• Excellent communication skills (both verbal and written).
• Ability to manage time independently, meet deadlines, and handle multiple tasks.
• Full UK driving licence (clean) and a valid passport with no travel restrictions.
• Flexible approach to working hours - occasional out‑of‑hours support may be required.

Ideal Candidate Traits

• Customer‑first approach with a focus on delivering a great service experience
• Comfortable adapting to change and working in a fast‑paced environment
• Willingness to support and share knowledge with team members
• Strong understanding of AV technology and a desire to stay up to date with new developments
