Are you a tech-savvy problem solver who loves working with both your hands and your mind? We are seeking a Smart Home Systems Integrator to join our growing team. In this role, you will be the face of our company—taking smart home projects from bare studs and wiring blueprints to fully integrated, living ecosystems.
You will be responsible for the physical installation of high-end smart home systems, configuring complex home networks, mounting and programming surveillance and security systems, and providing top-tier training to clients so they can confidently enjoy their new tech.
Key Responsibilities
