Audio Video Rack Fabricator

We are looking for an experienced AV Rack Fabricator to help us with successful installations of a variety of audio/visual projects.

Responsibilities of a AV Rack Fabricator

• Rack Fabrication: Assemble and wire AV racks according to detailed schematics, signal flow diagrams, and engineering specifications, integrating components like processors, amplifiers, control systems, and network switches for optimal system performance.
• Diagram Interpretation: Accurately read and interpret AV system diagrams, including wiring schematics, rack elevation drawings, and signal flow charts, to ensure precise implementation of design intent.
• Cable Termination and Testing: Terminate, test, and label cables (e.g., CAT6, fiber, HDMI, audio) using industry-standard tools (crimpers, soldering irons, cable testers) to maintain signal integrity and system reliability.
• Equipment Configuration: Configure and integrate rack-mounted AV technologies, including Crestron, AMX, Extron, and Q-SYS systems, ensuring compatibility and adherence to project specifications.
• System Verification: Perform point-to-point testing of rack systems, troubleshooting issues to confirm operational readiness before deployment, using test equipment and diagnostic tools per industry standards.
• Documentation: Maintain accurate digital records of rack builds, including as-built drawings, equipment inventories, and test reports, using platforms like Microsoft Teams for project collaboration.
• Technical Paperwork: Review and complete technical documentation, such as bill of materials (BOM), equipment schedules, and change orders, ensuring accuracy and compliance with project requirements.
• Collaboration: Work closely with AV engineers and project managers to align rack builds with client specifications, providing feedback on diagram discrepancies or design improvements.
• Inventory Management: Track and manage rack-related equipment inventory, ensuring components are organized and secure during fabrication.
• Compliance: Adhere to industry standards (e.g., AVIXA/InfoComm CTS guidelines) and company safety protocols during all rack-building activities.

Qualifications:

• Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in commercial AV rack fabrication, with expertise in assembling, wiring, and testing complex AV systems.
• Technical Skills:
• Proficiency in reading and interpreting AV system diagrams, including wiring schematics, rack elevations, and signal flow charts, to execute precise rack builds.
• Expertise in terminating and testing network, audio, and video cables (e.g., CAT6, fiber, HDMI) using industry-standard tools and techniques.
• Strong knowledge of AV control systems and platforms, including Crestron, AMX, Extron, and Q-SYS.
• Certifications: AVIXA/InfoComm CTS certification strongly preferred; Crestron DMC-E or equivalent certification a plus (or willingness to obtain within 2 years).
• Soft Skills: Detail-oriented, organized, and able to work independently in a fast-paced environment. Strong problem-solving skills for troubleshooting rack-related issues and diagram discrepancies.
• Physical Requirements: Ability to stand, kneel, or crouch for extended periods and lift equipment up to 50 lbs.
• Other: Valid driver’s license with a clean record (minimum 3 years, no suspensions or DUIs).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with network integration for AV systems (e.g., IP-based control systems).
• Familiarity with design software (e.g., AutoCAD, D-Tools) for reviewing AV schematics and documentation.
• Knowledge of signal flow principles or basic programming for AV control systems.
