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.
