The right person needs to be technically capable, organized, dependable, comfortable communicating with customers, and able to identify problems before they become emergencies.

You will work closely with our Director of Technology and ownership to turn engineered systems into successful installations in the field.

Responsibilities

• Lead commercial low-voltage and AV installations from prewire through final installation
• Direct and assist technicians on active jobsites
