Company Overview

We are partnering with a leading AV systems integrator that has experienced significant growth over the past few years, expanding nationally with a strong reputation for technical excellence and customer dedication. With a leadership team that values collaboration, authenticity, and personal connection, this company fosters a culture where employees feel supported, challenged, and genuinely excited to contribute.

Despite their growth, they’ve maintained the intimate, tight-knit culture of a smaller business—where everyone has a voice, and relationships matter. With headquarters in the Pacific Northwest, they deliver enterprise-level integration work across the country, and they’re now investing in growing their internal design and engineering infrastructure.

• Impactful Work: Your standards and workflows will shape the future of the company’s drafting process.
• Strong Culture: People-first culture built on transparency, respect, and connection. Teams genuinely enjoy working together—in person and remotely.
• Growth Opportunity: While management responsibilities are limited for now, there’s room to grow into a stronger leadership role as the team scales.
