Job Description - Lead AV Technician


Company Overview

We are partnering with a growing residential AV integration firm that is redefining quality and professionalism in the custom installation space. This small but mighty team is building a high-performing foundation of talent dedicated to delivering top-tier smart home and audio/video experiences. Known for their commitment to technical excellence, craftsmanship, and transparency, they’re seeking team members who are as passionate about this work as they are.

Why Join Us?

  • Shape the Foundation: Be part of building a top-tier install team from the ground up—your input matters, and you’ll have a real say in how things are done.
  • Entrepreneurial Freedom with Support: Enjoy the autonomy to run your own truck and make decisions, while still having the backing of an engaged and supportive owner.
  • No Micromanagement: Work in an environment where you’re trusted to do your job—this team values initiative, not hand-holding.
  • Collaborative Culture: Leadership encourages input from the field and is actively seeking ideas to improve operations, SOPs, and overall efficiency.
  • Build, Don’t Just Install: Help design and refine systems, not just plug them in—this is an opportunity to contribute to process and product.
  • Tight-Knit Team: Join a team where you won’t get lost in the shuffle—every person plays a vital role, and your impact is visible.
  • Ethical, Human-First Leadership: Expect paid time off for life events, generous holiday breaks, and respect for your personal time—this owner walks the talk on valuing his people.
  • Growth Opportunity: For the right person, there’s potential to grow into management or even a strategic leadership role with future equity options.
  • Work with a Leader Who Gets It: The owner has done it all and knows how hard the job can be—he's hands-on, honest, and committed to doing things differently (and better) than the industry norm.

Job Overview

We’re looking for a seasoned Level 3 AV Technician (or a very strong Level 2 ready to level up) who’s ready to take full ownership of the install process—from rough-in through trim, rack building, networking, and basic programming. You’ll run your own truck, manage your own timelines, and help shape a best-in-class field team alongside leadership that trusts your expertise. This is a role for someone who’s confident, competent, and ready to be a cornerstone of an elite install division.

Responsibilities

  • Execute high-end residential AV system installations: pre-wire, rack assembly, device placement, and final system tuning.
  • Install and configure networks, including access points, managed switches, and routers (primarily Access Networks and Ubiquiti).
  • Troubleshoot complex system issues with minimal guidance.
  • Handle on-site documentation, daily communication, and client interactions professionally and independently.
  • Contribute to SOP development and suggest process improvements.
  • Serve as a technical mentor to junior techs as the team grows.
  • Collaborate closely with leadership and future project managers to deliver excellence on every job.

Qualifications

  • Minimum 3 years of experience in residential AV integration.
  • Deep working knowledge of Control4 (must), Savant (nice to have), and general control system architectures.
  • Strong understanding of system design, audio/video signal flow, and rack layout best practices.
  • Comfort with network setup and configuration; Ruckus/Araknis/Ubiquiti experience is a plus.
  • Ability to read and interpret AV design schematics and blueprints.
  • Exceptional troubleshooting skills—able to think critically and solve problems independently.
  • Strong organizational habits and attention to detail.
  • Must be self-motivated, reliable, and able to perform under pressure.
  • Comfortable working in large custom homes and luxury residential environments.

Ideal Candidate Will Be

  • Confident without ego—able to own their lane while collaborating well.
  • Obsessed with doing things the right way and not cutting corners.
  • Passionate about the craft—someone who’s still learning, still dorking out on AV gear after hours.
  • Able to work independently and doesn’t need hand-holding.
  • Hungry to help shape a company culture and bring new ideas to the table.

Compensation & Structure

  • $33 – $45/hour based on experience and programming ability.
  • 1099 or W-2 available—your choice.
  • Premium paid holidays and generous PTO, including extended time off around major holidays.
  • Discretionary bonuses and Christmas bonus.
  • Holiday office shutdown (paid).
  • Growth path toward lead tech, project management, or operations depending on your goals.

Location & Travel

  • Candidates must be local to Maryland (within 1 hour of Annapolis or the Eastern Shore).
  • Daily job sites are located throughout the DMV region; regular on-site presence is required.
