- The Opportunity
This is an exciting opportunity to join a professional display services company to carry out a wide range of technical duties including installation, commissioning and ongoing maintenance of Electronic display equipment.
Equipment types are predominantly LED and TFT displays from 21 inch diagonal up to and including large scale LED installations over 100 square
metres in size. Including the display(s) media players, communications and system control equipment.
The displays they install and maintain are deployed across sports venues, retail, workspace, transportation, hospitality, roadside and education
environments.
Their technicians enjoy the variety that comes with their role; on any given day they could be working on a display in a bustling retail environment, in a
corporate headquarters, by the roadside, at an iconic digital installation or providing event support at a prestigious sporting location.
For example their maintained sites include Harrods, Barclays, Alight Media, Piccadilly Lights and Wembley Stadium.
They provide display hardware, electrical, data, and structure installation, modular level repair field service, commissioning, event support and
preventative maintenance. They also carry out complete display structure manufacturing, repairs and
display refurbishment at their Head office.
