Team managers and supervisors will coordinate your work schedule, daily responsibilities, and special project assignments. 

Responsibilities

An intern position in A/V Conference Services at Ridgecrest is an opportunity to learn skills in many different areas such as operating state of the art audio and lighting equipment for the seven auditoriums on our campus. It also includes the setup and maintaining of classroom space for guests. The hours of work will vary due to the nature of our business. There will be days of long hours and long weekends but there will, of course, be lots of fun. You will need to be able to walk for long periods of time (we average 12,000 steps/day) and be able to lift 50lbs (we move a lot of tables and chairs). You will need to be a problem solver and enjoy high-pressure situations. You will need to have a good sense of humor and be ready for a fulfilling nine months with a great team.
