    • Read and interpret electronic schematics and architectural blueprints as well as cable riser diagrams and rack elevations.
    • Use hand and power tools to solder and crimp connectors along with various other AV systems related tasks.
    • Assist with basic mechanical fabrication and basic rack wiring.

    What skills do Audio Visual Technicians have?

While technicians are responsible for working with the equipment, they also have to work with the clients requesting it.
