Designation:  AV Engineer

The world of AV in local authorities may not sound like the most exciting, and we'll be honest it doesn't compare with working on super yachts BUT we are a well established business working with great clients. We give training and progression opportunities, regular appraisals and salary reviews and we genuinely care about the staff we employ.  We offer generous annual leave, TOIL, overtime and the ability to have input on the projects you will be working on along with other staff benefits.

We are looking to recruit an AV Engineer to work within our team carrying out installations of our brilliant custom built webcasting software and all of the wraparound AV equipment that goes along with that. Rack building, service visits and helping our amazing Service Desk will also play a part in your role.  The purpose of the role is to ensure that installations are carried out to the highest level with minimal waste of project time and resource.  A ‘right first time' mentality to prevent return site visits is a must. The right person will be willing to travel (van provided) and spend some time working away (usually 8-10 nights a month). We don't expect you to know it all, but a willingness to be proactive and learn new technology is essential.
