About BRAVAS: At BRAVAS, we transform homes into extraordinary living experiences. As the nation’s #1 luxury technology integrator, we design and deliver premium solutions—lighting, shades, A/V, networking, home automation, and more, that make life effortless, beautiful, and connected. We partner with homeowners, architects, builders, and designers on some of the most spectacular homes in the country. And we’re growing.

The Role

We’re looking for a Lead Technician to bring deep expertise in residential pre-wire, programming, and service. This isn’t a commercial wiring role - it’s about shaping luxury living environments and delivering flawless smart home experiences.

As a Lead Technician, you’ll be hands-on in the field, guiding installs, troubleshooting issues, and mentoring technicians while working closely with project managers. You’ll set the standard for quality and precision, ensuring every detail—from pre-wire through programming—is done right the first time.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and execute residential pre-wire and trim-out work, ensuring projects are ready for seamless installs
• Program and configure control systems, networks, cameras, and NVRs to deliver intuitive, high-end experiences
• Perform service and troubleshooting calls with a client-first mindset
• Read and interpret residential blueprints, plans, and schematics
• Install and calibrate A/V systems, in-wall/in-ceiling speakers, and structured cabling (CAT5/6, coax, etc.)
• Serve as the point person on job sites - working with Project Managers, coordinating with trades, and clarifying client needs
• Maintain accurate job documentation and daily updates in project management software
• Mentor junior technicians, modeling best practices and craftsmanship
• Safeguard client confidentiality and ensure system/network security
• Participate in the on-call service rotation
• Manage tools, vehicle stock, and assigned company assets responsibly

What You Bring

• Residential expertise: Pre-wire, trim, and finish work experience in luxury home integration or related industry
• Strong programming skills with control systems, networks, and residential AV setups
• Service experience troubleshooting systems and solving problems quickly
• Ability to read residential construction plans and adapt installations accordingly
• Deep understanding of wiring fundamentals and construction techniques
• A strong attention to detail and pride in delivering premium-quality work
• Professional communication skills with the ability to represent BRAVAS well to homeowners, builders, and partners

Qualifications

• 5+ years of residential installation and service experience, with proven programming skills
• High school diploma or equivalent; technical training or low-voltage certifications a plus
• Strong computer and job management software skills
• Valid driver’s license, clean driving record, and ability to pass a background check
• Security license preferred

Physical Requirements

• Ability to lift and carry up to 60 pounds
• Comfortable working in tight spaces and at ladder heights
• Ability to work in varying environmental conditions (hot, cold, outdoor)

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Work on some of the most spectacular homes in the country
• Join a collaborative, supportive team that values both professionalism and fun
• Competitive pay + bonus opportunities
• Medical, dental, vision, HSA/FSA, 401(k), PTO, and paid holidays
