We're looking for a few good installers, uh actually one... Just wondering if this isn't appropriate to post here, if not, I'll edit this posting...
We are located just south of Seattle... (most of work is in Seattle & Redmond)...
If this isn't the place to troll, techs are there any good online sites??? I looked on Cedia's site but...???? Good pay, bennies, Van all that stuff... Feel free to email me... Thanks!

This is an ok place to post that, depending on what you want the guy to do.

O.K. I just don't wanna get beat up!!!

The company I'm with is growing, and looking for a full meal deal kind of guy... Rough-Ins, Trims Programming...
Vantage Lighting Control, AMX, ELAN...
Actually, he probably wouldn't be required to do much of the Pre-Wire stuff, but should be good at Retros, and problem solving. The company supplies everything...Van Tools, Laptop... and will negotiate a fair $$$ deal.

We just lost a great tech last summer, and with overtime and all, he made over 6 figures. This year though that wouldn't happen as we are in a re-building phase, because when we lost that Tech - his apprentice left also... (to do their own thing... now they are out looking for jobs again)... But the owners know they aren't going to find a good guy for cheap... They are pretty new to the Low-Voltage side if things... they have a Very successful (other business)that contracts big projects for heavy construction and commercial type Fiber & Electrical stuff...
The owners are pretty open to someone who has been around, and has EXPERIENCE...

"are YOU experienced"??? Jimi Hendrix 1968???

He made over six figures????

What the hell am I doing wrong...............

Does that include the .00 after the dollar amount...........

just my 2 cents......<-----if I made 6 figures I'd give my $2

Yeah, he did... He had a pretty fat base salary... Now I'm NOT saying that would still be the case... as he kind of scrooed the pooch...(he would quite often dissappear, no-one knew where he was, no phone contact) so his boss took him off salary, but still paid him a nice hourly rate... I know he really regrets leaving now, but he burned the bridge here...

Well, see now Stan, thats ok to be looking for a tech.....but when you just say your looking for a man,...well we don't want one of our own all clad in leather dancing on a table because he got duped in the internet. Trust me, thats not worth the 50k a year it paid.

There is a guy in the 'Nati who is paying his installers and system designers over 80k per year. Of course, they get the 1-2 million dollar jobs, but still. Amazing though, for they have only been around a few years.

sorry dude the gay porno room is down the hall

If you are installing alot of stuff like Runco, ADA, Meridian, Lighting Control, Crestron or AMX and so on you better be paying your guys close to if not 6figs.

Especially if you see just two guys, owner and installer, doing a 40+ zone homeworks system. Or lugging in 7 DSP8000's. If your making less a year than that speaker cost, you think your really going to give a sh*t about it?

I have been around and installed Meridian, Runco, Lutron, and everything else except AMX and Crestron............Seems I need to update my requests to the powers that be..........

Mr. Stanley:

I have sent you a letter of interest to your email that is supplied in your profile.

Mr. Stanley,

At 66 post per week I guess you must be the owner of the business!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am printing this thread out and putting it on my bosses desk 1st thing tommorow morning.......

We install Runco, MacIntosh, Crestron, Triad, Lutron etc.... We are top 5 dealers in the country for most of those lines. Our avg job total is well into 6 figures and have done a more then a few 7 figure jobs. I am a lead tech with over 5 years experience and second in the company in terms of tech seniority.

My employer is a small company on the verge of breaking out in a huge way. We are constantly booked beyond solid almost 3 months at a time. We are doing our jobs on impossible deadlines with long hours and quite a bit of stress.

Given the cost of living in my area, I am considered part of the working poor. My salary is less then half of what he is offering. Home ownership is out of the question on my pay, heck, I can't even afford to buy a new (used) truck... The drywall guy I worked with on my last job made a couple hundred more a week then I do. If I had kids, I would be living in complete poverty.

I really like the company that I work for, love the people and love the job. Very few people get to say that. Getting to play with shiny, expensive toys all day is a great way to make a living. It goes a long way towards making up for the pay.

But when I see friends, family and guys in other trades buying homes, new cars and other niceties I do second guess myself quite a bit.

Given that the OPs company is used to the heavy commercial construction industry, they are used to paying out like that. Check out what a commercial sparky or an experienced heavy equipment operator makes a year. My brother just started in commercial construction and with 0 experience, he makes almost as much money as I do.
