Audio Visual Specialist
Description
Position at DNEG
About the role
Our Technology team keeps the infrastructure of a busy, creative visual effects studio running smoothly. We're looking for an experienced AV Specialist to take ownership of our AV infrastructure, ensuring our spaces are well-equipped, well-maintained, and ready for whatever the business throws at them.
You'll be the go-to person for all things AV — from designing and building high-quality rooms to supporting day-to-day troubleshooting. The role involves working closely with internal teams including Colour Science and Heads of Departments. This is a fully onsite role based at our London office, and you'll be expected to be present and hands-on as the business requires.
What you'll be doing
- Taking ownership of the AV infrastructure and keeping spaces in excellent working order
- Building and commissioning high-quality AV environments
- Delivering technical training to staff across the business
- Liaising with production shows on their AV requirements
- Supporting onsite meetings and multimedia activities
- Researching and recommending emerging AV technologies
What we're looking for
- Strong, hands-on knowledge of audio-visual systems
- Experience building and commissioning professional AV spaces
- Familiarity with projector technologies, including Barco
- At least a basic working knowledge of Q-SYS
- Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
- Strong communication and documentation ability
- Good time management and ability to juggle competing priorities
Nice to have
- Experience with JIRA
- Electrical or carpentry skills
- Comfortable across Mac, Windows, and Linux environments
- Familiarity with LED volumes — no prior experience required but a background in this area would be a bonus
About you
You're self-motivated, detail-oriented, and take pride in the quality of your work. You're comfortable working independently but know when to collaborate. You thrive in a fast-moving environment and have a genuine passion for AV technology done properly.
