• Delivering high standard installations in both residential and commercial environments

This is a hands on role where quality of install matters.

What They Are Looking For

• Experience as an AV Installer, AV Engineer or Smart Home Installer
• Background in either residential AV (Control4, Lutron), commercial AV (VC, structured cabling, networking) or Satellites and Aerials installs.
• Strong knowledge of cabling, containment and AV infrastructure
• Comfortable using a laptop for system checks and setup
• High attention to detail and pride in installation quality
• Able to work independently and manage time on site
