Installation engineers are qualified professionals responsible for physically setting up and installing machinery, equipment, or systems on-site.
Alongside this, they are also responsible for ensuring what they have installed works properly and complies with relevant safety regulations. What you need to know will depend on the specific job – but it could be anything from IT or phone systems to manufacturing lines, power stations or lighting at a sports stadium.
Again, this will depend on the level of training and technical expertise you need. Expect a starting salary of £28,000, an average of around £40,000 and for highly specialist positions, it’s not uncommon to earn £50,000. It’s a very responsible role so at the very minimum, you will need GCSEs in English and Maths and a relevant vocational qualification like an NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Installation and Commissioning Engineering.
