Take the Lead on High-Profile AV Projects Nationwide

Are you an experienced AV Engineer ready to step up into a lead role, working on large-scale, high-impact installations for recognised brands?

This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing, forward-thinking AV integrator delivering cutting-edge digital experiences across the automotive and retail sectors. You'll not just install systems-you'll lead projects, influence technical decisions, and work with the latest technologies in the industry.

The Opportunity

As a Lead AV Technician, you'll take ownership of installations from survey through to handover-leading on-site delivery, guiding engineers, and ensuring exceptional quality across every project.

You'll play a critical role in bringing immersive AV environments to life, working with modern systems including video over IP, control systems, and integrated digital displays.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to move beyond standard installs and become a trusted technical lead on complex, multi-site projects.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead and deliver end-to-end AV installations across client sites nationwide
  • Conduct technical site surveys and contribute to system design input
  • Install, configure and commission audio-visual systems (from first fix to final handover)
  • Take the lead on-site-managing engineers and subcontractors to deliver projects on time and to spec
  • Provide programming and commissioning support (audio, lighting, control systems)
  • Troubleshoot technical issues and adapt to live site challenges
  • Deliver client-facing service visits and maintain key relationships
  • Support the growth of the installation team through mentoring and onboarding engineers

    • Video over IP / AV distribution systems
  • Experience leading or taking ownership of on-site installations
  • Confident working in a client-facing role
