This is an hourly, non-exempt role.

Program, commission, and fine-tune integrated smart home systems in high-end private residences. Lighting. Shading. AV. Networking. Control.

This is for technicians who can see the whole system, not just pull wire.

  • Build racks, terminate wiring, and deliver clean, serviceable installs

  • Strong understanding of networking fundamentals
  • Ability to think holistically across lighting, AV, and control platforms
  • Clean wiring and rack-building skills
  • Ability to lift 50 lbs and climb ladders
  • Valid driver’s license
If you are strong in Lutron but growing in AV control, or vice versa, we will invest in you.
