What employers look forFrom the AV/IT Engineer guide
Captains and chief engineers hire people who can prove hands-on experience with marine or high-end residential systems. Backgrounds that work well include custom installation for luxury homes, hotel IT, broadcast and live events, or a shoreside yacht systems integrator. Certifications from Crestron, Cisco, Ubiquiti or Kaleidescape carry real weight, as does a calm manner with demanding guests. You need STCW Basic Safety and an ENG1 before you join, and experience with Starlink alongside traditional VSAT is now asked for in most adverts.

QuestionsSee what a AV/IT Engineer earns
What tickets should a AV/IT Engineer CV list?
List STCW Basic Safety Training and ENG1 medical certificate first, each with the date it was issued. Then add Cisco CCNA or CompTIA Network+ and Crestron or Savant programming certification if you hold them.
How long should a AV/IT Engineer CV be?
Two pages at most. Give your last three jobs in detail and one line each to older ones.
Can I copy this example CV?
Use the layout and the order, then replace every line with your own details. Never list a ticket or a job you do not have: captains and crew agents check certificates and call references.
