Position Summary

The Lead AV Technician is responsible for executing permanent AV installations on time, on spec, and to the standard SCS clients expect. You will lead on-site crews, manage materials, coordinate with Project Managers, and deliver clear field reporting on every job. This role requires someone who can work with their hands and lead a team - the bigger the crew, the more you’re running it.

What You’ll Own

•      Install, terminate, and commission permanent AV systems: speakers, cameras, displays, projector screens, LED video walls, conference room solutions, fitness center audio/video, and everything in between

•      Lead on-site crews of up to 5 technicians: delegate tasks, set the pace, hold the standard

•      Manage on-site materials: receive, inventory, track, and report on equipment and supplies throughout the job

•      Provide detailed daily field reports: progress, issues, crew performance, and material status

•      Coordinate directly with the on-site Project Manager and report back to the SCS home office when working remotely

•      Identify scope discrepancies, site conditions, or installation challenges early and communicate them clearly

•      Represent SCS professionally on every job site, with every client, every day

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

•      5+ years of hands-on AV installation experience in commercial environments

•      Proven ability to lead a crew on-site - you’ve been the person other techs look to

•      Strong working knowledge of low-voltage wiring, AV rack builds, display and speaker mounting, camera installation, and signal flow

•      Clear communicator - written field reports matter here as much as your technical skills

•      Comfortable traveling up to 2–3 weeks at a time with a valid driver’s license and clean driving record

•      High School Diploma or equivalent required — we hire based on what you can do
