Job Description

Audio Visual Senior Installation Engineer - Southeast London

Location: Southeast London

Salary: £35,000 to £45,000 per annum

Our client is seeking an experienced Audio-Visual Engineer to join their growing team. This is a hands-on role involving site work, 1st and 2nd fix installation, commissioning, user training, and some pre-configuration at the office.

Most clients are corporate, primarily London-based, with a smaller number of residential projects and clients spread across the UK. While most work will be in London, the role will require occasional travel across England.

This position is ideal for an engineer with a strong all-round skillset, a proactive attitude, and the ability to adapt quickly to new systems and technologies.

Key Responsibilities

1. Install and commission a wide range of AV systems including wall/ceiling-mounted displays, projectors, cameras, and speakers
2. Carry out 1st and 2nd fix cabling and terminations
3. Perform pre-configuration and rack build work at the office
4. Deliver user training on newly installed systems
5. Conduct post-installation maintenance and servicing (both remotely and on-site), including firmware updates
6. Support clients by responding to helpdesk tickets and technical support issues
7. Attend manufacturer training courses and industry trade exhibitions to stay up to date with the latest technologies

Essential Skills & Experience

• Proven background in corporate Audio-Visual installations
• Proficient in wall/ceiling mounting of displays, cameras, and speakers
• Strong 1st fix cabling experience
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• A solid understanding of AV systems, including networking fundamentals
• Must not be a junior-level engineer - this role requires real-world, practical experience

Desirable (but not essential) Experience

• Experience with MS Teams & Zoom systems (Logitech, Yealink, Poly, Crestron)
• Shure microphones and DSP systems
• Q-SYS platform
• Dante audio networking
• General networking, IP configuration, and AV-over-IP systems

The Ideal Candidate

• Based within commuting distance of Southeast London
• Passionate about audio-visual technology with a genuine interest in AV systems and equipment
• A problem solver with the ability to work both independently and as part of a team
• Flexible and willing to travel across the UK when required
• Reliable, organized, and able to deliver projects to a high standard

What's on Offer

• Salary: £35,000 to £45,000 per year (depending on skills and experience)
• Schedule: Monday to Friday, 8:30 am - 5:30 pm (occasional overtime available)
• Benefits: Yearly bonus scheme, ongoing training and development opportunities, career progression within a supportive and growing business, exposure to cutting-edge AV technologies across varied projects
