- Ability to read and interpret AV, IT, network, and control flow diagrams, alongside architectural, mechanical, electrical, and data network drawing sets.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a positive attitude and the ability to work independently or collaboratively with faculty, administrators, contractors, and skilled trades in a diverse university setting.

- Navigate and ascend/descend a 12 ft ladder to install AV equipment in classrooms, auditoria, and departmental spaces. This will involve maneuvering projectors and other equipment (weight of up to 35 lbs) to installation locations on ceilings and walls. Manipulate and install objects overhead such as projectors, projection screens, and television monitors (weighing up to 50 lbs).
- Negotiate and work safely on a construction site.
- Travel between buildings during inclement weather. Move cart-based equipment between buildings.
- Work in enclosed spaces, particularly around installed rack units in enclosed spaces.
- Work for an extended period of time to access AV racks, panels, and equipment at a height of 3 to 7 feet.
Desired Qualifications*
- AVIXA CTS certification (or equivalent) and manufacturer certifications (e.g., Crestron, Dante).
- Demonstrated experience working on AV/IT projects in a university or higher education environment.
- Broad knowledge of digital AV systems and hands-on experience installing and supporting complex classroom technologies.

Who's Hiring
Top Industries Hiring
- Electronics & Hardware
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in AV project manager jobs.
- CTS certification from Avixa or equivalent manufacturer credentials strongly preferred
- Three or more years managing AV system integration or live event production projects
- Experience reading and producing signal flow diagrams, rack layouts, and as-built drawings
- Proficiency with project management tools and scheduling software
- Ability to coordinate subcontractors, vendors, and on-site installation crews simultaneously
- Bachelor's degree in a technical, communications, or project management field or equivalent experience
Tips for Your AV Project Manager Job Search
Tailor your resume for systems versus events
AV project manager roles split between permanent installation work and live event production. Identify which track each job targets and reframe your resume to lead with the most relevant projects, tools, and client types for that specific environment.
List your certifications above your degree
Hiring managers in AV scan for CTS, CTS-D, or CTS-I credentials before looking at education. Place your Avixa certifications, manufacturer training, and any PMP credential in a dedicated section near the top of your resume, not buried at the bottom.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists av project manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Quantify installs by signal count and room count
Generic phrases like 'managed AV projects' do nothing for your application. Hiring managers respond to specifics: how many rooms, how many endpoints, what system platforms, and what the project budget range was. Pull those numbers from your past SOWs.
Prepare a portfolio of as-built drawings and schedules
Many AV project manager interviews include a portfolio review. Bring redacted as-builts, rack elevations, or Gantt charts from past projects. This demonstrates you understand both the technical documentation and the scheduling discipline the role demands.
Negotiate scope clarity before accepting an offer
AV project manager roles vary widely in whether you are also expected to do hands-on installation, programming, or commissioning. Before accepting, confirm in writing which of those responsibilities fall inside your scope so there are no surprises on day one.
AV Project Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most av project managers?
Avidex, AUDIOCOM, and Diversified are hiring the most av project managers right now, with openings concentrated in California, Florida, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Corporate integrators and higher education institutions account for a large share of active postings.
How many av project manager jobs are remote?
About 53% of av project manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most installation and commissioning work. Project coordination, documentation, and client communication tasks are most likely to be performed remotely, while site supervision and system commissioning almost always require an on-site presence.
How do you become an av project manager?
Start by gaining field experience as an AV technician or systems installer so you understand how installations actually come together. Earn your CTS credential through Avixa to demonstrate baseline industry knowledge. Move into a lead or foreman role to build crew coordination experience, then pursue project management responsibilities on smaller installs before taking on full project ownership. A PMP credential strengthens your profile for corporate or enterprise clients.
Can you get hired as an av project manager with little experience?
Some integrators hire candidates with strong general project management backgrounds and pair them with technical mentors, particularly for roles focused on scheduling, vendor coordination, and documentation rather than hands-on commissioning. Getting your CTS certification before applying signals commitment to the industry. Entry-level titles like AV project coordinator or assistant project manager are common stepping stones that build toward full project manager responsibility.
What does the av project manager interview process look like?
Most AV project manager interviews include an initial screening call focused on your certification background and project history, followed by a technical interview where you may be asked to walk through a past project from kickoff to closeout. Some employers request a portfolio review of drawings or schedules. A final round often involves meeting the operations or sales team to assess how you handle client communication and subcontractor coordination under pressure.
Where can I find and apply to av project manager jobs?
You can find and apply to av project manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your experience and target environment, and apply directly to each listing that fits.
