Savvy Admin PROD

**About FinePoint **

FinePoint Technology is a building intelligence engineering firm serving architects, owners, and contractors. We don’t install — we design, consult, and ensure building technology works as intended. **No Parts. Just Smarts. **From strategic planning through construction administration and ongoing support, we provide unbiased expertise on audiovisual, telecommunications, security, and building technology systems in corporate, healthcare, education, and government environments.

We’re looking for someone who’s been designing technology systems — whether AV, telecom, or security — and wants to bring that expertise to the consulting side of the table. If you’ve ever thought, “I wish the design consultant had actually understood how these systems work,” this is your chance to be that consultant.

**Position Overview **

We are seeking an experienced Technology Design Engineer to join our Design & Engineering department. This role focuses on creating comprehensive technology system designs for commercial environments — with emphasis on **audiovisual systems, low-voltage infrastructure, and/or electronic safety & security (ESS) ** design. You’ll produce construction-ready documentation — drawings, specifications, and coordination sets — that architects, contractors, and owners depend on to build technology into their facilities.

This is a consulting and design role. You’ll be the technology engineer of record across diverse project types, applying your systems knowledge to create designs that are coordinated, code-compliant, and constructable.

**Key Responsibilities **

**Design & Engineering **

- Create comprehensive technology system designs including AV, structured cabling, telecommunications, and/or security system packages through all AEC project phases (SD, DD, CD, CA)

- Prepare detailed technical drawings using AutoCAD and Revit, with Bluebeam for markup, review, and coordination

- Develop system specifications, equipment schedules, cable schedules, riser diagrams, and installation details

- Ensure designs comply with applicable industry standards (TIA/EIA, BICSI, NFPA, NEC) and local building codes

- Develop project budgets and provide cost estimation support for technology systems

**Project Coordination **

- Review architectural, mechanical, and electrical plans to coordinate technology system routing, space requirements, and infrastructure needs

- Perform site surveys to assess existing conditions and develop technology requirements with clients

- Coordinate with architects, engineers, contractors, and vendors throughout the project lifecycle

- Participate in design team meetings, construction administration, and project closeout activities

**Technical Consulting **

- Serve as a subject matter expert in one or more technology disciplines: audiovisual, telecommunications/structured cabling, or electronic safety & security

- Research and evaluate emerging technologies to inform client recommendations and design standards

- Provide technology planning input during programming and schematic design phases

- Support quality assurance and quality control procedures for all technology design deliverables

- Maintain current knowledge of industry standards, codes, and product developments

**Client & Team Collaboration **

- Work collaboratively within multidisciplinary project teams alongside designers, engineers, and project managers

- Communicate effectively with clients, design team members, vendors, and contractors regarding design intent and technical requirements

- Contribute to internal knowledge sharing, design standards development, and template improvement

**Required Qualifications **

**Education & Experience **

- 3–7 years of experience in technology system design — at a consulting firm, systems integrator, manufacturer, or engineering firm

- Demonstrated experience producing construction-level documentation for AV, telecom/structured cabling, or security systems in commercial environments

- Associate or bachelor’s degree in Engineering Technology, Electronics, IT, or a related field preferred — equivalent experience with a strong portfolio will be considered

**Technical Skills **

- Proficiency in AutoCAD for technology design and documentation (required)

- Working proficiency in Revit/BIM for 3D coordination and modeling (required)

- Proficiency in Bluebeam Revu for document review, markup, and coordination (required)

- Strong knowledge in at least one core discipline: audiovisual system design (signal flow, audio/video distribution, control systems, DSP); OR telecommunications infrastructure (pathway design, network topology, MDF/IDF layouts, structured cabling); OR electronic safety & security (access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection)

- Understanding of IP networking fundamentals and how building technology systems operate on enterprise networks

- Familiarity with building codes, AEC construction processes, and construction document standards

- Proficiency in Microsoft 365 suite

**Professional Skills **

- Strong written and verbal communication — you will write specifications and present to design teams and clients

- Organizational skills to manage multiple concurrent projects with competing deadlines

- Self-motivated with a professional, consultative approach to client interactions

- Comfort working in the AEC ecosystem: design meetings, site walks, construction environments

- Collaborative mindset and willingness to contribute across disciplines as project needs require

**Industry Knowledge **

- Understanding of AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) project delivery methods

- Experience coordinating with system integrators, contractors, and technology vendors

- Knowledge of commercial construction processes and documentation requirements

**Certifications & Licenses **

- **Required: **Valid driver’s license

- **Preferred: **CTS-D (Certified Technology Specialist – Design), RCDD (Registered Communications Distribution Designer), or PSP/CPP (ASIS security certifications)

- **Required: **Willingness to obtain or maintain a relevant industry certification (CTS-D or RCDD) within 18 months of hire — FinePoint will support your certification path

**Job Requirements **

- Travel up to 20% (+/-) for site surveys, client meetings, and project coordination, and conferences

- Flexibility to work occasional non-traditional hours to meet project deadlines

- Ability to work in active construction environments and perform field verification

**Performance Metrics **

Success in this role will be measured by:

- Quality and accuracy of technology system design deliverables

- Project delivery timeliness and adherence to budget parameters

- Client satisfaction with technical solutions and communication

- Professional development progress and certification achievements

- Effective collaboration with project teams and Design & Engineering leadership

**Compensation & Benefits **

- Competitive salary

- Comprehensive benefits package (health, dental, vision)

- Professional development support including certification exam fees and continuing education

- 401(k) with company matching

- Flexible work arrangements and technology resources
