Reading (Covering London & Home Counties)
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.
