Specialist Technician (AV & Live Events)

The opportunity 

Are you an experienced Audio Visual (AV) Technician looking for new challenges in a creative environment? Are you interested in a role which combines developing and maintaining classroom AV with the excitement of planning and delivering successful live events? 

We have created a new role at the Creative Computing Institute (CCI) at UAL for a multiskilled AV operative, putting you in charge of your planning, workload, and scheduling, whilst offering an exciting opportunity for career development.

As a Specialist Technician (AV & Live Events), you will support teaching and learning activities with classroom AV and take charge of organising, planning, and running AV for an exciting range of events that take place across CCI, including exhibitions, conferences, concerts, exhibitions, hosted meetups, open days, staff meetings and workshops.

About you

You are an experienced, motivated, and skilled individual with a passion for AV and achieving excellent outcomes in your work. Able to work proactively, you will be keen to apply your expertise to a variety of AV scenarios from conferences and exhibitions to concerts and performances.

Excited by the chance to develop your skill set in an educational environment, you will work closely with, and be supported by our experienced technical team, to deliver a seamless classroom AV experience and high-quality live events.

For teaching and learning AV support, you will need to have experience of working with AV control systems such as Crestron and Q-Sys, Teams Rooms (e.g. Yealink) and AVoIP protocols (e.g. Dante and NDI). To support live events effectively, you will need previous experience of technical setup and operation for conferences, concerts, exhibitions, or other live AV events, including health and safety, risk assessments, rigging, front-of-house, recording, and live streaming.

As you grow into the role, you will be looking forward to having the opportunity to advise on and guide the future direction of AV provision within the institute.
