Job description

Your mission

At

Your mission

At The Storytelling Company (TSC), we design and deliver immersive, story-driven experiences that bring together brand, culture, and technology. Our work spans AV/IT systems, interactive environments, digital signage, executive briefing centres, customer experience centres, and extended reality installations. We partner with leading international brands to create environments that connect people to stories in meaningful and memorable ways.

Do you enjoy solving technical problems? Have you built AV systems for theatres, live events, museums or experience centres? Would you like to travel across Europe supporting immersive installations for some of the world's biggest brands? At TSC, we work in a collaborative, fast-moving environment where initiative, ownership, and clear communication are key.

As anAV Field Support Engineer, you play a critical role in maintaining and supporting TSC's installed systems at client locations across Europe and occasionally beyond. You provide hands-on troubleshooting (corrective maintenance), preventive maintenance, system inspections, and on-site technical support when issues cannot be resolved remotely. Acting as the physical extension of our support team, you help ensure that client environments remain operational, reliable, and aligned with TSC's quality standards. You'll work closely with colleagues across Delivery, Engineering, Product, and Customer Experience teams to help ensure our installations continue to perform long after handover.

This is a client-facing role that requires frequent travel, strong communication skills, and the ability to work independently in dynamic environments. You are comfortable diagnosing technical issues on-site, coordinating with remote specialists, and providing clear updates to both clients and internal stakeholders.

You bring a practical mindset, a structured approach to problem-solving, and a genuine desire to help clients succeed.

No two projects are the same. One week you may be troubleshooting a customer experience centre, the next supporting an immersive exhibition or executive briefing centre elsewhere in Europe.

Responsibilities

On-Site Support & Troubleshooting (corrective maintenance)

• Perform on-site troubleshooting and incident resolution for AV and IT-related systems.
• Respond to support cases requiring local intervention and ensure timely resolution.
• Diagnose hardware, software, networking, and AV system issues in the field.
• Act as the "eyes and hands" of remote support teams during investigations and escalations.

Preventive Maintenance & System Health

• Conduct preventive maintenance visits and system health checks.
• Verify system performance and identify potential issues before they impact operations.
• Recommend corrective actions, upgrades, or preventive measures where appropriate.
• Ensure installed systems continue to operate according to design specifications.

Documentation & Support Operations

• Document activities, findings, and resolutions within support and ticketing systems.
• Maintain accurate records of site visits, maintenance activities, and system changes.
• Support knowledge sharing and contribute to improvements in support documentation.

Client & Stakeholder Communication

• Serve as an on-site representative of The Storytelling Company.
• Communicate clearly and professionally with client stakeholders.
• Manage expectations and provide timely updates throughout support activities.
• Escalate issues appropriately and coordinate with Product, Delivery, and Engineering teams.

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Work closely with internal support, engineering, and delivery teams.
• Help identify recurring issues and opportunities for process improvement.
• Contribute to the continuous development of TSC's support standards and service delivery practices.

• Solid understanding of Windows environments, networking fundamentals, and AV hardware.

Communication & Client Interaction

About Us

The Storytelling Company is more than 180 people across Amsterdam, Zwaag, Berlin, Munich, and Charlotte.

We bring strategy, design, and technology together into experiences people can walk into, for global clients wherever they and their audiences are. A brand's experience center. A maritime simulator, accurate down to the last real parameter. An opera, an exhibition, a pop-up that wasn't there yesterday. Original worlds made to travel from one city to the next. Different scales, different briefs, one question underneath each of them: what does it feel like when this truly lands?

We work in close partnership with our clients and treat every project with the same care, for the people it reaches, the brands behind it, and the world around it. From the first idea to the last farewell note.

If any of that sounds like your kind of place, we'd like to meet you.
