ability to handle extended standing/sitting and occasional heavy lifting.

Work Environment

You’ll work both onsite and in-office environments, with some travel required. Project schedules may occasionally extend beyond standard business hours – because great AV systems don’t always come together on a 9‑to‑5 timeline.
