AV Technical Manager

AV Technical Manager

Hertfordshire

£40,000 – £47,500

Full time | Permanent | Technical / Events / AV / Engineering

I am working with a seriously impressive technical production business who are looking for a Technical Prep Manager to join their team, and this is exactly the kind of role where ex-military candidates tend to thrive.

If you’ve come from the forces and moved into engineering, technical, IT, signals, comms, AV, events, or anything hands-on where organisation and responsibility matter, this could be a brilliant fit. Would be suitable for

Royal Sigs, RAF, CIS, REME electronics or avionics folks.

This is a fast-paced, practical role where you’ll be leading from the front, making sure equipment is prepped, built, tested and ready to go for live projects, installs and events. It needs someone who is methodical, calm under pressure and comfortable taking ownership — all the things I see time and time again in ex-military candidates.

The role involves:

Managing prep, servicing and maintenance of technical equipment

Overseeing rack builds, system configuration and setup

Working closely with project managers and technicians

Supervising and supporting junior team members

Managing firmware updates / system setup

Reviewing schematics and suggesting improvements

Keeping prep procedures and documentation up to date

Supporting warehouse / technical operations when needed

Making sure everything is tested, labelled and ready to go

Maintaining safe working practices at all times

✅ Ideal background:

Technical / AV / IT / Signals / Engineering / Broadcast / Network / Events

Experience with racks, hardware, wiring, or system builds

Good understanding of networks / signal flow / equipment setup

Previous supervisory or team lead experience helpful

Comfortable in a hands-on, fast moving environment

What’s on offer:

£40,000 – £47,500 salary

Monday – Friday

Strong team culture

Excellent working environment

Proper career opportunity

Exciting technical projects

I love working roles like this because the skillset coming out of the military fits perfectly reliability, discipline, problem solving and getting the job done without drama.
