AV Technician
Permanent
Full-time
London
£28,500 per annum

The Royal Air Force Museum is a national museum, a Government non-departmental public body (NDPB) and a registered charity, with two sister sites at London and Midlands. Our purpose is to share the RAF story, past, present and future - using the stories of its people and our collections in order to engage, inform and inspire. Our Vision is to inspire everyone with the RAF story – the people who shape it and its place in our lives.

We have two public sites (London and Midlands) and a stored collection (Stafford). Our trading company and active fundraising supplement Grant in Aid which comes through the Ministry of Defence.

The Royal Air Force Museum is a Carbon Literate organisation and as such promotes Carbon Literacy.

The Royal Air Force Museum is seeking an Audiovisual Technician with experience in Stage Lighting and Rigging to work with the Event Technician, to use our in-house equipment, for the Commercial and Public Events programs.

As AV Technician you will be, primarily, focused on supporting events, by looking after the lighting equipment in the Museum's event spaces, which include a 220-seat lecture theatre, iconic Lancaster bomber and the Sunderland Flying Boat. Although the main focus will be lighting, we are looking for a candidate who also has some Sound and Video experience, so that they can manage and run events by themselves when the Event Technician is unavailable.

When not required to host events, the successful candidate will work on AV-related projects to assist numerous departments across the Museum. This will include AV for meeting rooms, repairing the digital gallery interactives, and running AV and network cables.

The role is based at our London site, with occasional travel to our Midlands site for event support, with evening and weekend work when required. The successful candidate will need to be able to work at heights and use equipment such as MEWPS and Forklift truck (training will be provided if the candidate does not hold a valid license.)
  Required Skills / Qualifications
• Experience of working within AV, particularly events lighting.
• Experience with Rigging (permanent and temporary).
• Experience with sound equipment.
• Good level of general education, including GCSE English and maths, or equivalent.
• Experience with dealing with internal and external stakeholders.
• Computer literate, with knowledge of Microsoft packages.
• Ability to work at heights.
