Who We Are

PEAKE is a dynamic small business committed to excellence, innovation, and integrity. We lead with a team-first mindset, grounded in accountability, service, and doing the right thing — always. We value fresh perspectives, continuous learning, and individuals who take ownership of their work while supporting those around them. Collaboration isn’t just encouraged here, it’s expected. We believe strong relationships, disciplined execution, and a commitment to improvement are what set us apart. We are looking for a skilled, self-motivated AV Network Installation Technician to join our growing team supporting critical government infrastructure at Fort Gordon, GA.

Position Overview

This role supports the physical and field-side buildout of network and audiovisual infrastructure on a government installation.

The technician validates installation quality throughout, ensuring all connections and systems perform to mission standard. This is a field-facing installation position, not a backend administration or software configuration role.
