Job description

AV Installation Engineer (LS33311) Lambeth, England

Salary: GBP40000 - GBP45000 per annum + Negotiable and Dependent on experience

AV Installation Engineer

London & Home Counties

Are you an experienced AV Installation Engineer who's tired of being "just another engineer" on site?

Do you take pride in delivering high-quality installations and want to work on exciting corporate, education and retail AV projects using the latest technology?

If you're an experienced AV professional who enjoys solving problems, takes ownership of your work, and wants to be part of a growing business that genuinely values its engineers, we'd like to talk to you.

The client's engineers are at the heart of everything we do. As we continue our growth across the UK, we're looking for skilled AV Installation Engineers to join our Operations team and help deliver exceptional AV solutions for prestigious clients.

What You'll Be Working On

You will be involved in the installation and integration of high-end AV systems, including:

• Large-format video walls
• Digital signage solutions
• Control systems including Crestron, Extron and QSC
• Education and retail AV deployments
• Multi-site AV integration projects

No two projects are the same. You will work alongside highly experienced engineers and project teams delivering installations that you can be proud to put your name to.

Who We're Looking For

This role is for experienced AV engineers who already understand what good looks like.

You’ll likely have:

• At least 5 years' experience within the AV installation industry
• Strong first and second fix installation experience
• Experience terminating, wiring, crimping, rack building and testing systems
• The ability to work confidently from schematics, drawings and site plans
• Experience with video conferencing technologies
• Knowledge of control systems such as Extron, Crestron or QSC
• Experience installing video wall solutions from manufacturers such as Samsung, NEC or Absen
• Strong attention to detail and pride in delivering quality workmanship
• A full UK driving licence

What Makes You Stand Out

We’re particularly interested in engineers who:

• Take ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do
• Can identify and solve issues on site
• Communicate professionally with colleagues and clients
• Want to continuously develop their technical skills
• Hold a CTS qualification (desirable but not essential)

What You’ll Be Doing

As an AV Installation Engineer, you will be responsible for:

• Delivering first and second fix AV installations to the highest standard
• Installing, terminating and testing cabling infrastructure
• Mounting displays, video walls, speakers and hardware
• Working from drawings, schematics and technical documentation
• Supporting project delivery alongside senior engineers and project managers
• Conducting site surveys and reporting installation requirements
• Preparing systems for commissioning and handover
• Troubleshooting installation issues and finding practical solutions
• Maintaining accurate documentation and installation records
• Ensuring health and safety standards are consistently maintained

What You’ll Receive

• Salary of £40,000 to £45,000 depending on experience
• Overtime opportunities
• 28 days annual leave
• Ongoing training and development opportunities
• Genuine opportunities for career progression within a growing business

This Role Is Perfect For You If...

• You have solid AV installation experience and want to work on larger, more technically challenging projects.
• You want to be recognised for the quality of your work.
• You enjoy working with good people who care about getting installs right.
• You're looking for long-term career progression rather than just another engineering job.
