A platform to showcase the AV talent that I am working with in my role as a recruiter with AV Jobs in the UK

Field Sales Consultant, South East Based, AV/LED/Large Displays Sales Experience, Excellent Sales Track Record, Permanent


This candidate recently approached us and I have found him to be a determined and approachable sales professional with ambitions to improve himself and his career to the benefit of his next employer. Although successful in his current role, he is not utilising his full potential and will benefit from a more challenging role with a target focus.

He is an experienced sales professional with a strong track record of success in consistently delivering profit. In his current role he sells LED electronic displays to a variety of customers, including education (primarily secondary level) and leisure (for scoreboard systems and signage) as well as some SME and commercial clients (please contact me for more details). This candidate has a good understanding of LED and large format display technologies and has a keen interest in learning more about interactive AV technologies and integrated systems solutions.

Following on from his current successes, this candidate is now looking for a new opportunity where he can further develop his knowledge of AV whilst utilising his strong sales skills and work ethic. In his current role he is paid a basic of £30K + company car but earns no commission or bonus, and is not set a target. He feels that he would enjoy and achieve more in a targeted sales role where he has the opportunity to earn in line with his achievements. He is available at one month’s notice and lives in the South East with easy access to London and the South of England.

Custom Install Engineer, Strong Industry Experience, Design & Installation, Project Management Skills, Immediately Available, Permanent


I first worked with this candidate two years ago and introduced him to his current employer, where he has since enjoyed success and further developed as a technical Custom Installation professional. He is very passionate about CI, audio visual and home automation technologies and delivering the best solution for the needs of client.

This candidate has over 7 years’ experience as an engineer and project manager on custom install audio visual projects. He has a strong technical understanding of AV systems, particularly home automation, home cinema and multi-room AV. He is familiar with several popular control systems including Crestron and AMX. This candidate is also very strong on network technologies and infrastructure, including system design and installation. As well as his technical skills, he has excellent communication skills, selling to and account managing clients, as well as liaising with installation engineers and other relevant members of project teams.

His current employer is a high-end custom installation firm and his role as technical manager incorporates system design, installation, programming, commissioning and customer training; he also trains more junior members of the team on new technologies and products. Unfortunately the business unit he works for is set to close (a management decision not reflective of his performance) and he is now looking to further progress his career. This candidate is ambitious and is interested in an opportunity offering career advancement opportunities in the long term, with the chance to learn new technologies on the way. He is flexible on salary, as career progression opportunities and security are more important to him than short term financial gain; his current salary is £26K. Based in Stevenage and is used to commuting into London and travelling extensively in his current role.  His notice period is negotiable and short-term given his current employers impending closure.

I believe that this candidate will be an asset to any firm involved in residential AV projects or similar applications of technology.
