Lead AV Engineer

The Lead Engineer is CTI’s elite on\-site technical resource a hands\-on expert who knows how to build, commission, and finish systems to perfection. You are as comfortable leading a team on a construction site as you are tuning DSPs, finalising code, or walking a client through their system on handover day.

You own every detail of delivery, mechanical, electrical, and software ensuring that what’s been engineered and pre\-built off\-site performs flawlessly in the real world. You take pride in doing things properly, leading by example, and finishing with precision, professionalism, and pride.

Key Responsibilities:

Site Leadership: Take responsibility for day\-to\-day site activity, directing technicians, assigning tasks, and ensuring safe, efficient progress in line with CTI’s engineering standards and construction requirements.

System Integration: Install, wire, and configure complete AV systems, following detailed schematics, rack elevations, and network layouts. Maintain clean, organised, and methodical installations that meet CTI’s quality benchmarks.

Commissioning \& Final Execution: Deploy and verify configurations, test functionality, tune DSPs, balance audio, align video, calibrate displays, and refine control systems until the system performs exactly to design intent.

Troubleshooting \& Issue Resolution: Diagnose and resolve on\-site challenges calmly and efficiently whether mechanical, electrical, or software\-related. You own problems end\-to\-end, ensuring systems leave site stable, reliable, and client ready.

Client Delivery: Be the technical face of CTI during commissioning and handover. Deliver systems that look professional, work beautifully, and are intuitive for clients to operate.

System Verification: Perform and document complete system testing, ensuring signal flow, control logic, and performance align with the design brief and CTI standards.

Training \& Handover: Provide concise, practical training to end users and technical staff, ensuring clients understand operation and maintenance. Prepare final as\-built documentation, system backups, and sign\-off reports.

Quality \& Ownership: Inspect all installation work, verify terminations, label completeness, rack dressing, and documentation before sign\-off. You don’t leave until it’s right technically, visually, and operationally.

Health \& Safety Leadership: Lead by example on\-site, maintaining full compliance with safety policies and risk assessments, and ensuring all team members work safely and professionally.

Cross\-Team Collaboration: Feed real\-world insights back to design, engineering, and service teams to improve processes and documentation for future projects.

Maintain a Flexible Work Approach: Be adaptable with working hours and site requirements to meet project deadlines without compromising quality.

Follow CTI’s Quality Standards: Ensure all responsibilities align with CTI’s ISO 9001 quality procedures.

It’s Not Done Until It’s Done: See installations through to absolute completion, including system sign\-offs, return of any unused materials, final quality assurance checks, and smooth handover to the service department.

Key Skills \& Qualifications:

Technical Breadth: Deep working knowledge across AV, UC, and broadcast systems including Crestron, Q\-SYS, Biamp, Extron, Shure, Ross, Disguise, and similar platforms.

Commissioning Proficiency: Skilled in DSP tuning, control code deployment, video calibration, and network configuration (VLAN, Dante, AES67, NDI).

Installation Discipline: Expert\-level mechanical and electrical installation skills, including cable management, signal integrity, and system build quality.

Problem Solving: Methodical fault\-finding across hardware, software, and networks.

Documentation: Produce accurate commissioning records, as\-built drawings, backups, and verification checklists.

Certifications preferred;

• CTS


• CTS\-I


• ECS


• SSSTS


• IPAF
