Head of Audio Visual Technical Services

Head of Audio Visual Technical Services: lead the engineering team at a growing AV integrator, £60,000-£70,000

£60,000-£70,000 + 10% bonus | Hybrid | Leatherhead, Surrey

Our client is a fast-growing commercial AV integrator, part of a wider group, and they’re hiring a Head of Audio Visual Technical Services. You’ll own the technical standards, lead the engineering and installation teams, and act as the senior technical voice in pre-sales as the business scales.

This is a senior leadership seat. You’ll set the bar for how things are designed, built and delivered, and be the person the team turns to when something needs solving properly.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Set and own technical standards, processes and quality frameworks across the business
• Lead, mentor and develop the engineering and installation teams, building capability for the scale ahead
• Act as the senior technical voice in pre-sales: designing winning solutions, shaping tender responses and giving clients confidence from the first conversation
• Be the escalation point for complex technical challenges
• Drive continuous improvement across systems, tools and delivery methodologies
• Build and manage relationships with key technology partners and vendors
• Work with sister businesses in the wider group to align technical standards and explore integration opportunities
• Ensure compliance with industry standards, health and safety legislation and best-practice installation guidelines

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• 5+ years in a senior technical AV role, with a strong commercial B2B integration background
• Deep, hands-on AV knowledge: video conferencing ecosystems (Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms), control platforms (Q-SYS, Crestron, AMX), large-format display and LED wall technology, and unified communications infrastructure
• Proven people leadership: you get the best out of a team, have the difficult conversations and develop people over time
• Commercial awareness: you understand that technical excellence and project profitability aren’t in conflict
• Strong communicator at every level, equally comfortable presenting to a client’s IT Director and troubleshooting on the tools with an engineer
• CTS, CTS-D, CTS-I, CEDIA or equivalent accreditations highly desirable
• Full, clean UK driving licence and the right to work in the UK

THE PACKAGE

• £60,000-£70,000 base salary
• 10% bonus
• 25 days holiday
• Hybrid working, based in Leatherhead

WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT

• True ownership: you set the technical standards rather than inherit them
• Leadership and technical depth in one role, not a pure management seat
• Pre-sales influence: you help shape what the business wins as well as how it delivers
• Part of a wider group, with scope to align standards and build across sister businesses
• A growing business where your impact will be visible
