  • Providing technical support for onsite teams (e.g. AV Techs/Event Techs, CRES, Clients, etc.)
  • Collaborating with other departments (Networks, Cabling, etc.) to facilitate issue resolution
  • Assisting with installation and commission of AV systems, including displays, audio systems and control interfaces
  • Assisting and maintaining configuration of AV control systems (e.g. Crestron, Extron, Tri caster) and video conferencing platforms (e.g. Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex)

  • Ability to read as-built drawings and apply the understanding to diagnose reported problems
