If you have a passion for travel, technology, and terminating things, then we have a job for you. Let’s be clear that when we say terminating things, we mean cables; otherwise, you may get the impression we are looking for cyborgs from the future. The role we have in mind is much more fun and rewarding and way less threatening. While there is some element of suspense, it usually involves not getting lost in some of the larger sports arenas we work on.
As an Installation Technician at Alpha Video, you will have the opportunity to travel the country and work on some of the most prestigious audiovisual and broadcast projects in the industry. From sports venues and broadcast facilities to conference rooms and classrooms, our install team gets to hone and show off their technical skills every day. You will integrate the latest digital video and audio solutions that take any projects you may have worked on up a notch. Are you ready to join us in the major leagues?
Alpha Video is looking for new team players that want to make a mark. If you are the type of tech that appreciates that cabling and labeling can be a work of art, solder and crimping is a craft, and watching racks of gear light up for the first time is a sheer joy, then we should talk.
