Who We're Looking For
Reporting to our Installation Manager, Batbox is seeking a Dallas-based Installation Lead (Simulators) to provide on-the-ground leadership and hands-on install support to a team of field technicians installing our state-of-the-art baseball simulators across sports bars, entertainment venues, and partner locations throughout the U.S.A. This is a highly visible, travel-heavy field leadership role. The Installation Lead will be the day-to-day lead on site, helping guide the team through multi-day installations, keeping work moving, supporting morale, and representing Batbox professionally with clients at partner locations.
This role is ideal for someone who has led field-based installation teams in an environment such as AV integration, interactive display technology, entertainment technology, experiential venues, or another hardware-enabled business involving physical installation, troubleshooting, and client handoff. The right person is a hands-on, mechanically inclined field leader who is comfortable using tools, assembling components, and troubleshooting practical installation issues in the field.
Your commitment to our core values of ‘Be a Good Person’, ‘Amp the Experience’, ‘Lead Together’, & ‘Level Up’ and your dedication to our pillars of ‘Craft Legendary Experiences’, ‘Powered by People’, ‘Build for the Future’, & ‘Beyond the Game’ will contribute to a future that's innovative and beyond the ordinary.

-
Represent Batbox professionally as the primary client-facing contact on site, provide simulator training to partners, and lead the final walkthrough to hand over the simulator for client use.
-
Lead, coach, and support field technicians on site by setting the tone for professionalism, teamwork, communication, and client service, while keeping the team focused, calm, and motivated during long installation days and travel-heavy schedules.
-
Conduct routine site checks to help ensure the installation team is following required health and safety standards, address concerns in the moment, ensure required PPE is worn, and escalate risks or incidents to the Installation Manager as needed
-
Lead the installation team through end-of-install activities while actively participating in testing, site cleanup, documentation, and confirming the simulator is ready for client use.
-
Support install readiness between projects at the Batbox air-conditioned warehouse to prepare supply kits, account for tools, prep materials, and ensure items are ready for shipment to the next install
