The Role

They are seeking a technically skilled LED Screen Installation Engineer with at least 2 years of hands-on professional LED installation experience.

This is an office-based role, with daily attendance required when you are not working on-site. Regular international travel is expected, typically once or twice a month, mainly across Europe and the United States, although you may be required to travel to other destinations. Overseas assignments generally last 5-7 days, with longer stays less common. Flexibility is essential, as travel arrangements may change at short notice.

• Work alongside project managers, engineers, contractors and other members of the technical team
• Supervise installation teams or subcontractors where appropriate to experience
• Ensure projects are completed safely, professionally and within agreed deadlines
• Maintain tools, equipment and spare parts
• Travel internationally, sometimes at short notice, and work away from home as project requirements dictate
• Represent our client professionally when working with customers in the UK and overseas

Requirements

• Minimum 2 years' hands-on professional experience installing and maintaining LED screens
• Strong practical experience with NovaStar LED control systems, including NovaLCT software, processor configuration, receiving-card setup, screen mapping and fault diagnosis
• Willingness to learn Mooncell systems if not already experienced with them
• Strong understanding of LED display technology, pixel pitch, resolution, refresh rates and cabinet configurations
• Experience with indoor and outdoor LED displays
• Ability to configure LED screens from initial setup through to testing and commissioning
• Strong fault-finding skills covering LED modules, receiving cards, power supplies, data connections and signal processing
• Good knowledge of LED power distribution, CAT6 networking and video signal connections
• Ability to interpret technical drawings and wiring diagrams and make independent technical decisions on-site
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Strong communication skills and a professional approach to customer service
• Full UK driving licence
• Valid passport and eligibility to obtain necessary visas and work authorisations
