    Description

    Job Description

    Experienced Audiovisual Systems Designer

    Area: Greater London / Central London

    Office Location: Old Street

    Contract: Full time, permanent

    Salary: £40,000 - £47,000 DOE + Overtime

    About us:

    Crossover is one of the UK's leading AV Systems Integrators. Based in Central London, we design, supply, and install a very wide range of high-end audio & audiovisual systems for clients across many different industries. High-profile projects include AV and audio system installs for the BBC, Serco, Monzo, the NHS, TripAdvisor, Ferrari, Lush, Barry's Bootcamp, and Rolls Royce to name a few.

    As a company we are dynamic, and we're thriving thanks to our attention-to-detail and focus on getting the job done perfectly with a genuinely caring attitude at every stage, meaning that most of our clients are repeat or come from referrals. We were chosen as 'Breakthrough Company of the Year' Finalist in the 2017 AV Awards, but have come a long way since then

    As a team we are hard-working and take pride in our highly collaborative attitude, fostering a supportive, close-knit team with no egos and no 'blame culture'. We invest very heavily in the personal and professional development of each and every member of our team – this is at the centre of our ethos, and having one of the team who only joined us a year previously in a junior role be selected as the AV Awards 'Rising Star' is one of many testaments to that.

    About the Role:

    Working as an Audiovisual (AV) Systems Designer you will be designing and consulting on a range of commercial AV projects, using your extensive product knowledge to select the most suitable equipment on the market, in order to meet a brief with effective and commercially viable solutions.

    You will primarily be responsible for understanding client requirements, and turning those into functional AV systems which are a pleasure to use. You will also be responsible for sharing all the details of your designs to our installation teams, in order that they can carry out a smooth and high-quality installation, with you serving as the main technical voice whenever questions come up.

    The role will bring the chance to design large scale and innovative AV projects for high-profile spaces in Central London and the rest of the UK. Some of our recent work includes projects for the BBC, NHS training facilities, HQs for multinational corporations, some of the world's finest showrooms, state of the art sports facilities, highly flexible conference centres, well known events spaces, award-winning flagship retail spaces on Oxford Street, the whole of the outdoor PA systems for huge sprawling retail villages, corporate video studios, and high quality live music venues.

    As part of the design process you would be investigating state-of-the-art AV technology and thinking creatively to solve technical challenges with innovative, and often pioneering, approaches.

    The requirements of the role

    Proactively manage design pipeline and own your workflow

    Have client meetings to understand the real needs behind their requests

    Develop functional systems which consider the clients' spoken and unspoken needs

    Develop system schematics

    Develop BOM and accurate pricing documents

    Develop client proposals

    Manage admin processes to deal with approved projects, including hand-over to admin teams and installation teams

    Work with our Project Engineer (who does the bulk of the work to make the final schematics, drawings elevations, cable schedules), to provide initial draft (sometimes hand-drawn) versions; and check their output.

    Develop scope of works documents / explain these during Design Handover Meetings

    Ability to carry out site surveys

    Maintain up to date industry knowledge

    Liaising with manufacturer product specialists

    Review of proposal documents, which outline and sell the AV systems you have designed

    Working closely with Project Managers and the Installation Manager so that they can effectively plan for installation works.

    Communicating useful product information to the rest of the Design Team.

    Attending training courses & trade exhibitions

    What it takes to flourish in the role

    Complete ownership of projects and teamwork - assume full responsibility for all aspects of design jobs and be willing to work to solve any issues that arise, including those that may seem "not my problem"

    Good communication skills both internally and externally, including frequent comms and reliable following through - not leaving loose ends

    Obsessive attention to detail - never failing to capitalise the right words, or spot slight imperfections/inconsistencies

    Proactive, 'can-do' attitude - being able to see past any problems which may seem like roadblocks and find solutions

    Ability to follow standard protocols, as well as thinking critically and knowing when to use their own judgement to discern whether ignoring the protocol might be the best solution

    Openness to continuous learning, and ability to see different viewpoints

    Technical requirements

    This role involves a deep technical understanding of how different AV devices are connected and interfaced within larger integrated systems. Those systems could include QSYS / Crestron / Extron control, switching and transmission; videoconferencing systems (Polycom, Logitech etc), audio DSP, streaming, digital signage, projection and audio systems.

    About you and what you will need:

    Based within London Zones 1 – 6

    Deeply interested in the world of audio and audiovisual systems, technologies and equipment

    As happy and comfortable working alone for a whole day, as working closely with others

    A minimum of 3 years of experience in an AV Systems Design / Consultancy role. (Previous experience in designing systems for any of the following sectors would be highly advantageous; conference centres and events spaces, leisure and fitness venues, commercial offices and boardrooms, retail environments and showrooms.)

    Full UK working rights

    Ability to use AutoCAD is desirable

    Career development:

    There is scope within the business to develop as per your strengths and interests. We are a dynamic, energised company whose Directors genuinely believe in helping each and every member of the team to fulfil their potential and will support you to grow with the business.
