Responsibilities:

• Diagnose and repair audio, video, lighting, and power equipment flagged as faulty.
• Solder and repair equipment components, including cabling, connectors, and circuit boards.
• Test, calibrate, and verify wireless mic systems, lighting fixtures, and video wall panels before returning them to rental‑ready inventory.
• Inspect road cases, casters, latches, and rigging hardware, and flag issues for repair by the Fabrication Department.
• Log repairs and track parts orders in the inventory management system.
• Initiate and track manufacturer RMAs and outside vendor repairs when equipment needs factory service.
• Maintain an organized repair bench and manage spare parts/consumables stock, flagging reorder needs.

• Warehouse‑based role, with some exposure to dust, noise, and temperature variation typical of a working warehouse.
