AV Install Technician

About You

Are you an AVL nerd who gets a genuine thrill from seeing a job through to completion? Does your brain immediately start running through install details the moment you see design documents? Do you love solving problems on the fly and actually find troubleshooting satisfying rather than stressful?Do you want to do real AVL work, not the same boring install every day, without being away from home for weeks at a time?

If that's you, keep reading.

About the Job

Fresh Tech is an AVL integration company built to serve the local church. We design and install purpose-built audio, video, and lighting systems. We don’t do cookie cutters, no unnecessary complexity, just the exact right solution for each ministry we partner with.

We're offering a full-time Level 1 Installation Technician position to someone who brings real AVL install experience, moves fast, figures things out, and takes ownership of their work. Maybe that experience came from another integrator. Maybe you've been running AVL at a church and you're ready to use those skills to advance the mission of other churches. Either way, if you've done the work, we want to talk.

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, fast learners, and 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.
