We’re recruiting: IT / AV Technician Role

Due to continued growth, we are looking for a Northwest based IT / AV Technician to join our small, friendly team.

 

Role: Installation & commissioning of video wall and display systems:

This is primarily a hands-on installation role involving the installation, commissioning and testing of video wall systems throughout the UK and overseas when required.

Work includes:

• Installation of LCD and LED display systems
• Installation of video wall controllers, AV equipment and associated hardware
• Mounting displays, server equipment in 19” racks and associated ancillary hardware
• Cable installation and cable management
• Configuration of Windows-based systems, networking and control software
• Testing and commissioning complete customer systems

 

Service/Support

Providing technical support via telephone, email and remote access, together with attending customer sites to diagnose and resolve system faults. Carrying out preventative maintenance visits as part of customer maintenance agreements.

 

Video Wall Controller Assembly & Test

Assisting with the assembly and testing of our video wall controller systems at our Burnley facility. This includes mechanical assembly, internal wiring, Windows installation, software configuration and system testing. Full product training will be provided.

 

Pre-sales technical support:

Assistance as required during client demonstrations at customer sites or at our demonstration rooms. Also assisting on technical queries relating to client enquiries or a project tender.

 

Project management of awarded contracts:

Carrying out pre-installation site surveys, producing installation reports and liaising with customers, contractors and the wider UVS team throughout project delivery.

 

Requirements:

• Experience carrying out AV, IT or electrical installations at customer sites. Similar field adjacent roles would be considered.
• Comfortable using power tools and carrying out practical installation work including mounting equipment, cable routing and working at height where required.
• Good practical understanding of Windows, PC hardware and networking.
• Experience configuring TCP/IP networks, switches and Windows operating systems.
• Experience with AV over IP, video wall systems or IP video streams would be advantageous.
• Comfortable fault finding across mechanical, electrical, networking and software elements of a system.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a small team.
• Willingness to travel throughout the UK with occasional overnight stays. Overseas travel may occasionally be required, this would generally be for a few days.

• Technical qualification or apprenticeship in IT, AV or Electronics desirable.
• Full UK driving licence required, clean preferred.

 

The role will be based out of our Burnley HQ, with work required as stated above at both our HQ location and client sites throughout the UK and beyond. It is expected that that the onsite vs office based split approximately 75% onsite based.

Although the role covers IT, networking, software and hardware, this is fundamentally a practical, customer-facing engineering position. A significant proportion of your time will be spent installing, commissioning and maintaining systems on customer sites, so we’re looking for someone who enjoys hands-on work as much as technical problem solving.

 

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Overtime opportunities
• Car allowance
• Company mobile phone (personal use permitted)
• Company laptop
• Company credit card and expenses
• Ongoing technical training and development
• Opportunity to join a growing UK manufacturer working on exciting projects nationwide
