• Contribute to technical documentation, as‑built validation, and knowledge transfer to DC client staff
• Communicate technical concepts and recommendations to senior technical staff and leadership as needed

Required Experience & Skills

• Experience equivalent to a Journeyman Technical Specialist (approximately 6–10 years)
• Demonstrated expertise supporting AV, infrastructure, or enterprise technology systems
• Proven experience providing technical leadership on large‑scale or complex implementations
• Strong understanding of system integration concepts, including network, security, and control dependencies
• Ability to communicate technical and functional concepts clearly to technical and non‑technical audiences

• Experience supporting AV or infrastructure systems in schools, government agencies, or large institutional environments
• Experience coordinating technical work alongside construction or facilities modernization projects

• Experience developing or enforcing technical standards and best practices
