We are looking for a reliable, hands-on person to help our lead installer with day-to-day project work. This is a great role for someone who wants to learn the AV / low-voltage trade and grow with a small company.

Schedule
This is an in-person role. Most work will be at client homes and job sites in the Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia area.
Compensation
Pay depends on experience. We are open to someone newer who is motivated and wants to learn, or someone with basic AV / low-voltage experience who can contribute right away.
We help homeowners, builders, designers, and architects with smart home systems, networking, Wi-Fi, TVs, speakers, lighting control, shades, cameras, and other low-voltage technology. Our goal is to make home technology simple, clean, reliable, and easy to use.
We are a small team, which means everyone has an important role and no one is stuck doing just one thing. Some days are spent organizing materials and projects, some days are spent helping the install team, and other days are spent coordinating schedules, orders, and client follow-up.
We care about doing good work, staying organized, communicating clearly, and doing what we say we are going to do. We are looking for someone reliable, sharp, hands-on, and willing to learn. As we grow, there is room for the right person to take on more responsibility and grow with the company.
