Deliver clean, reliable systems - independently and professionally.
The Senior Pro A/V Systems Technician is a hands-on installation role responsible for executing professional permanent A/V system builds with precision and care. You will install, test, and troubleshoot systems independently or as part of a team, following approved drawings, scope, and direction from the Project Manager or Install / Tech Lead.
This role is for a technician who takes pride in craftsmanship, understands system signal flow, and can be trusted to execute work correctly without constant supervision.
- You are not a people lead.
- You are not a project manager.
- You are a skilled, independent contributor.
What You’ll Own
- Install and test permanent Pro-AV installations from rough-in through trim, test, and commissioning
- Video projection and commercial display systems
- Sound reinforcement and conferencing systems
- Control systems, DSP, and networked AV
- Lighting and specialty systems where applicable
- Interpret drawings, wiring schematics, and floor plans
- Mount, terminate, label, and dress equipment and cabling to company standards
- Configure and test basic DSP, control, and matrix systems
- Troubleshoot technical issues independently or escalate appropriately
- Coordinate day-to-day tasks with Project Managers, Tech Leads, and other technicians
- Coordinate installs alongside GCs, ECs, and other trades in active construction or renovation environments
- Document work performed and participate in system-level testing
- Support client and end-user training when requested
- Maintain a clean, safe, and professional job site
Technology Ecosystem Experience
Experience with some or all of the following is expected; depth across multiple areas matters more than familiarity with every platform.
Audio & DSP
- Networked and analog audio systems
- DSP platforms such as Q-SYS, Biamp, Symetrix, Harman
- Wireless and wired microphone systems (Shure, Sennheiser)
- Loudspeakers, amplifiers, and signal distribution
Video & Display Systems
- Commercial displays and projectors
- Video switching, routing, and distribution
- Signal transport technologies (HDMI, HDBaseT, SDI)
Control & Integration
- Control systems such as Crestron, Extron, Q-SYS
- Touchpanels, control processors, and device integration
- Understanding of system control flow and troubleshooting
AV Networking
- Dante and networked AV fundamentals
- Basic IP networking concepts (switching, VLAN awareness, addressing)
- Integration of AV systems on shared or dedicated networks
Infrastructure & Build Standards
- Equipment racks, power sequencing, and grounding
- Cable termination, labeling, dressing, and documentation
- End-to-end testing and validation of complete signal paths
This role requires hands-on experience installing and integrating complete AV systems; platform-only or ticket-based support experience is not sufficient.
Requirements
- 4–6+ years of experience in Pro A/V installation or service
- Strong understanding of signal flow and system wiring
- Familiarity with low-voltage standards (Cat6, audio, video, control)
- Comfortable using hand tools, power tools, lifts, ladders, and test equipment
- Valid driver’s license and ability to lift 50 lbs and work at height
- Must be able to obtain and maintain a valid MA DOT Medical Certificate (DOT Physical)
