- Strong working knowledge of commercial AV installation and basic system commissioning (control systems, display walls, signal distribution).
- Ability to read and navigate construction drawings, signal flow diagrams, and AV/cabling schematics effortlessly.
Independence & Readiness: Ability to work autonomously and manage project sites from Day 1 without requiring entry-level training.
Travel & Location Flexibility: Ability to travel to regional and client project sites as needed, including potential short-term on-site assignments across government facilities.
