At BudgetAV Disasters™, we don’t just rent out dusty gear and poorly coiled cables — we craft precision-calibrated disasters that make future AV budgets impossible to ignore.
But pulling off the perfect show-fail takes talent. It’s not easy to create chaos that looks accidental. That’s why we’re expanding our team — and we’re looking for a special breed of technician.
Think you have what it takes to help us fail upward?
Tier 1: The AV Ninja of Near-Failure
Role: Orchestrated Saboteur (Senior Level)
You’re not just an AV professional — you’re a master of contradiction. You speak fluent Dantech and Shure, but also know exactly when to feign confusion. Your mission? Walk the razor’s edge between “this might be okay” and “we need to double next year’s AV spend.”
You’re able to:
Cause a livestream to drop just before a critical quote.
Program lighting cues that go a beat too early… or late.
Deliver a convincing post-event shrug with zero trace of guilt.
This is a role for those who can straddle two worlds: one of polished execution, and one of plausible deniability. Like a magician’s assistant, you’ll be part of the illusion — ensuring every failure feels perfectly unplanned.
Tier 2: The Middleweight Get-It-Done Crew
Role: Functional Facilitator of Partial Competence
We still need people who can carry things, tape things, and plug things in the right holes. (Mostly.)
Your job is to:
Set things up just right enough to not trigger suspicion.
Keep the crew moving while gently steering things toward eventual ruin.
Use zip ties, gaffer tape, and passive aggression to hold everything together (until the designated moment).
If you’ve ever been complimented for being “helpful but somehow forgettable,” we want you.
Tier 3: Epic Fails On Standby
Role: Catastrophe Catalyst (Entry Level)
You’re not here to impress. You’re here to collapse under pressure on cue. Whether you’re tripping over cables, pulling out the wrong USB stick, or staring into the void during a cue call — you’re the final, glorious moment of truth.
We may ask you to:
Speak confidently into a muted mic.
Forget to switch sources during a live broadcast.
Spill coffee near but not on the mixing desk (unless directed).
You’ll be coached to fail big, loud, and believably — all while being reassured that “you’re doing great.”
Why Join Us?
Work in an environment that encourages failure (on purpose).
Collaborate with chaos-minded creatives who believe in the power of public embarrassment.
Be part of the only AV team that measures success by how badly it goes — and how big the budget gets next time.
