In this role, you will be responsible for the hands-on installation, integration, testing, and commissioning of electrical and AV infrastructure across a variety of commercial, corporate, and residential projects.

You will bridge the gap between traditional electrical engineering and advanced AV technology, ensuring that power systems, structured cabling, and high-end AV equipment interface seamlessly and safely.

Key Responsibilities1. Installation & Integration

• Install, terminate, and test low-voltage and mains power cabling, containment systems (conduit, trunking, tray work), and AV-specific infrastructure.

• Integrate and mount AV hardware including large-format displays, LED video walls, projectors, smart boards, speakers, microphones, and rack-built systems.

• Solder, crimp, and terminate various connector types (RJ45, BNC, XLR, phoenix blocks, and custom power connectors).

2. Testing & Commissioning

• Perform electrical continuity, insulation resistance, and earth fault testing in compliance with local electrical codes.

• Assist AV programmers and commissioning engineers in powering up systems, loading configurations, and troubleshooting signal flow issues.

• Conduct systematic testing of audio, video, and control signals to ensure peak system performance.

3. Engineering & Compliance

• Interpret and work accurately from electrical schematics, line diagrams, architectural blueprints, and AV system CAD drawings.

• Ensure all electrical work strictly adheres to and local electrical safety standards and building regulations.

• Maintain meticulous "as-built" documentation, testing logs, and sign-off sheets for handed-over systems.

• Experience: Minimum of 2-4 years of experience in electrical installation, with a proven track record specifically within the AV, broadcast, or smart automation industries.

• Cabling Expertise: Deep understanding of copper and fiber structured cabling, signal separation rules (preventing EMI between power and data), and rack building.

• Flexibility: Willingness to travel to various project sites and occasionally work flexible hours to meet strict project deadlines.
