Looking for your next move in AV Commissioning?
If you're an experienced AV Commissioning Engineer who enjoys the technical side of AV and wants to keep progressing, this is an opportunity to join a business where career development genuinely happens. In fact, we're recruiting for this position because another member of the team has been internally promoted.
Rafferty Resourcing is working with a highly respected and growing Audio Visual business known for its excellent team environment, impressive staff retention, and genuine commitment to work-life balance. This is a company that invests in its people. You'll work alongside highly experienced AV professionals, have access to ongoing technical development, and be given the opportunity to accelerate your career as the business continues to grow.
We're not looking for someone who simply wants another AV job. We're looking for an experienced Commissioning Engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems, takes pride in delivering systems properly, and wants to become an important part of the team.
The Role
You'll take responsibility for the commissioning, configuration, testing, and technical delivery of professional AV systems across a variety of client environments.
Working closely with Project Managers, Programmers, Engineers, and clients, you'll be involved in projects from pre-build and testing through to final commissioning, acceptance, and handover.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Commissioning, configuring, and testing professional AV systems
- Fault-finding and resolving technical issues across complex AV environments
- Supervising and supporting system pre-build works
- Carrying out pre-commissioning testing and configuration prior to acceptance testing
- Preparing acceptance testing documentation for client and consultant sign-off
- Setting up, testing, and commissioning systems on-site
- Supporting control system programming and troubleshooting
- Producing and updating as-built documentation for DSPs, matrix systems, and system configurations
- Providing project information and equipment specifications to internal and third-party programmers
- Supporting Project Managers with technical delivery and third-party coordination
- Providing technical guidance to Installation, Sales, and Project Management teams
- Liaising professionally with clients throughout project delivery
- Supporting system maintenance, modifications, and technical issues following project completion
