-32,000 - -40,000 + Training + Van + Progression

A growing high end residential technology business is looking for a Field Installation Engineer to join its expanding team.

This is a strong step up for someone currently working in TV, satellite, broadband or home service installations who wants to move into the smart home and AV space over time.

You''ll be joining a small, hands on team delivering premium residential installations and will work directly alongside an experienced engineer who is scaling the business and investing heavily in the right person.

This is not a corporate service rota role. It''s practical, varied, and designed to develop you into a more advanced smart home engineer.

The Role

You will already be confident working in the field, and this role builds on that foundation while gradually introducing smart home systems.

Typical work includes:

* Installation and servicing of TV and satellite systems
* Residential AV and home entertainment setups
* First and second fix cabling in high end properties
* TV mounting, audio setup and cable management
* Router setup, WiFi configuration and basic networking support
* On site fault finding and issue resolution
* Supporting smart home installations such as Control4 and Lutron (training provided)
* Using laptops on site for checks, updates and basic system configuration

You will not be expected to program systems from day one, but you will work alongside them and build knowledge over time.

What They Are Looking For

* Background in TV, satellite, broadband or field service engineering
* Experience working in customer facing residential environments
* Good understanding of cabling, signal distribution or basic networking
* Confident fault finding and problem solving on site
* Strong attention to detail and pride in neat installations
* Willingness to learn smart home and AV technologies
* Full UK driving licence

Ideal backgrounds include Sky, Virgin Media, telecoms engineers, or similar field based installation roles.

Package

* -32,000 - -40,000 basic salary depending on experience
* Full training into smart home systems including Control4 and Lutron
* Clear progression into higher value AV and automation work
* Company van provided (following initial period)
* Tools and equipment supplied
* Residential high end project work
* Direct access to business leadership and real influence on progression
* Pension and holiday entitlement

Why This Role

This is a genuine transition opportunity.

You keep your core installation skillset but move away from standard service work into high end smart home environments where the technical level, project quality and earning potential are significantly higher.

It''s a long term career shift, not just another install job.
