Frequently Asked Questions
What experience do I need for this CV/AV Technician role in Leeds LS9?
We are looking for candidates with at least 2 years of proven, hands-on experience in a similar AV technician role. This should include setting up and operating equipment like sound desks, video switchers, projectors, and microphones in a live environment (corporate events, conferences, theatre, etc.). Familiarity with signal flow, basic troubleshooting, and working under pressure is essential. While formal qualifications are a plus, demonstrable practical experience is paramount.
How quickly can I start if I'm successful?
This is an immediate start requirement. Our process is designed for speed. Once you apply, our consultant will aim to contact you within a few hours. If your experience is a strong match, we can fast-track your registration (including compliance checks) and arrange an interview with the Leeds-based client within 1-2 days. For candidates who are immediately available and pass the interview, a start within the same week is highly possible.
Is this a temporary role only, or is there a permanent possibility?
The initial assignment is on a temporary basis to cover a specific project and ongoing event schedule. However, our client has a strong track record of converting temporary staff to permanent contracts based on performance, reliability, and team fit. We actively encourage and facilitate this temp-to-perm pathway for candidates who excel in the role and wish to build a long-term career with the client. Your Temping Agency consultant will discuss this potential with you throughout your assignment.
What shift patterns and hours are typically involved?
Shifts are entirely event-driven, which means they are flexible and variable. You must be available to work early mornings for event rigging, late evenings for breakdowns after conferences, and full days during events. Weekend and bank holiday work is common in this industry. A typical shift can range from 8 to 12 hours. The client provides schedules in advance where possible. This flexibility is ideal for those seeking variety and who thrive in a non-9-to-5 environment.
