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.

AV Engineer, Early Career with AV Installation Experience + IT Experience, London E1 Based, Available from 24th September 2012, Permanent

This candidate got in touch with me last week. He is in the early stages of his AV career. He has worked hard to break into audio visual systems integration following early experience in mainstream commercial IT installation/support roles.

This candidate has a genuine passion for AV and has been unlucky in that his current employer is restructuring just after he has joined them. I feel that he will quickly grow to be an invaluable technical team member for the right integrator or service provider.

An AV Engineer with experience working for a large AV integrator on a contract basis (initially 3 months extended to 6 months) where he was performing 1^st and 2^nd fix installations into corporate sites in London’s financial centre. Following completion of the contract, he accepted a permanent position with another AV & VC integrator in June 2012; unfortunately the company are now restructuring and this candidate has been let go on a last-in first-out basis and will be available to start a new role from Monday 24^th September, or at one week’s notice. He previously worked in IT engineering.

This candidate has experience of installing a variety of AV technologies and infrastructure including video conferencing systems (Cisco/Tandberg & Polycom), Crestron & AMX control systems (installation but not programming), ceiling and wall mounts, various types of cabling including terminations, amplifiers, switches and displays. He also has some experience rack building, commissioning and trouble-shooting the installed system.

This candidate is actively looking for a permanent opportunity where he can build on his existing AV experience and build a long term career with a stable employer. He lives in London (E1) and is happy to travel as required. His salary was £23K + fuel expenses, but he is flexible on this for the right opportunity. He is available for interview immediately.

AV & VC Installation Engineer, Hertfordshire based, Available at Short Notice, Permanent

This candidate is a motivated professional who is keen to find the right permanent opportunity to help move his career forward. It is always enjoyable to speak with him and I think that he will be great asset to the right employer, offering professionalism, integrity and a very personable demeanour.

He is an experienced video conferencing & audio visual installation engineer, currently working on a contract basis in the South of England, installing Crestron and AMX based integrated AV solutions into the corporate market. He has a very strong technical understanding of the latest AV and VC technologies, perhaps beyond what might be expected of an installation engineer. He has designed, specified and installed bespoke AV systems, often managing projects himself. His VC experience includes planning, installing, configuring and maintaining video conferencing solutions from Polycom and Cisco (Tandberg). Also familiar with rack building and all kinds of cabling, including terminations.

He has strong client liaison skills as well as good project coordination experience, including scheduling work and timely ordering of required kit. Again, he is happy to go beyond the “expected” level of service given by “an installer” and enjoys surprising clients (in a good way!). Many of his projects have been for corporates in London (mostly financials) but he has also had some exposure to Custom Install work.

Now looking for a new permanent opportunity as an AV/VC installer or Project Engineer/Coordinator where he can utilise his technical knowledge, client liaison and project management skills. He is available at short notice (currently freelance) and is looking at salaries of £24K+ with Vehicle or equivalent. Based in Hertfordhire and happy to travel as required.

This candidate was a joy to speak to today; he is very positive about the Video Conferencing industry and the opportunities on offer. He is currently working freelance, but keen to find a permanent opportunity where he can enjoy professional development and a stable workload with a regular income.

He is an accomplished Video Conferencing Engineer with experience of the installation and support of a wide range of video conferencing solutions, including Polycom , Tandberg and Lifesize systems, as well as the associated infrastructure, including Cisco switches, IP networks, Bridges and Codecs (Codian/Tandberg).

He is currently freelancing, running the AV and VC services for live events, as well as subcontracting for integrators on AV and VC installations.

He is actively looking for a permanent opportunity with a company that can make use of his VC knowledge and engineering skills, as well as his client facing abilities and positive approach to work. He has a “can do” attitude and is happy to work extra hours or shifts to complete work as required. He is based in Berkshire (Southern England) and is available at two weeks’ notice. He currently holds a Tier 1 visa, allowing him full right to work in the UK, and will be eligible and applying for indefinite leave to remain (meaning he will be a permanent UK resident) in January 2013. He is flexible on salary, and has suggested £24-28K as a guide, but his main priority is to find a long term opportunity where he can enjoy career progression.
