Job description

Senior AV Engineer

Luxury Residential Integration - Surrey and parts of London

Up to £47,000 basic + vehicle + overtime + incentives

If you want to work on AV projects that genuinely raise the bar, this is one of those roles.

You'll be joining a specialist luxury residential integrator delivering some of the most technically advanced smart homes in Surrey and London. These are ultra high net worth properties including large private estates, multi level penthouses, dedicated cinemas, and fully integrated whole home control systems.

Everything is engineered properly, documented clearly, and delivered to an exceptional standard. This is not volume work. It is precision led, quality first integration.

They are now looking for a Senior Audio Visual Engineer who can provide strong technical delivery on site and set the standard for others to follow.

The role

This is a hands on Engineering position where you remain heavily involved in installation, programming and commissioning.

You will be the point of reference for complex decisions, system behaviour, and final quality, working closely with design, programming, and project teams to ensure flawless delivery.

What you will be doing

• Providing on site delivery across flagship luxury residential projects
• Carrying out AV installation, programming, commissioning, and maintenance
• Working with control systems, lighting control, audio, video, and networks
• Acting as the technical authority on site for engineers and clients
• Mentoring and supporting mid level engineers to raise standards
• Working closely with designers, programmers, and project managers
• Bringing structure, clarity, and calm to complex systems and environments

What you need to bring

• Strong AV installation background in residential or high end commercial
• Experience leading installs or acting as a senior technical presence on site
• Experience with Crestron and Lutron systems
• Solid networking knowledge
• High standards around cable management, rack builds, and documentation
• Confident, professional communication with clients and teams
• A proactive problem solving mindset

Why this role stands out

You'll work on some properties that operate more like private estates than standard residential projects. Quality comes before speed. Engineers are trusted. Standards are non negotiable.

If you take pride in your craft and want to lead from the front on some of the best residential AV projects in the UK, this role delivers exactly that.

Salary and package

• Up to £47,000 basic salary depending on experience
• Overtime available
• Company vehicle
• Performance incentives
• Genuine long term progression
