Job Description
AV Project Manager
Our client lives and breathes AV technology. It is just part of our DNA. We are deeply passionate about designing and integrating the best, most reliable technology for our customers. To further improve our process and customer experience, we are currently seeking an experienced AV Project Manager to join our team.
As an AV Project Manager, you will lead the delivery of best-in-class audiovisual systems to our nationwide network of customers. Reporting to the Audiovisual Operations Manager, you will collaborate with various internal and external stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget.
This role will primarily focus on new build or major refurbishment projects. The ideal candidate will have a strong technical background in AV technologies, a proven track record in AV Project Management, and a passion for delivering innovative AV solutions. This role requires close collaboration with our Engineering, Support, and Design teams and third-party stakeholders to support our delivery of best-in-class solutions. You will need to have the ability to be hands-on and the drive to deliver important life events – the show must go on!
About us
We are the UK’s market leader in audio-visual services for ‘once-in-a-lifetime events’ (weddings, funerals, citizenship ceremonies). We do not simply follow the market; we are innovators and disruptors. The work you do will have a positive impact on thousands of people daily and millions of people each year. We have a head office in Sheffield and a satellite office in London, but our customers are spread across the UK.
We are not fans of all that corporate jargon you might hear from other businesses. We are down to earth, we are human, and we are passionate about putting our customers first (all companies say that, but we really do it).
Our friendly team of 150 are our most important customers. We care about having a positive, friendly, and engaging workplace, as that is the key to delivering great customer service. People love working here, and we have the independent survey results to prove it - we are officially one of the ‘Best Companies’ in the UK to work for! It might be because of the flexibility we offer in terms of how and where we work, or the genuinely fun and supportive environment we have built in our dog-friendly office (complete with top-of-the-range coffee machine), or the great service we deliver that gives them all such a buzz. We want you to bring your buzz to us too.
This is a business that is doing really well, but it goes beyond that; it is about making absolutely sure things go right, first time, every time. This passion is driven from the top down by James, our MD (who hates titles and is just simply ‘James’) and the leadership team who make sure that brilliant customer service is at the heart of everything we do. When you meet us, you will see what we mean.
It is so important that we are the right fit for each other, so we will share as much as you want to know about us while we are getting to know you too.

Work closely with clients, main contractors & consultants to agree clear project timelines and milestones.
