Job Description
Company Overview
We are partnering with a rapidly growing, high-end residential technology integrator based in Southern California. With a reputation for craftsmanship, accountability, and comprehensive in-house services, this integrator is building a future-focused company that balances analog mastery with digital innovation. The owner brings 25+ years of experience in AV and has spent the last seven years growing a firm that’s unapologetically hands-on, purpose-driven, and committed to doing things the right way—from infrastructure to programming.
Why Join Us?
- Be part of a growing company actively investing in its people, showroom, and future
- Work directly with an owner who leads by example and has done every job he asks others to do
- Lead high-end residential projects from start to finish, with autonomy and trust
- Real opportunity to shape your role and grow with the company as it scales
- No bureaucracy—just a clear vision, high standards, and a team that gets things done
- Company vehicles, tools, and resources provided to help you succeed
- Enjoy a supportive environment where craftsmanship is respected and loyalty is rewarded
Job Overview
We are seeking a Lead Technician with strong installation and leadership capabilities who can manage residential AV projects, mentor junior technicians, and serve as a client-facing representative. While programming experience is a bonus, it is not required for this role—physical install mastery and the ability to lead on-site are the top priorities.
Responsibilities
- Lead installation of residential AV, lighting, shading, surveillance, network/Wi-Fi, and automation systems
- Supervise and mentor junior technicians and helpers on job sites
- Coordinate with the owner and project team to ensure efficient scheduling and execution
- Serve as a professional, client-facing representative during installations
- Ensure installs are completed accurately, cleanly, and to the highest standard
- Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues independently
- Collaborate on continuous improvement of field operations
Qualifications
- 5+ years of hands-on AV installation experience, including structured wiring, mounting, terminations, rack building, and basic networking
- Experience leading or mentoring team members in a residential setting
- Familiarity with Lutron, Control4, Savant, or Crestron (proficiency in at least one platform strongly preferred)
- Strong networking skills, including configuration and troubleshooting of wired and wireless networks
- Excellent communication skills and client-facing demeanor
- Strong problem-solving ability and attention to detail
- Capable of working independently and managing small teams
- Valid driver’s license
- Programming experience is a plus but not required
Compensation
- Hourly Rate: $34–$45/hour depending on skill set and certifications
- Overtime opportunities available
Benefits
- Simple IRA with company matching
- Company vehicles provided for eligible employees
- Two mandatory vacation breaks per year (summer & Christmas)
- Paid after 5 years of service
- Both paid after 7 years of service
- Paid holidays and PTO will be introduced as the company grows
