We’re looking for a technically skilled and service-driven professional to join our IT Department as an A/V Technician.

Reporting to the IT Manager, the A/V Technician will be responsible for setting up, operating, and maintaining audio-visual and presentation systems used throughout the hotel’s meeting spaces, ballrooms, and event venues.

• Troubleshoot technical issues promptly during events to ensure uninterrupted service.
• Liaise with clients and internal departments to understand event-specific technical requirements.
• Maintain proper inventory of equipment and manage asset tracking.
• Support IT functions during low event activity, as directed by the IT Manager.
  
  

What we need from you:

• 1–2 years of experience in A/V operations, preferably in hospitality, events, or IT environments.
• Solid understanding of sound systems, projectors, LED displays, mixers, video conferencing systems, and basic networking.
