We’re seeking a Tech III Lead Technician to lead onsite execution for high-end AV, lighting, and automation systems. You’ll be the onsite point person responsible for installing, commissioning, and leading apprentices on complex residential technology projects. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience and thrives in environments where communication, accountability, and follow-through are just as important as technical skills.

• Ability and willingness to travel 50% to Coeur d'alene, Idaho
• Familiarity with basic networking concepts and willingness to learn more
• Strong leadership, mentorship, and communication skills
• Proactive, solutions-oriented approach—someone who picks up the phone instead of waiting for a text reply
• Willingness to adapt and continuously learn; coachable and accountable
• Must be comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-expectation, luxury environment
• Valid driver’s license and clean driving record required

Responsibilities

• Lead onsite installation and commissioning of AV, automation, and lighting systems
• Collaborate with internal teams (PMs, sales, design, and global engineering) for seamless project delivery
• Serve as a mentor and leader to a dedicated apprentice technician
• Interface with high-end clients and luxury builders to ensure an exceptional experience
• Coordinate with global teams for programming, design, and advanced support
• Understand and implement networking basics (IP addressing, reservations, static IPs)
• Interpret and work from engineered drawings and schematics
• Work hands-on with systems including Crestron Home, Control4, Savant, Lutron, and Vantage
• Ensure quality, consistency, and brand-level execution across all installations

Benefits

• Competitive salary with overtime eligibility
• Full suite of health, dental, and vision insurance
• Company-provided van (commuting permitted depending on location)
• Paid time off and holidays
• Simple IRA with company match
• Temporary employee housing available for relocation transition
• Relocation assistance for the right candidate
• Exciting opportunities for travel (including work on superyachts or projects across the U.S. and Europe)
