• 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

• 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
