Lead AV Technician

Company Overview

We are partnering with a premier residential technology integration firm that has built its reputation on a true “customer-first” philosophy. This company prioritizes long-term client relationships, exceptional craftsmanship, and doing what’s right for the customer over simply maximizing profit. Their team is made up of professionals who genuinely care about one another, collaborate openly, and take pride in delivering high-performance smart home experiences the right way.

From lighting control and shading systems to whole-home automation and AV integration, this company is known for delivering thoughtful solutions while maintaining a strong culture rooted in teamwork, humility, and integrity.

Why Join Us?A Team-First Culture

This is an environment where teammates genuinely support one another. Leadership invests in training, development, and making sure employees have the tools they need to succeed. Ego-driven personalities don’t thrive here—collaboration does.

True Work-Life Balance

The field team works a 4x10 schedule, giving employees a consistent three-day weekend every week. Overtime is the exception, not the expectation, because leadership understands that life outside of work matters.

Growth & Stability

This is a growing integration company with long-term vision and strong leadership. As the business expands, there will be opportunities for advancement into higher-level technical or leadership roles for those who want to grow their careers.

Training & Team Engagement

The company hosts monthly “TNT” (Training & Togetherness) days that combine hands-on training with team-building events and outings. The culture encourages mentorship, continuous learning, and knowledge sharing across the organization.
