Who are we hiring?
Sphere Entertainment is seeking a dedicated AV Integration professional to maintain our technical infrastructure, improve documentation, and streamline knowledge-sharing across our network of venues. Reporting to the Sr. Manager Venue Technology, the Manager Venue Technology Integration will assist in the technical planning, and lead the documentation efforts, of internal venue technology projects. This role will work in close partnership with operators, technicians, and department leaders within our Las Vegas venue and interface with stakeholders across the Sphere organization. This role bridges the gap between project execution and integration best practices—delivering detailed design packages, construction plans, and “as-built” documentation that future-proofs our systems and supports scalable deployments.
What will you do?
- Collaborate with internal Operations teams to design and execute new system integrations across Video, Audio, Lighting, SFX, and Automation departments.
- Manage the creation of technical project documentation, including signal flow diagrams, equipment layouts, rack elevations, and cable schedules.
- Conduct evaluations and surveys to verify system layouts and document as-built conditions at Sphere Las Vegas.
- Create standardized update packages and technical documentation suitable for distribution to external stakeholders and franchise partners.
- Maintain up-to-date CAD files and technical drawings in a centralized documentation system.
- Assist in project scoping, BOM development, and vendor coordination when needed.
- Establish and maintain project standards and procedures to guarantee quality and consistency across projects.
- Serve as a bridge between technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring clear communication and alignment of expectations.
- As Sphere’s network of venues grows, this role will support the development and integration of technology systems enterprise wide.
What do you need to succeed?
- 5+ years of experience in AV Integration from within live entertainment, theatrical productions, themed entertainment, AV installation, or a related industry.
- Proficient in AutoCAD (or Vectorworks). Familiarity with Revit, Bluebeam, and Autodesk Construction Cloud a plus.
- Strong technical knowledge of production/entertainment technology systems; understanding of signal flow, control systems, media servers, audio distribution, show control, and networking.
- Experience in producing construction documents, shop drawings, and system documentation from concept to as-built.
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, solutions-oriented mindset. Must be able to communicate technical information clearly and concisely to stakeholders.
- Experience managing project budgets, operating budgets, third-party consultants, and schedules.
- Comfortable working in a deadline driven environment, ability to prioritize and manage multiple concurrent projects effectively.
- Commitment to providing high-quality support for internal teams and external partners.
- CTS-I or CTS-D certification preferred
- Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
Special Requirements
- Available to work occasional nights and weekends, as needed.
- Ability to travel domestically and internationally as required. (~5% initially, more in future years)
- Working conditions may include extensive standing, walking, keyboard usage and general administrative duties.
- Occasional work required in a live entertainment environment, which may include variable light levels, strobing, variable to high noise levels, use of atmospheric effects such as fog and haze, and work around Sphere guests.
