About The Position

Leading Smart Home, Networking & Security Projects. Tired of just pulling wire? We need a Lead Technician to run high-end projects, program systems (Control4/Savant), and manage our install team in Friendswood. No more being just a number—come run your own crew. About the Role Jarvis Smart Homes is seeking a Lead AV Technician to join our growing team. This is a hands-on working lead role for someone who excels at the physical side of installation but also possesses the technical skills to program systems and manage a job site. We currently have a dedicated Low-Voltage Helper to assist with pre-wire, retrofitting, and mounting. Your goal is to lead the team in the field, ensure installations meet our high standards, and handle the final system programming and commissioning.

Requirements

Experience: 3+ years in the custom integration industry. You must be comfortable with both rough-in (pre-wire) and trim-out phases.
Programming Skills: Hands-on experience with Control4 (Composer Pro) and/or Savant (Blueprint). Note: We will train the right Lead on specific systems, but you must know the fundamentals of automation programming.
Networking Knowledge: Strong understanding of home networking (static IPs, mesh networks, basic managed switching concepts).
Leadership: Ability to manage a job site and a helper without constant supervision.
Professionalism: You take pride in your work (clean wiring, clean job site) and have excellent communication skills with clients.
Requirements: Valid driver’s license and ability to pass a background check.

Responsibilities

Lead Installations: Work alongside and supervise a helper on residential and commercial projects. This is a hands-on role—you will be crawling attics, mounting TVs, and pulling wire, but you set the pace and quality standard.
System Programming: Handle the configuration and programming of automation systems. You will own the final 20% of the job—making sure everything works before the client sees it.
Network Deployment: Configure robust networks (Ubiquiti, Eero), including IP schemes, VLANs, and WAPs to ensure a solid foundation for our systems.
Site Management: Act as the on-site Project Manager. You will coordinate with the owner, manage the helper’s tasks, and ensure the job is completed efficiently and correctly the first time.
Mentorship: Teach and guide the junior technician to improve their skills and efficiency.
