Dain Devlin

Dain Devlin’s career has moved from pulling cables, soldering connectors and building staging to working alongside architects and construction teams on complex technology projects. That progression now continues at Teecom, where he has joined as a full-time designer within a dedicated design consultancy.

Before the move, Devlin worked at Design AV Engineering (DAVE), gaining experience across both AV design consultancy and integration. As AV BIM Coordinator, he became the company’s BIM lead on a major project for d&b Solutions at the London headquarters of a French luxury fashion house, taking responsibility for model standards, coordination, ISO 19650 processes and COBie data.

The role placed him between AV and construction teams, requiring him to translate different priorities into a coordinated BIM process. Devlin says learning to keep people working from accurate information, resolve clashes and challenge departures from agreed processes constructively has been one of his most useful professional lessons.

At Teecom, he is building on that experience by using BIM to support the design and coordination of technology systems across the built environment.

Devlin wants AV to be treated more seriously as part of construction, with greater adoption of BIM, shared standards and accurate data. He also argues for clearer technical career paths that allow engineers to progress, lead and earn well without abandoning engineering itself.
