An AV Custom Install Engineer with 8 years’ experience working for a specialist custom installation company on high end residential AV systems installation, as well as Super Yacht installations and a few commercial/corporate projects too. This candidate has gained strong knowledge across a range of technologies, including rack building (he was head of the rack building team for over a year), cable terminations, system installation, including network infrastructure, control systems (mainly Lutron and Crestron with some Control4), displays, projectors and audio systems. He gained a well-rounded exposure to the wide variety of technologies integrated into contemporary whole home automation and entertainment technologies. He is confident working on his own or as part of a team.

 This candidate recently left his employment on good terms (references available on request) and is actively looking for a new opportunity where he can make use of his Custom Installation skills and knowledge of AV and related technologies. He lives in Kent and is happy to travel as the role requires, being used to regular travel into London, where most of his previous projects have been located, as well as occasionally going further afield.

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.

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.

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 Installation Engineer, London Based, Available June 11th 2012, Permanent

This candidate is a little less experienced than most of the people we speak to here at AV Jobs; he is at an early stage of his career, but has already picked up some good AV skills and has worked in The City on high end installations, and proven his worth on a large project there. It would be great to help him find an opportunity where he can further develop and also reward his employer with dedication and enthusiasm for AV.

Currently working as an AV installation engineer on a contract basis for a top systems integrator on a multi-storey AV and VC refit for an investment bank  in The City of London. He has worked on this contract for the last 9 months and in that time has installed a wide range of AV and VC equipment to first and second fix stages, including projectors, screens, displays, racks, Crestron switches, Extron switches, Polycom VC endpoints and associated cabling. He has also pulled and terminated various types of cables across multiple floors of the installation.

           

This candidate is looking for a long term opportunity to work in the AV industry with an employer that can make use of his current skills and also allow him the opportunity to further develop. He has already passed the Infocomm CTS essentials course and hols a valid CSCS card as well as training in working at heights and general health & safety. He is based in East London and has a full UK driving license. He is currently earning the equivalent of £24K on his current contract and is looking for a similar level in his next role, although his main priority is a long term opportunity with a genuine career path.
