• Working understanding of IP addressing, VLANs, QoS, PoE and relevant multicast concepts.

• Basic knowledge of Dante networked audio, HDBaseT and professional AV transport technologies is desirable.

• Ability to distinguish between faults in AV hardware, networking, Windows/MTR compute, cloud services, accounts, licensing, USB or peripherals.

• Strong systematic troubleshooting skills, with the ability to restore service first and complete root-cause analysis afterwards.

• Experience managing incidents through ServiceNow or a comparable IT service management platform.

Communication & Customer Support

• Ability to explain technical issues clearly, adapt detail to the audience and provide concise, actionable updates.

• Comfortable working under time pressure while maintaining sound judgement and a calm, customer-focused approach.

• Professional written and spoken English suitable for global engineering, support and business teams.

Personal Attributes

• Accountable and able to own technical issues from initial diagnosis through restoration, escalation and closure.

• Calm, methodical and decisive during live incidents and mission-critical meetings or events.

• Confident supporting Microsoft Teams and Zoom meetings, with a practical, service-focused approach to online event management.

• Curious and committed to keeping knowledge current across collaboration, AV, video, networking and workplace technologies.

• Confident making recommendations while comfortable acknowledging knowledge gaps and engaging specialists.

• Collaborative and non-territorial, with a willingness to help outside an immediate speciality when capable.

• A clear communicator who listens carefully before proposing solutions.

• Organised, reliable and detail-oriented, with a commitment to documentation, standards and knowledge transfer.

• Respectful and constructively challenging, able to question assumptions without undermining colleagues or customers.

• Comfortable working independently on site while remaining connected to a geographically distributed global team.

• Focused on service reliability, user experience and practical outcomes.

Desired Overall Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate will be a strong technical generalist spanning Microsoft Teams Rooms, professional AV, video collaboration, online events and Microsoft collaboration technologies, rather than exclusively an AV technician or exclusively a Microsoft Teams or Unified Communications administrator.

They do not need expert-level knowledge of every technology. More important is the breadth to understand how technologies interact, isolate the likely problem domain, communicate effectively, recognise the limits of their expertise and engage the right resources when necessary.

Hands-on meeting-room experience, strong troubleshooting instincts, calm decision-making, effective communication, customer focus and the ability to contribute at an experienced engineering level within a collaborative global team are essential.

Desirable Qualifications & Vendor Experience

• Relevant Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365, networking, telephony or AV certifications.

• Vendor training or certification from organisations such as Logitech, Biamp, Q-SYS, Crestron, Shure, Zoom or Dante/Audinate.

• Experience in a large enterprise with a globally distributed meeting-room, video, voice or collaboration estate.

• Experience working with AV integrators, telecom providers, managed service partners and equipment manufacturers.
