If you're the engineer everyone turns to when an installation gets complicated, a system won't commission, or a project needs bringing back on track, this could be the role you've been looking for. We're seeking an experienced AV professional who takes pride in delivering exceptional installations, mentoring others, and representing a business professionally on-site. This isn't a role for someone who wants to be told what to do every day. It's for someone who wants ownership.

- Lead installation teams on customer sites across the UK
- Deliver structured cabling, rack builds, equipment installation and system integration
- Test, fault-find and commission AV systems

- Act as the key point of contact for clients, contractors and site teams
- Maintain accurate installation records and quality documentation
- Conduct site quality checks and ensure compliance with company and industry standards
- Support, coach and develop junior engineers and apprentices
- Contribute to service, maintenance and remedial works when required
What Makes Someone Successful in This Role?
You are technically strong, calm under pressure and confident making decisions on-site. You understand that great AV installations aren't just about technical ability - they're about communication, leadership and attention to detail. You'll likely have:
- Significant experience installing commercial AV systems
- Strong understanding of AV signal flow and integration
- Excellent troubleshooting and fault-finding skills
- Experience leading engineers on-site
- A full UK driving licence
- SSSTS certification
Bonus Points If You Have
- CTS or CTS-I certification
- Experience delivering large, multi-room or high-profile AV projects
- Electrical, electronic or network engineering training
What's In It For You?

- £35,000 to £45,000 per annum
- Company pension
- Company vehicle (where required)
- Ongoing manufacturer and industry training
- Professional certification support
- Opportunities to progress into senior technical and project leadership roles
