No day is the same and our diverse client base means project work is extremely varied. You must be a confident video engineer with experience of installing, troubleshooting and operating video systems for live events.
You should have an excellent working knowledge of audio-visual technology, control systems, rigging techniques, power distribution & data distribution.
A familiarity with Microsoft PowerPoint, Apple Keynote and Roland, Analog Way or Barco control systems will be essential. Experience in other production disciplines like audio or lighting would also be extremely beneficial.
The ideal candidate will be enthusiastic, eloquent and able to work well as part of a wider team or using their own initiative. The role is heavily client facing so you must be a confident communicator with a desire to deliver the best standards of service possible.
