Overview
With the continued expansion of our award‑winning technical services company, Sudlows, who work throughout the UK, we have a growing portfolio of projects and a fantastic opportunity for an Audio/Visual Solutions Engineer to join our successful business.
Role Purpose
The role of the Audio / Visual Solutions Engineer (AVSE) sits within Sudlows' Smart Technology team and supports activities around the design and delivery of our Audio/Visual solutions. The employee will principally be involved in installation, configuration, commissioning and technical support of Audio/Visual systems, and will also contribute to design activities such as surveying, supporting design documentation and providing site‑level project supervision where workload allows. The AVSE should maintain a good knowledge of prevailing standards and be willing to continually develop and learn to keep pace with technology. As part of this role the employee must also maintain a working knowledge of structured cabling systems, as this is a large part of the business’s offering and the foundation of an IP‑based AV system. Sudlows prides itself on the quality of its designs and installations, its customer engagement, and the high level of workmanship that is expected. All employees are expected to follow company processes relating to work documentation and internal paperwork and systems.
