Lead AV Installation Technician

5757 Westbourne Ave, Columbus, OH 43213, USA

Job Type

Full-time

About the Role

Technicians will be responsible for transporting, assembling, maintaining, and troubleshooting equipment used in installations. Technicians must be creative and flexible, with strong communication skills and the ability to interact with both co-workers and clients- often educating clients on how to operate their system after it is installed. The technician will function independently on many jobs, and as part of a team on larger installations.

Some common duties of the Installation Technician include:
- Transporting purchased equipment to the job location
- Assessing job parameters on-site prior to beginning
- Troubleshooting if issues arise during the installation
- Tracking any additional components or hardware that was used during the install
- Test to ensure component operability prior to job completion
- Client education on system functionality
- Complete installation documentation
- Maintain a stocked and organized company van
- Assist with installations and demo room/office upgrades and warehouse maintenance as needed

As the business expands, this position has the opportunity to advance into a leadership role as a Project Manager. As more services are offered, there will be a need for Technicians to “specialize” in certain services, such as security equipment installation, motorized shade installation, network configuration, or universal remote programming (URC brand). These Technicians will be the “go-to” personnel for certain services, and will be vital in educating both clients and their co-workers on the aspects of these installations.

This position is perfect for "techy" people who are passionate about advancements in technology, love helping people, and who want to be part of a close-knit and fun work family.
