You’ll work closely with Sales, Purchasing and Marketing, bringing technical insight into commercial decision-making and helping turn market opportunities into successful products.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys getting into the detail, finding solutions and seeing an idea become a finished product.

• Working collaboratively with Sales, Marketing and Purchasing to align technical development with customer and market requirements.
• Providing technical product training and knowledge to internal teams and external partners.
• Keeping up to date with emerging technologies, industry trends and competitor products.
• Helping maintain a competitive and forward-thinking product portfolio.
• Building strong relationships with manufacturers and development partners to drive product quality and continuous improvement.

• A proven technical background within the event, entertainment or professional AV industry.
• Hands-on experience in product development, engineering, technical operations or a related discipline.
• A strong understanding of one or more relevant areas, such as electronics, mechanical design, software integration, materials or product engineering.
• Experience working within live events, production, theatre, broadcasting, installation or other technical environments.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a practical approach to finding solutions.
• Strong project management and organisational skills.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively across different teams.
• A proactive, detail-focused mindset and a genuine passion for technology and innovation.
• Most importantly, you’ll be someone who asks questions, gets hands-on, spots opportunities and wants to make things better.

• Competitive salary, commensurate with experience and skills.
• 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday.
• Permanent position, following successful completion of probation.
• 24 days, bank holidays (normally 8) and then your birthday off after the first year.
• Company pension scheme.
• Company staff engagement days.
• Free on-site parking.
• Ongoing opportunities for training, development and career progression.
• The opportunity to work with an exciting portfolio of professional products and technologies.

This isn’t simply a role in product development. It’s an opportunity to help shape the products that power the event industry. You’ll work on a diverse range of products, collaborate with experienced industry professionals and have the freedom to bring your ideas and technical expertise to the table.

As part of a growing, family-owned business, you’ll have the opportunity to make a visible impact, influencing products, improving customer experiences and helping drive the next stage of our growth.
