2 weeks ago

Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates 8d49bf42-b542-45d3-a34c-52e7b72f3c47 Full time 120,000 - 250,000 per year

Company Description

PowerhouseAV Middle East is a US-owned, premium smart home and audiovisual integration firm delivering high-performance solutions across Dubai and the GCC. Built on American engineering standards and world-class processes, we specialise in Control4, KNX, advanced home automation, luxury AV, networking, and end-to-end system integration.

Our portfolio ranges from high-end residential villas and penthouses to hospitality, commercial, and bespoke entertainment spaces. With a commitment to reliability, clean execution, and future-ready design, PowerhouseAV transforms spaces into seamless, intelligent environments that elevate comfort, security, and lifestyle.

Role Description

This is a full-time, on-site role in Dubai for a Lead Engineer – AV & Smart Home.

The Lead Engineer is a hands-on technical authority, responsible for the configuration, integration, programming, and commissioning of Control4, KNX, and advanced audiovisual systems. Unlike a Project Manager, this role is not focused on paperwork, scheduling, or client progress meetings — it is focused on technical depth, site execution, and flawless system performance.

The Lead Engineer will take ownership of all system-level tasks across the full project lifecycle: reviewing technical designs, supervising installation quality, managing on-site engineers, testing and validating system performance, resolving technical issues, coordinating with contractors on technical requirements, and ensuring all integrations meet premium PowerhouseAV standards.

This role is the technical backbone of every project — the person who ensures the system works seamlessly, is programmed correctly, and is delivered cleanly at handover. The focus is engineering excellence, not admin. This includes rack optimisation, network configuration, Control4 programming, KNX logic setup, audio calibration, device integration, and final system testing.

Qualifications

  • Strong, proven experience with Control4 (programming, integration, and commissioning)
  • Hands-on expertise with KNX lighting, HVAC, logic, and configuration
  • Proficiency with AV systems: distributed audio, home cinema, networking, rack builds, and system integration
  • Strong problem-solving and advanced troubleshooting skills
  • Ability to lead teams, manage multi-site workflows, and deliver projects on time
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with clients, contractors, and designers
  • Understanding of smart home ecosystems, network infrastructure, and system compatibility
  • Relevant certifications (Control4, KNX, networking, AVIXA, etc.) are a strong plus
  • Experience working in the Middle East market is advantageous
  • Candidates must have a manual driving license or be willing to convert their automatic license to manual.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary
  • Company vehicle
  • Company phone and laptop
  • Work with premium international brands and high-end residential/commercial clients
  • Growth opportunities within a rapidly scaling US-owned company
