Audio Visual Engineer in Bolton

As one of our client's AV Engineers, you'll play a key role in shaping and supporting their expert installation and service engineering team. Living their 'Customer First' value, you'll ensure every project is delivered to the highest technical standards, with quality, care, and attention at the heart of everything you do.

This is a field-based role, primarily covering Chester, Manchester, and the wider North West, with regular national travel as projects require. To support you, a company van is provided, fully equipped to help you hit the ground running.

You'll work closely with the Engineering Management team, Chief Engineer, and Project Managers, bringing a smart and commercial mindset to every decision — ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and right first time.

This is a field-based role, so you'll need to be comfortable travelling across your designated area but there may also be other UK travel and staying away from home between 14 nights per week, depending on project requirements. In return, you'll enjoy variety, autonomy, and the opportunity to make a real impact on projects that truly matter — with all expenses paid.

Our client believes in being dependable, friendly, and simple — trusting their people to take ownership, make the right calls, and communicate clearly. They will give you the tools, training, and support to thrive, and empower you to truly own the problem, always doing what's right for customers and the business.
