Custom Install Engineer, Strong Industry Experience, Design & Installation, Project Management Skills, Immediately Available, Permanent

I first worked with this candidate two years ago and introduced him to his current employer, where he has since enjoyed success and further developed as a technical Custom Installation professional. He is very passionate about CI, audio visual and home automation technologies and delivering the best solution for the needs of client.

This candidate has over 7 years’ experience as an engineer and project manager on custom install audio visual projects. He has a strong technical understanding of AV systems, particularly home automation, home cinema and multi-room AV. He is familiar with several popular control systems including Crestron and AMX. This candidate is also very strong on network technologies and infrastructure, including system design and installation. As well as his technical skills, he has excellent communication skills, selling to and account managing clients, as well as liaising with installation engineers and other relevant members of project teams.

His current employer is a high-end custom installation firm and his role as technical manager incorporates system design, installation, programming, commissioning and customer training; he also trains more junior members of the team on new technologies and products. Unfortunately the business unit he works for is set to close (a management decision not reflective of his performance) and he is now looking to further progress his career. This candidate is ambitious and is interested in an opportunity offering career advancement opportunities in the long term, with the chance to learn new technologies on the way. He is flexible on salary, as career progression opportunities and security are more important to him than short term financial gain; his current salary is £26K. Based in Stevenage and is used to commuting into London and travelling extensively in his current role.  His notice period is negotiable and short-term given his current employers impending closure.

I believe that this candidate will be an asset to any firm involved in residential AV projects or similar applications of technology.

AV & VC Installation Engineer, Kent Based (Easy Access to London), Strong Corporate Installation Background, Available Immediately, Permanent

I have been speaking with this candidate for a couple of weeks now; he enjoys Audio Visual technology on a personal level and loves his working day, with AV installation being his dream job. Unfortunately he has just today had confirmation of redundancy (the threat of which was why he contacted me in the first place) and so now needs to find a new role ASAP. I believe that his current employer’s loss will be someone else’s gain.

This candidate is an experienced AV Installer currently working (until today) for a systems integrator, where has enjoyed installing Crestron, AMX and Extron based integrated systems for major corporates in London. He has installed the network infrastructure, racks (including rack build), control systems, VC endpoints and Codecs (Polycom and Cisco/Tandberg), displays and projectors, as well as digital signage and IP TV systems. A technically confident installer who prides himself on the quality and speed of his work; he has been requested by name by several clients whilst in his current role.

Redundant with immediate effect, as such this candidate is actively looking for a new opportunity. He is available at short notice (he can start tomorrow in the right role), he is looking for a permanent opportunity offering good career development in the long term. He lives in the Gravesend area of Kent, with easy access to Central London and is happy to travel as the role requires. His current salary is £22.5K and he is looking to improve this to around the £25K level, but is flexible and appreciates that he needs to prove himself to a new employer. He is a British national with full right to work in the UK.
