Level 1 AVL Installation Technician

Fresh Tech Integrated • Pittsburgh, PA

2d • Hybrid

About The Position

Fresh Tech is a rapidly growing, innovative AVL integration company that exists to accelerate every church's unique mission. We design like insiders because we are insiders, building purpose-built audio, video, and lighting systems for churches across the Northeast US and beyond that grow with each ministry instead of holding it back. We're looking for a full-time Level 1 Installation Technician who brings real AVL install experience, moves fast, figures things out, and owns their work. You'll work alongside our Level 2 Technicians and Site Leads, executing installs with skill, judgment, and pace, and you'll help train the Entry Level Techs and Apprentices coming up behind you. This role is a launchpad, not a ceiling. We have a defined growth path to Level 2 Technician and Site Lead, and we'll support you in pursuing your AVIXA CTS certification along the way. We are not a hand-holding or micromanaging operation. If you see a better way to do something, we want to hear it. We implement good ideas quickly, which means we need people who are flexible, learn fast, and are comfortable with things moving at pace. We work hard and we have a lot of fun doing it. Most of our work is local to western PA. Some travel is required, but we're not sending you away from your family for weeks at a time.
