The Mission
At Springboard Automation, we don’t just "hang TVs." We integrate invisible technology into the world’s most beautiful homes. We are looking for a technician who can't stand a messy rack and who views a perfectly terminated closet as a work of art.

Why Springboard? (The Perks & Benefits)

• Excel Here. Earn More: People who do excellent work should have every opportunity to earn as much as possible.
• No Red Tape: Fast tool approval. If it helps you do the job right, we buy it.
• Travel Right: When we travel, we do it right. Real hotels (no motels), great team dinners, and a $100/night travel bonus on top of your hourly pay.
• The Gear: You’ll get your own set of tools, professional apparel, and an employee purchase program at cost.
• Full Benefits: 401k with match, medical/dental/vision, and PTO + holidays.

What You’ll Do

• Install TVs, speakers, motorized shades, lighting control, and networking equipment
• Build and wire AV racks with precision
• Terminate and label low-voltage wiring cleanly
• Assist with programming and final system commissioning
• Troubleshoot issues on-site and solve problems professionally
• Work inside finished luxury homes where care and attention matter

What You Need

• 2+ years hands-on installation experience in residential AV, low-voltage, electrical, or construction
• Strong wiring, rack-building, and troubleshooting fundamentals
• Experience with Lutron, Sonos, Savant, or residential networking preferred
• Ability to lift 50 lbs and climb ladders
• Valid driver’s license
• Professional presence with clients, builders, and designers

If you are strong technically but missing one platform, we can train the right person.
