Lead AV Installation Technician

Amplify People•Redmond, WA

2d•$32 - $42•Onsite

About The Position

We are hiring an experienced AV Installation Technician to execute residential automation, AV, lighting, and shading installations across Washington and, at times, out of state. This is not an entry-level position. The right person can walk onto a job site with a punch list and complete it independently, pulling and terminating wire, cutting in speakers, building and dressing racks, mounting displays, and driving the installation to the point of programming without needing their work checked. Programming experience is a plus but is not required for this role. Beyond the technical skill set, the single most important trait for this position is work ethic. This is a company where technicians get on ladders, into attics, and through crawl spaces — whatever the job requires. The ideal candidate takes visible pride in their work, documents as they go, solves problems independently before escalating, and finishes what they start rather than watching the clock. This role reports to the operations leadership team and works closely with the full field crew.

Requirements

Proven experience as a residential AV/integration technician capable of working independently without oversight.
Hands-on experience with control and lighting platforms — Control4 and Lutron strongly preferred.
Ability to work through a punch list, self-check the work, and complete a job before leaving the site.
Strong documentation habits — comfortable pausing to photograph and note work as it progresses.
Independent problem-solving skills and sound critical thinking in the field.
Willingness to travel up to 50% and flexibility with scheduling.
Valid driver's license and clean driving record.
Own hand tools.

Nice To Haves

Lutron RadioRA 2 or RadioRA 3 certification.
Exposure to additional platforms such as Savant, Josh.ai, Crestron, or similar.
Experience with both Lutron lighting and shading specification and installation.
Prior client-facing experience conducting system handoffs or homeowner walkthroughs.
Interest in growing toward programming or project management responsibilities.

Responsibilities

Independently execute residential AV, automation, lighting, and shading installations from rough-in through trim-out.
Pull, terminate, and test low-voltage cabling to a high standard of neatness and reliability.
Build, dress, and install equipment racks; cut in and install speakers, displays, keypads, and control hardware.
Work through daily punch lists independently and verify completion before leaving a site.
Document work in progress consistently — job site photos, notes, and status updates using the company's documentation platform (CompanyCam).
Troubleshoot installation and system issues in the field, escalating only when genuinely necessary.
Interface professionally with homeowners, builders, and trade partners on site, including basic system handoffs and client questions.
Support and mentor less experienced technicians on the crew as needed.
Maintain tools, vehicle stock, and job site organization.
Travel to out-of-area job sites, up to approximately 50% of the time.
