Job description

Company Overview

We are partnering with a highly respected and fast-growing custom integration firm based in the Washington, DC area. With a legacy rooted in engineering, innovation, and hands-on problem-solving, this integrator has been serving residential clients with white-glove smart home technology solutions for over four decades.

Originally founded by an electrical engineer with a passion for technology and creative thinking, the company has grown through word-of-mouth and a reputation for solving challenges others walk away from. Whether it’s a high-end home theater, structured cabling, or fully integrated automation systems, they consistently deliver systems that are beautifully installed and fully functional—down to the last detail.

Today, the business is run by a new generation of leadership, blending deep technical expertise with consulting-level service to bring thoughtful, intuitive smart home solutions to life. From luxury residential AV to networking and security, they approach every project with precision, care, and a deep commitment to doing things the right way.

This is a team that thrives on complex work, embraces continuous learning, and values humility, collaboration, and follow-through. Joining them means joining a company where innovation, integrity, and craftsmanship aren’t just words—they’re the standard.

Why Join Us?

• Direct Mentorship: Work alongside the founder and leadership team in a collaborative, hands-on environment.

• Career Growth: Step beyond wiring into more autonomy, input, and technical challenge.

• Strong Culture: Tight-knit crew with shared values, clear communication, and a commitment to delivering the best.

• Make an Impact: Help shape the future of a company that’s built a stellar reputation and is poised for expansion.

• Diverse Projects: From $2K touch-ups to $100K+ full-home AV systems, no two jobs are the same.

Job Overview

We’re looking for a Senior AV Technician who’s ready to run projects independently and support the day-to-day execution of premium residential AV installations. You’ll act as the point person onsite, working closely with the client and leadership to ensure every system is installed with precision and care.

While programming isn’t a must for this role, confidence in wiring, troubleshooting, and managing retrofit and new build jobs is essential. You’ll also be a go-to mentor for junior techs and help set the tone for excellence in the field.

• Identify and resolve issues proactively; escalate when appropriate

• Support and mentor junior technicians on job sites

• Collaborate with the founder on system improvements and client feedback

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in AV installation or residential systems integration

• Strong understanding of AV fundamentals and low-voltage systems

• Hands-on familiarity with Control4, Ubiquiti, Qolsys, or similar platforms preferred

• Capable of independently troubleshooting networking and connectivity issues

• Excellent communication and customer service skills

• Professional, polished presence in client-facing settings

• Proactive mindset and strong problem-solving skills
