Job Description:

AV Systems Commissioning & Automation Engineer

Greater Manchester & UK Travel £40,000 - £50,000 + Career Growth Opportunities

Build the AV Systems Others Can't.

Are you the engineer everyone turns to when a complex AV system won't behave as expected?

Do you enjoy combining AV, networking, automation and software development to create intelligent solutions that work flawlessly in real-world environments?

If you're looking for a role where you'll have genuine technical ownership, work with cutting-edge technology, and contribute to prestigious projects across the UK, we'd like to hear from you.

Our client are expanding their engineering team and are looking for a highly skilled AV Commissioning & Automation Engineer to play a key role in delivering advanced audiovisual and control system projects for leading automotive and commercial brands.

This is more than a commissioning role. It's an opportunity to influence how systems are designed, integrated, automated and supported from concept to completion.

What You'll Be Doing

As a senior technical specialist, you'll be responsible for bringing sophisticated AV environments to life.

You'll:

• Commission and optimise enterprise-level AV, audio, video and control systems across multiple UK client sites.
• Design and programme Q-SYS and Crestron control solutions with intuitive user experiences.
• Develop automation tools and software integrations that improve deployment speed and system performance.
• Configure and support complex network infrastructures including VLANs, managed switches and firewall environments.
• Deliver large-scale AVoIP and digital communications projects where reliability is critical.
• Create Python-based tools using APIs and SSH to automate commissioning, configuration and deployment tasks.
• Troubleshoot complex technical challenges and act as an escalation point for advanced support issues.
• Produce clear technical documentation, standards and best practice guides.
• Work alongside project managers, clients and technology partners to ensure successful project delivery.
• Support high-profile installations, launches and live events where performance matters.

What Makes This Opportunity Different?

You'll be trusted to solve problems, not just follow instructions.

One day you might be developing an automation tool that removes hours from a deployment process. The next, you'll be commissioning an advanced control platform, designing network architecture, or integrating bespoke hardware solutions using CAD and 3D printing technologies.

If you enjoy variety, innovation and technical challenge, you'll feel right at home.

We're Looking For Someone With

• Strong AV commissioning and systems integration experience.
• Expertise in Q-SYS and/or Crestron programming and deployment.
• Solid understanding of enterprise networking, VLANs and managed switching.
• Experience with Dante, DSP platforms and AV-over-IP technologies.
• Python development skills, particularly around automation and API integrations.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities.
• A proactive mindset and passion for emerging technology.
• Excellent communication skills and a customer-focused approach.
