Job description

Overview

South London-based | UK & International Travel | Full-Time, Permanent

The Flash Pack is a technical production agency specialising in immersive content experiences and permanent installations. We work with brands including Google, Dyson, Burberry and Red Bull, delivering creative technology solutions across live events, branded environments and long-term venue installations. Our work is built around high-end photo, video and interactive AV systems — designed, built and delivered by our in-house team of creatives, producers, technicians, developers and fabricators.

The Role

We’re looking for an AV Technician to join our Technical Production team, supporting the delivery of live events, installations and permanent photobooth systems in the UK and internationally.

Alongside exciting live activations and installs, The Flash Pack operates a growing network of permanent photobooth installations in venues. Part of this role involves servicing, maintaining and supporting these systems through routine site visits, fault-finding and on-site repairs — providing a balance of variety and consistency.

You’ll be reliable, hands-on with kit, working in fast-paced environments and supporting projects from prep through to delivery and ongoing support.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Installing, configuring and operating AV, photo and video systems at live events and installations
• Preparing and testing equipment pre-event (computers, cameras, printers, lighting, networking)
• Supporting packing, shipping, delivery and on-site setup of technical kit
• Troubleshooting IT, AV and networking issues during live activations
• Supporting and maintaining permanent installations (on-site and remotely)
• Working closely with the wider technical team to maintain equipment, workshop organisation and inventory
• Documenting faults and feeding back improvements
• Supporting R&D and testing of new tools and technologies

Essential Requirements

• Full UK driving licence
• Comfortable working hands-on with AV, IT or event technology
• Basic understanding of AV systems
• Networking fundamentals (LAN, Wi-Fi, IP addressing)
• Safe power distribution for events
• Calm under pressure and able to problem-solve on site
• Good communication skills and a team-first attitude
• Willingness to work evenings/weekends as required (with TOIL)

Nice to Have

• Experience with live events, exhibitions or installations
• Familiarity with Linux, scripting, microcontrollers, or embedded systems
• Soldering or basic electronics repair skills

Note: If you don’t have all of these but are keen to learn, we still want to hear from you.

Benefits

• Hours vary depending on projects and events
• Evening and weekend work required at times
• TOIL system to ensure fair balance
• 25 days holiday + 1 extra day per year of service (up to 28)
• Pension: 5% employee / 3% employer contribution
• Healthcare Cash Plan (up to £640 per year)
• Employee Assistance Programme & 24-hour GP access
• Personal Accident Insurance up to £20,000

How to Apply

Please email your CV (cover letter optional) to [e-mail].

We value practical experience, curiosity and problem-solving as much as formal qualifications.
