• Setting up, testing, and fine‑tuning AV and video‑conferencing systems.
• Checking installations, identifying issues, and coordinating fixes with the wider team.
• Carrying out configuration work both on site and at the workshop.
• Working alongside programmers to ensure control interfaces and DSP settings meet requirements.

• System Design
• Technical Specialist (DSP / Control)
• Project Engineering or Leadership roles

Your development path will be shaped around your strengths and ambitions.

Whats on Offer

• Salary negotiable (DOE)
• Overtime opportunities
• Pension contributions
• Laptop, phone, and all required tools
• Support with training, accreditations, and technical progression
• A friendly, collaborative environment with real long‑term opportunity
