About Us
Century Audio Visual is an AV solutions provider with a diverse team of highly qualified,
service-oriented professionals. Our mission is to deliver fully functional, cost-effective
AV solutions, focusing on simplicity and an effortless user experience. We serve clients
throughout the Greater Toronto Area and beyond.
Position Overview
We are looking for an experienced AV Field Engineer and Service Lead who can take
ownership of both simple and complex service issues, advanced technical tasks,
system configuration and commissioning support. This is a senior technical role
designed to relieve the leadership team from day-to-day technical escalations and
system setup.
This is not an entry level service technician or IT support role.
We require someone who already understands commercial AV systems and can work
independently without supervision.
You will support field technicians, solve technical problems, configure systems before
deployment, assist with commissioning tasks and manage service activities. The ideal
candidate is currently working as a field engineer, senior service technician,
commissioning technician or lead installer.

• Diagnose and repair both simple faults and complex system problems
• Perform firmware updates, device resets, component replacements and detailed
  diagnostics
• Communicate solutions clearly to clients and internal teams
• Maintain accurate notes, logs and service documentation
  Technical Duties
• Install, test and maintain commercial AV systems
• Work with AV devices that rely on networks including PoE powered devices and
  basic VLAN concepts
• Verify compatibility, update firmware and ensure stable system operation
• Read and interpret schematics, floor plans and rack drawings
• Maintain service tools, spare parts and spare equipment inventory.
  Installation and Tooling Tasks
• Perform new terminations and re-terminations of AV and low-voltage wiring
• Use hand tools and termination tools safely and correctly
• Dress, organize and secure cabling for clean and reliable installations

• Verify wiring integrity, continuity and proper polarity during service or
  commissioning
• Support technicians with hands-on field work when required

  engineering
• Strong understanding of audio, video and control signal flow

• Ability to commission systems and configure DSP and control devices
• Strong troubleshooting skills for both simple and complex issues
• Comfortable working at heights using ladders or lifts
• Able to lift 50 pounds when needed
• Valid G-class driver license with a clean abstract (Must be 25 or older for
