Location: Philadelphia / NYC (Greater Region) + Travel
Compensation: $28–$42 per hour based on experience + $100 per overnight travel night
Employment Type: This is a full time, hourly, non-exempt role

The Mission
At Springboard Automation, we don’t just "hang TVs." We integrate invisible technology into the world’s most beautiful homes. We are looking for a technician who can't stand a messy rack and who views a perfectly terminated closet as a work of art.

If you’re tired of "trunk-slammer" standards and want to work on projects in Philadelphia, NYC, Miami, and beyond with a team that actually has your back, let’s talk.

Why Springboard? (The Perks & Benefits)

• Excel Here. Earn More : People who do excellent work should have every opportunity to earn as much as possible.
• No Red Tape : Fast tool approval. If it helps you do the job right, we buy it.
• Travel Right : When we travel, we do it right. Real hotels (no motels), great team dinners, and a $100/night travel bonus on top of your hourly pay.
• The Gear : You’ll get your own set of tools, professional apparel, and an employee purchase program at cost.
• Full Benefits : 401k with match, medical/dental/vision, and PTO + holidays.

What You’ll Do

• Install TVs, speakers, motorized shades, lighting control, and networking equipment
• Build and wire AV racks with precision
• Terminate and label low-voltage wiring cleanly
• Assist with programming and final system commissioning
• Troubleshoot issues on-site and solve problems professionally
• Work inside finished luxury homes where care and attention matter

What You Need

• 2+ years hands-on installation experience in residential AV, low-voltage, electrical, or construction
• Strong wiring, rack-building, and troubleshooting fundamentals
• Experience with Lutron, Sonos, Savant, or residential networking preferred
• Ability to lift 50 lbs and climb ladders
• Valid driver’s license
• Professional presence with clients, builders, and designers

If you are strong technically but missing one platform, we can train the right person.

Travel Expectation
Travel is an essential function of this role because our projects take us where our clients go.

• Primary Hubs : Projects in Philadelphia and NYC are common.
• The Road : Overnight stays are required.
• The Destinations : Longer-distance travel may occur, including destinations such as Florida.
• Fully Covered : All business travel beyond a normal commute is fully covered.
• The Perks : You will receive a $100 per night overnight bonus when applicable, stay in real hotels, and enjoy team dinners on the company.
