Are you an LED, Video or Live Events Technician looking to develop your career with a growing technical production business?

We’re recruiting for a Junior LED / Video Technician to join an established team based in Upminster. This is an excellent opportunity for someone in the early stages of their technical career who already has some hands‑on experience with LED screens, video systems or live event production and wants to continue developing their skills.

You’ll be involved across both warehouse preparation and on‑site delivery, supporting the preparation, installation, operation and de‑rig of LED and video equipment for a variety of projects.

The Role

Working alongside experienced technicians, your responsibilities will include:

• Preparing, testing and checking LED and video equipment ahead of projects
• Assisting with the build and de‑rig of LED video walls
• Handling and connecting LED panels, data cabling and power
• Supporting video system setup, signal distribution and routing
• Loading and unloading equipment for projects
• Installing and commissioning equipment on‑site
• Fault‑finding and basic technical troubleshooting
• Maintaining equipment and ensuring it remains show‑ready
• Supporting technicians during live events and installations
• Working across a mixture of warehouse and on‑site environments

What We're Looking For

We’re particularly interested in candidates who have gained experience within:

• Live events or technical production
• Video equipment and systems
• Digital signage
• Production warehouses

You should have a good understanding of working safely within technical environments and be comfortable with the physical aspects of equipment preparation, installations, build days and de‑rigs.

• Previous hands‑on experience with LED, video, AV or live event equipment
• Good practical and technical aptitude
• Confident working both in a warehouse and on‑site
• Reliable and comfortable working as part of a technical team
• Flexible towards working hours when projects require it
• Full UK driving licence

Any exposure to the following would be advantageous:

LED Video Walls | LED Panels | Video Systems | Digital Signage | Signal Routing | Video Playback | Data & Power Cabling | Projection | Networking | Live Events | Exhibitions | AV Equipment

What's on Offer?

This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants to build a long‑term career specifically within LED and video technology, rather than moving into a general AV position.

You’ll have the opportunity to work alongside experienced technicians, develop your technical knowledge and gain further exposure to increasingly complex LED and video projects.
