AV Systems Programmer

Job Description

Te mahi | The role

Join a team that’s pushing the boundaries of audio visual engineering. As part of Enterprise Digital Support, you’ll help design, build and support the technology that underpins learning and teaching across the University. We work fast, solve complex problems, and develop AV functionality that goes beyond what current platforms offer, including gearing up for a major next generation AV rollout that will shape our environment for years to come.

Our ideal candidate can step confidently into real-time system programming and integrated AV environments, with strong hands on experience in QSC Q Sys and familiarity with Crestron SIMPL. You’ll enjoy turning complex technical requirements into reliable, elegant solutions.

In this role you’ll be designing, configuring, programming and deploying AV and room-automation systems, troubleshooting complex integrated environments, contributing specialist technical advice and leading small AV delivery projects from design through to commissioning – this role really does do it all.
