Senior AV Installer / Commissioning Engineer
Luxury Smart Homes | London & Home Counties
Tired of installing the same basic systems on repeat? What if every project you worked on was a statement home? Private cinemas. Whole-home automation. Multi-room audio systems. Intelligent lighting and shading. Properties worth millions.
We're looking for a Senior AV Engineer who takes pride in delivering exceptional work and wants to be involved in some of the most impressive residential smart home projects in the UK. If you're the engineer everyone turns to when a system needs commissioning, fault-finding, or getting over the finish line, keep reading.
This Isn't Just Another AV Installation Role
You'll be trusted to lead the technical delivery of high-end residential projects from rack build through to final handover. You'll have the autonomy to make decisions on site, work with leading technologies, and play a key role in ensuring installations are completed to the highest possible standard. No micromanagement. No cutting corners. No rushed installations that leave you firefighting months later. Just quality projects, quality equipment, and a team that genuinely values good engineering.
