Someone will say, It worked yesterday
Thats w you come in.
Whats in it for you?
Competitive salary (you wont have to guess if rent gets paid) Medical, dental, life insurance PTO + paid holidays (yes, you get a break) Travel per diem (because airport food is expensive) 401K with matching Profit sharing Paid training + industry certifications Real opportunities to move up (not just someday) What youll actually do:
Show up to job sites and make sure AV systems actually work Test and commission sound systems, video setups, and control systems Troubleshoot issues when things inevitably go sideways Label things so future humans dont panic Configure IP devices (yes, networking matters ) Fine-tune systems until they go from meh to wow Work directly with clients and help them understand what they just paid for Travel?
Yes.

Youll probably do well if you:
Know your way around AV systems and troubleshooting Understand control systems and DSP (or at least dont run from it) Can handle basic networking (IP addresses, routers, switches) Stay calm when technology decides to be dramatic Dont mind being the smartest person in the room quietly

This might be your kind of chaos.
if youre ready to fix things people didnt know could break.
