Join the Tri-State AV Team

Low Voltage / AV Installation Technician

Tri-State AV & Information Technologies is growing, and we’re looking for the right person to grow with us.

We design, install, service, and support professional technology systems throughout the Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and surrounding Tri-State area. Our projects range from commercial AV and structured cabling to surveillance, networking, access control, digital signage, and large-format LED video walls.

This is not a desk job and it isn't a position where every day looks the same.

One day you may be installing cameras and pulling Cat6 cable. The next you could be hanging displays, installing speakers, terminating a network rack, working on an access-control system, or helping install a large LED video wall.

We're looking for someone who enjoys working with their hands, solving problems, learning technology, and taking pride in leaving behind clean, professional work.

What You'll Be Doing

Typical responsibilities include:

  • Pulling, routing, labeling, and terminating Cat5e/Cat6 cabling

  • Installing and terminating network equipment

  • Installing surveillance cameras and NVR systems

  • Mounting TVs, displays, projectors, speakers, and other AV equipment

  • Installing access-control devices, card readers, electric strikes, and related equipment

  • Assisting with commercial audio systems

  • Installing racks, patch panels, cable management, and equipment

  • Assisting with LED video wall installations

  • Troubleshooting cabling, network, AV, surveillance, and control-system issues

  • Working from ladders and lifts when required

  • Keeping job sites, company vehicles, tools, and work areas organized

  • Communicating professionally with customers and other trades on site

Who We're Looking For

Previous low-voltage, AV, networking, security, electrical, or similar trade experience is strongly preferred, but we're willing to consider someone with strong mechanical ability and the right attitude who is eager to learn.

The right person:

  • Shows up on time and can be counted on

  • Takes pride in clean, professional workmanship

  • Is comfortable using hand and power tools

  • Can work independently once trained

  • Can troubleshoot instead of immediately giving up when something doesn't work

  • Pays attention to details

  • Is comfortable working on ladders and lifts

  • Can safely lift and move equipment

  • Is comfortable working in ceilings, mechanical spaces, and active construction environments

  • Communicates professionally with customers

  • Can take direction without needing constant supervision

  • Wants to learn new technology and develop valuable technical skills

Experience We'd Love to See

Experience with any of the following is a plus:

  • Structured cabling

  • Cat5e/Cat6 termination

  • Network racks and patch panels

  • UniFi networking or surveillance equipment

  • Commercial surveillance systems

  • Access control

  • Commercial AV

  • Audio systems

  • TV and display installation

  • Fiber

  • LED video walls

  • Construction or electrical work

  • Troubleshooting with a multimeter or cable tester

You don't need to know everything on this list.

We're much more interested in someone who has a solid technical foundation, learns quickly, works hard, and cares about doing things correctly.

What We Expect

We're a growing company, which means everyone has to pull their weight.

Reliability matters.

Quality matters.

How you represent the company in front of our customers matters.

We're looking for someone who wants to become an important part of the company, not someone simply looking for somewhere to clock in.

There will occasionally be early mornings, long installation days, travel to job sites throughout the region, and projects that require flexibility to get the job finished.

In return, you'll have the opportunity to work on technology and projects that are considerably more interesting than doing the exact same installation every day.

Compensation

Competitive hourly compensation based on experience and demonstrated ability.

We'd rather pay more for someone who can produce high-quality work, solve problems, and operate independently than hire solely based on the lowest hourly rate.

Specific compensation will be discussed during the interview process based on experience.

Benefits & Perks

  • Paid time off

  • Paid holidays

  • Company-provided tools and equipment as applicable

  • Training on new systems and technologies

  • Opportunity for increased responsibility and compensation as the company grows

  • Variety of commercial projects and technologies

  • Opportunity to develop skills across AV, networking, surveillance, access control, and LED display systems

Please note: Tri-State AV does not currently offer employer-sponsored health insurance.

Requirements

Applicants must:

  • Have a valid driver's license and reliable transportation

  • Be able to safely perform physical installation work

  • Be comfortable working from ladders and lifts

  • Be willing to travel to job sites throughout the Greater Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky / Tri-State region

  • Be able to communicate professionally with customers and coworkers

  • Be legally authorized to work in the United States

Think You'd Be a Good Fit?

Fill out the application below.

We intentionally ask a few more questions than a typical job application. We're a small, growing company, and finding the right person matters to us.

You don't need the perfect résumé.

We'd rather hear what you actually know how to do, what you've worked on, and why you think you'd be a strong addition to the team.
