Job Description
Our client is seeking an AV Engineer to support their team of expert installation and service engineers. You will be responsible for ensuring adherence to high standards of engineering work. This is a field-based role, primarily covering Chester, Manchester, and the wider North West, with regular national travel as required by projects. To support you, a company van is provided, fully equipped to help you hit the ground running.
