We're hiring! Lead Installation Engineer
January 22, 2026
Location: UK & International Project Opportunities
Reporting to: Projects Director
The Role
We’re looking for an experienced Lead AV Installation Engineer to take ownership of onsite delivery for complex AV projects across the UK and, as part of the wider VUE AV Group, selected international projects.
This is not just a technical install role. As Lead Engineer, you’ll be trusted to make decisions, communicate clearly with clients and internal teams, and protect delivery when plans change onsite — as they often do in the real world.
If you’re an engineer who enjoys responsibility, variety, and the opportunity to work beyond the UK on high-quality projects, this role offers that scope.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
- Leading AV installations onsite from mobilisation through to completion
- Acting as the technical authority and senior presence on site
- Installing and commissioning professional AV systems, including dvLED
- Managing change onsite while protecting quality, safety, and programme
- Communicating clearly with clients, contractors, and Project Managers
- Mentoring and supporting junior engineers onsite
- Representing the business professionally in both UK and international environments
What We’re Looking For
Essential:
- Proven experience as a Lead or Senior AV Installation Engineer
- Strong technical knowledge across professional AV systems
- Confident client-facing communication skills
- Ability to make sound decisions in dynamic, live environments
-
Full, valid UK driving licence
Desirable:
- dvLED installation and commissioning experience
- Manufacturer training or certification
- Willingness to travel internationally when projects require
What We Offer
We recognise that Lead Engineers are paid for technical knowledge, but accountable for far more — communication, judgement, and delivery outcomes.
- Market-aligned package
- Paid overtime where agreed in advance
- Paid additional travel time, or the option to bank it
- Time-banking for additional hours, taken back as leave
- Opportunities to work on international AV projects through the VUE AV Group
- Trust, autonomy, and respect for professional judgement
- Clear recognition of mentoring and delivery leadership
Two roles are available for this position.
