Job description

Location: Surrey and surrounding areas, with occasional work in London
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00am-4:00pm
Salary: Negotiable depending on experience

Are you an AV Engineer who genuinely loves technology and wants to play a bigger part in the future of a growing business?

Perhaps you enjoy working in high-end residential AV but feel like a small part of a much larger organisation. Or maybe you're looking for better working hours, a more local territory and the opportunity to have a real voice in how a business develops.

This could be a genuinely career-changing opportunity.

The Opportunity:

We're working with a highly regarded, specialist technology company delivering premium AV solutions to high-value customers across Surrey, the surrounding areas and occasionally London.

The business has built an excellent reputation through the quality of its work, its attention to detail and the service it provides to its customers. Demand has remained consistently strong, and the company is now ready to enter an exciting new phase of growth.

This is a pivotal appointment. You won't simply join as another AV Engineer, you'll become an important part of a close-knit team and have the opportunity to help shape how the technical side of the business develops over the coming years.

The owners are hands-on and work closely with the team, so your ideas, experience and contribution will be noticed. As the company grows, there is real scope for this position to grow with it.

What You'll Be Doing:

The role will focus predominantly on audiovisual installation and integration within high-end residential environments.

Your work will include:

• Installing and integrating high-quality audiovisual systems
• Working with smart-home and home-automation technology
• Installing and supporting Control4 systems
• Working with Lutron and Crestron technology where required
• Carrying out system testing, fault-finding and troubleshooting
• Supporting surveillance and wider integrated technology systems
• Ensuring every installation is completed neatly, accurately and to an exceptional standard
• Communicating professionally and respectfully with customers
• Working closely with the owner and wider team to deliver a first-class service
• Developing your technical knowledge through further training and hands-on experience

These are high-value installations within customers' homes, so professionalism, discretion and attention to detail are essential.

What We're Looking For:

We're looking for someone with practical AV installation experience and some previous exposure to Control4. You don't need to use it every day or already know everything about the platform, but you must understand the fundamentals and be keen to develop your knowledge through further training.

Experience with Lutron or Crestron would also be highly beneficial.

Just as importantly, you will:

• Have a genuine passion for audiovisual technology
• Take pride in the quality and presentation of your work
• Be professional, trustworthy and comfortable working in customers' homes
• Be willing to learn and develop your technical skills
• Enjoy solving problems and finding practical solutions
• Work well as part of a small, friendly and collaborative team
• Be excited by the opportunity to contribute to a growing company
• Want more than simply turning up, completing installations and going home

We're looking for someone who wants to become an important part of the business and help shape its next chapter.

Why Join?:

This isn't a large corporate organisation with layers of management and an enormous benefits brochure and that is part of its appeal.

Instead, you'll benefit from:

• Excellent working hours of 8:00am-4:00pm, Monday to Friday
• Work primarily across Surrey and the surrounding areas
• A better work-life balance than many field-based AV positions
• A friendly, close-knit team that genuinely looks after one another
• A hands-on and approachable business owner
• Interesting, high-quality residential AV projects
• Further opportunities to learn and develop
• The chance to influence how the business grows
• Genuine long-term career potential as the company expands
• A negotiable salary based on the experience and knowledge you bring
