Job description

This is a hands-on lead installation role for engineers who enjoy being on site, taking ownership, and running jobs properly.

You'll be joining a small, growing AV business with big ambitions and a strong family feel. This is not a place where you disappear into a headcount spreadsheet. You'll be trusted, listened to, and given real responsibility on customer sites.

If you like leading subcontractors, being customer-facing, and delivering high-quality installs without drama, this role gives you autonomy, variety, and the chance to grow alongside the business.

The company is actively expanding and hiring multiple engineers, so there's genuine opportunity to progress as the team scales.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead on-site AV installations across multiple customer environments.

  • Supervise and coordinate subcontractors on live projects.

  • Read and work from drawings, scopes, and installation plans.

  • Act as the on-site technical and customer-facing lead.

  • Deliver high-quality installs with a strong focus on presentation and finish.

  • Ensure installations are completed safely, on time, and to specification.

  • Work closely with internal teams when not on site.
