Role summary
Pixel Artworks are looking to expand the capacity of our Technical Production department to support our clients, maintain completed projects to the highest standards and support internal project teams. This is a new role being created with hands-on training, office, warehouse and on-site works. The support technician will eventually be able to work independently on our helpdesk and at client sites, with the skills to carry out field servicing, troubleshooting and end-user training.
With such a broad range of specialist skills required we are expecting to have to fill a few gaps in knowledge. Applicants can expect an initial focus on learning and mentorship. As a result, we welcome applications from people new to the AV industry with a hunger to learn about the technology we use.
This is a customer-facing role, in person and via email/telephone – the Production Support Technician will need to have a customer-service focus, representing Pixel Artworks in a calm, confident and professional manner at all times.
Training on use of video mapping, lighting, audio and show control systems will be an integral part of this position. The role is based in our Farringdon office but requires regular travelling to sites around the UK and overseas.
