Are You Ready to Work on Projects That Truly Stand Out?

Are you currently installing AV systems but rarely get the opportunity to work on genuinely high-end smart home projects?

Imagine commissioning private cinemas, luxury lighting control systems, multi-room audio and whole-home automation systems within some of the UK's most prestigious residential properties.

We're working with a well-established residential AV integrator with an excellent reputation for delivering exceptional smart home projects across London and the Home Counties. Due to continued growth, they're looking to recruit an experienced Senior AV Installation & Commissioning Engineer to join their team.

This is an opportunity to work on projects you'll genuinely be proud to put your name to.

This Isn't Just Another AV Installation Role

You'll play a key role in the technical delivery of high-end residential AV and home automation systems, taking projects from installation through to commissioning and final client handover.

You'll be trusted to make decisions on-site, solve technical challenges, and ensure systems are delivered to the highest possible standard.

No micromanagement.

No cutting corners.

No rushed installations that create problems later.

Just quality projects, premium technology, and a business that genuinely values good engineering.
