AV Installation Technician (Field)

About the Role

Osbee is looking for experienced AV technicians, low-voltage technicians, or hands-on trades professionals to strengthen our field team. Backgrounds in carpentry and fabrication, electrical work, network/IT hardware, automotive, or theater and stage are all directly applicable — and can be adapted to your advantage in the AV and residential technology integration industry. No two days look the same, and every project brings something new to learn.

Responsibilities

• Perform rough-in wiring and rack fabrication, and mount TVs, speakers, projectors, keypads, cameras, and motorized shades

• Install and configure audio, video, distributed AV/AV-over-IP, networking, Wi-Fi, lighting control, motorized shades, surveillance, access control, intercom, and HVAC integration
• Configure and troubleshoot IP-connected devices — managed switches, VLANs, DHCP, static IPs, PoE, and wireless infrastructure
• Enter data and configure home control/automation systems during installation and commissioning
• Receive, label, rack, cable, and test equipment at our facility before it ships to the jobsite
• Test, commission, and troubleshoot completed systems, and document quality-control results
• Read architectural plans, wiring diagrams, rack elevations, and system schematics, and flag field conditions that conflict with the design
• Run service calls and diagnose issues on existing installations
• Coordinate daily with programmers, engineers, project managers, and other trades on site
• Maintain accurate as-built notes, wire labeling, and job documentation
• Keep job sites clean and safe while protecting custom millwork, stone, artwork, and finished interiors
• Manage tools, truck stock, and job materials; complete manufacturer and in-house training

• Familiarity with any of: Crestron, Savant, Lutron HomeWorks, Ketra, Ruckus, Netgear, SonicWall, AV-over-IP, motorized shades, surveillance, or access control — you don't need to know every system, just troubleshoot logically and pick up new ones quickly

• A genuine interest in integration technology and new systems
• System programming/configuration experience is a plus, not required
• Professionalism and discretion in clients' homes, with pride in clean, precise workmanship
