AV Technology Engineer

Are you an AV technologist looking for a role in a collaborative higher education environment which is investing in innovative office and classroom technology?

Birkbeck, University of London, is seeking an AV Technology Engineer to join us this Summer.

Birkbeck has invested in developing new teaching spaces, and upgrading our existing spaces, to enhance the student experience. In addition, office space has been rationalised into a number of agile workspace hubs, with meeting rooms and hot desks.

As AV Technology Engineer , you will ensure teaching staff can easily operate the classroom technology and all staff can utilise agile workspaces with minimal support.

You will also work with the AV Technology to ensure new and upgraded teaching workspaces are fit for purpose, including the specification, design, planning and management of third party installers/integrators to undertake quality AV installations across all Birkbeck buildings. You, and the team, will also be responsible for the maintenance and emergency repair of installed equipment.

You will work with Room Bookings and IT/AV teams to provide user support for commercial hire and external events as needed, and provide third line support for the IT/AV team on all aspects of AV technology, including creating and arranging training sessions, handling fault escalations, and dealing with third party suppliers to effect resolution.

You will also document technical issues, incident reports and maintain a snagging list – as well as identifying opportunities for development and continuous service improvement.
