Up to £31,699
Permanent / Full Time
IET London: Savoy Place
At the IET, making our world a better place starts by creating a better place for our people.
At the IET you’ll have more than just a job. Our work is exciting and challenging, connecting the people who solve the problems that matter. It means working with us has real meaning and impact, and you’ll grow – professionally and personally – in ways you never thought possible.
We’re also making significant investments in our people, including providing a modern, vibrant workplace and embracing hybrid working.
What you'll be doing
As our Audio Visual Apprentice, you’ll support the delivery of high-quality AV and production services across a wide range of events – from meetings and conferences to live and hybrid experiences.
Working alongside our AV Technicians, you’ll get hands-on experience setting up, operating and de-rigging equipment. This could include microphones, sound desks, video conferencing systems and digital displays, helping to ensure everything runs smoothly on the day.
You’ll also support live events, assisting with sound, basic mixing and technical setup, while learning how different elements come together to create a professional event experience.
Alongside the practical side, you’ll build your knowledge through a Level 5 Audiovisual Technician apprenticeship. You’ll develop your skills in AV technology, production and event delivery, while gaining real experience in a busy, professional environment.
Day to day, you’ll help check and maintain equipment, support meeting rooms, and work with teams across the organisation to deliver filming, streaming and technical event requirements.
It’s a varied, hands-on role where you’ll learn by doing, supported by an experienced team.
What we hope you can bring to the role
We’re looking for someone who is genuinely interested in audiovisual technology and keen to start a career in this area.
You don’t need loads of experience, but you should be curious, hands-on and willing to learn. An interest in areas like sound, lighting, video, IT or live events would be a great starting point.
You’ll be someone who enjoys working as part of a team, but who can also take responsibility for your own tasks. Being reliable, organised and calm under pressure will help you succeed, especially when supporting live events.
Good communication skills are important too, as you’ll be working with colleagues and clients, helping to create a positive experience for everyone involved.
Most importantly, you’ll bring a proactive attitude and a willingness to learn – making the most of both the practical experience and the apprenticeship programme.
