AV Lead Installer/Programmer

Job Overview

We’re seeking a Lead Installer / Programmer who can lead by example on the job site, guiding a younger team, ensuring top-quality installations, and handling light-to-moderate programming responsibilities. This person will serve as the “right hand” to the Director of Operations, freeing him up to focus on higher-level business needs. The ideal candidate is someone with solid technical chops, clean and professional presentation, and a collaborative spirit—someone who is just as comfortable helping wire a rack as they are supporting teammates or talking with high-end clientele.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor a team of installers on job sites, ensuring work is completed to company standards.
• Act as a hands-on installer while taking ownership of job quality, accountability, and client communication.
• Perform Lutron lighting control programming and minor programming across platforms such as Control4 and URC.
• Collaborate with the Director of Operations to support change orders, scheduling, and field-related project needs.
• Uphold the company’s white-glove service standards with professional presentation and attention to detail.
• Assist with equipment staging and verify completed work through testing and quality checks.
• Represent the company with professionalism and confidence in front of homeowners and project partners.

Qualifications

• 5–7+ years of experience in residential AV and home integration, including installation and programming.
• Strong experience with Lutron control systems is required.
• Familiarity with Araknis networking, Bang & Olufsen, Control4, URC, and other AV/control platforms is a plus.
• A natural leader who leads through action and mentorship—not ego.
• Detail-oriented and proactive
• Comfortable in high-end homes with a polished, professional demeanor.
• Ability to manage job site accountability and uphold team standards.
• A true team player who embodies the “VP and janitor” mindset.

Compensation

$30–$45/hour, depending on experience and capabilities (installer vs. installer/programmer blend).

Benefits

• PTO and paid company holidays
• Health, Dental & Vision Insurance
• Company-provided equipment
• Simplified IRA
• Supportive team culture with opportunities for growth
