Position Overview

Position Overview :

  • We are seeking an experienced AV Field Engineer who will play a key role in the field-based installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting of AV systems. You’ll be responsible for overseeing portions of lifecycle of AV system installations, from design redlines to post-installation support. The ideal candidate is highly technical, detail-oriented, and has excellent communication skills for working directly with clients and internal teams.
  • This role requires a hands-on approach, as you’ll be configuring complex AV systems, balancing audio systems, and ensuring that systems function as intended. You will also be training clients on system usage and providing them with support as needed. With up to 75% travel required, you will have the opportunity to work in a variety of locations and projects.

Key Responsibilities

  • Configuration & Optimization : Configure and fine-tune AV equipment on-site to ensure optimal performance, including balancing audio systems and adjusting video settings. Manage the configuration of control systems like Crestron or Extron, ensuring seamless integration and user-friendly operation.
  • Troubleshooting & Problem-Solving : Utilize advanced troubleshooting tools to diagnose and resolve issues with AV systems, addressing both hardware and software concerns. Serve as the go-to expert for resolving technical issues during installation or after the system is live.
  • System Design Redlines : Review and make necessary changes to system designs in the field, including redlining designs and adjusting configurations to meet project requirements and operate at peak performance.
  • Client Training & Support : Provide on-site training to clients, ensuring they are confident in operating the AV systems independently. Act as a technical resource, providing ongoing support and troubleshooting guidance, both in person and remotely as part of Level 2 helpdesk support.
  • Documentation & Reporting : Maintain detailed documentation for each installation, including system configurations, IP addresses, wiring diagrams, and other technical specifications for final client reports and future maintenance.
  • Collaboration with Engineering Teams : Work closely with engineers, designers, and programmers to ensure seamless project execution and accurate implementation of design changes and system requirements.
  • Qualifications and Experience

  • Education : High school diploma or equivalent required. College degree in a related field (e.g., Electronics, AV Systems, IT) is a plus.
  • Experience : At least 3 years of hands-on experience in the installation, troubleshooting, and commissioning of audio-visual equipment in a field environment. Experience with AV systems (audio, video, control) is required.
  • Certifications :
  • CTS (Certified Technology Specialist) required within 6 months of hire
  • CTS-I (Certified Technology Specialist – Installation) is highly recommended
  • Additional certifications in Crestron, Biamp, Extron, or other industry technologies are a plus
  • Skills & Abilities :
  • In-depth knowledge of AV installation techniques, equipment configuration, and troubleshooting
  • Strong understanding of AV system design and requirements
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills to work with clients, contractors, and internal teams
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) for documentation and reporting
  • Ability to use advanced troubleshooting tools and software for resolving system errors
  • Technical Knowledge :
  • Experience with AV equipment, including sound systems, projectors, video conferencing systems, and control systems (Crestron, Extron, Biamp, etc.)
  • Strong understanding of networking basics for AV systems (IP addresses, device configuration, etc.)
  • Working Conditions & Physical Demands

  • Ability to lift and move equipment up to 50 lbs
  • Comfortable working at heights and climbing ladders to access equipment or set up systems
  • Ability to work in varying physical environments, including confined spaces or noisy environments
  • Must be able to travel up to 75% of the time for on-site installations, client meetings, and support
  • Ability to work independently and manage time efficiently while handling multiple projects simultaneously
  • Ability to adapt to changing site conditions and ensure timely and successful project completions
  • Why Work With Us?

  • At Wachter, we understand that our success is driven by the talented people we hire. As an AV Field Engineer with us, you will :
  • Collaborate with a team of experts : Work alongside top-tier engineers, designers, and project managers to execute large-scale, high-profile AV projects

  • Variety in your work : Each project offers a new challenge, from corporate offices to government buildings and educational institutions
  • Competitive pay and benefits : We offer a comprehensive compensation package including health insurance, paid time off, and retirement benefits
