AV Technician

The Events team focus on delivering the highest levels of guest satisfaction through service and value for money for both our corporate and leisure events. We offer a themed and seasonal programme of entertainment for our guests, conferences and seminars for external clients and internal corporate and social events for our colleagues. 

AV Technician | £13.02 per hour 

If you’re great with people and have experience of working with lighting and sound systems for live events and production, or maybe within a corporate events capacity, then this job is for you.

On a day-to-day basis, this is a typical AV Technician role whereby you’ll look after all audio-visual matters for our corporate events and internal requirements. This will include the installation of AV and other equipment, as well as providing production support to ensure clients receive a first class, right first-time service. Additionally, you’ll be working with internal teams and external contractors to ensure our equipment is maintained and operates optimally.

However, you won’t be behind the scenes all the time. In fact, you will have the opportunity to engage directly with clients, conducting site visits and showcasing our facilities to prospective clients. In these instances, your comprehensive understanding of AV technology will enable you to quickly grasp their requirements and offer additional equipment and services to enhance their productions and events.

HOURS OF WORK

You will be contracted to work 150 hours per 4-week period on a flexible basis. This means that your days and hours of work could vary each week, but you will always receive at least your contracted hours each period.

As our village is open 365 days of the year, your working hours will include evenings, weekends, public / bank holidays and during Christmas and / or New Year on a rota basis.

• Excellent communication skills, with a naturally cheerful disposition and a customer-focused approach
