The pro-AV baseline credential, and the last line on the index — the lowest-paid entry in the Top 100. It marks the boundary where certified technical work shades into the broader trades.
AV technicians and support staff who operate and maintain AV estates — corporate meeting rooms, education, venues. They sit with integrators and in-house facilities teams.
