About The Position

We are looking for an AV Sales Engineer to develop new business and manage client relationships across a full range of technology solutions, from shading and lighting control to audio, video, networking, security, and automation systems. This role blends elements of an outside hunter, actively pursuing new business in the field, with a farmer, nurturing walk-in and repeat clients from the showroom. You will design your own system packages, put together client-facing proposals, and present them directly, working independently rather than handing designs off to a separate design team. The ideal candidate has some experience in a related sales environment, whether that is AV, low-voltage, home technology, window treatments, or another adjacent retail or technology field, but places just as much value on hunger, adaptability, and the willingness to learn. You will work on a small, close-knit team where your contributions are visible and valued every day.

Requirements

Experience in outside or inside sales, ideally within AV, low-voltage, home technology, or a closely adjacent field
Demonstrated ability to build client relationships and close sales independently
Comfortable representing a full range of technology solutions rather than one specialty
Strong communication and presentation skills
Self-starter with the initiative to design proposals and manage the sales process end to end

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with control and automation platforms such as Crestron or Lutron
Experience selling technical or consultative products where the client needs guidance through the decision

Responsibilities

Develop new business through proactive outreach, networking, and field sales calls
Engage walk-in and phone clients in the showroom and convert inquiries into sales
Design custom system proposals covering audio, video, lighting, shading, networking, security, and automation
Present proposals and pricing directly to clients and guide them through the buying decision
Build and maintain long-term client relationships that generate repeat and referral business
Represent the full breadth of the company's offerings rather than specializing in a single product category
Coordinate with the install team to ensure a smooth handoff from sale to project execution
Stay current on new technology platforms through ongoing manufacturer training
