AV Technician

From before the Romans to present day ravers, we tell the story of London and Londoners. There has never been a better day to join our team of AV technicians as we bring these stories to the public in the galleries of our new London Museum in Smithfield and of the London Museum in Docklands

This role would suit someone who has experience in managing audio visual hardware and software and is keen to deliver an unforgettable and exceptional experience to the millions of visitors the London Museum will welcome.

We’re looking for skilled, creative, and motivated AV professionals that can support the management and development of AV technology across the museum galleries and deliver events at our two sites. The successful candidates will be working on a weekly 5-day rota that will regularly include weekends and evenings.

There are two AV Technician roles available:

• AV Technician (Galleries and Exhibitions): responsible for the audiovisual elements of our permanent galleries, contribute to the installation of temporary exhibitions and displays.
• AV Technician (Events): responsible for supporting the delivery of events for external clients, for internal departments, and for the museum Creative Programme.

Occasionally, both roles will be called upon to support the other in the delivery of their specific responsibilities.

Previous experience of working in a museum is not required and you do not need to have any academic qualifications, although they would definitely be valued elements of your CV, but we are looking for someone who has experience of working in public AV environments like conferences, theatres, cinemas, and similar, and is capable of setting up, maintaining and troubleshoot AV equipment.
