In a move that underscores the growing demand for expertise in audio-visual and theatre production, a leading company in the industry is seeking a Technical Sales Consultant. This role is designed for professionals with a robust background in audio-visual system design, theatre production, or live event technical operations. The position offers an opportunity to leverage industry knowledge to craft creative solutions and build long-term client relationships.
For over three decades, the company has been a trusted supplier and installer of professional lighting, audio-visual, staging, and curtain systems across various sectors, including theatres, schools, entertainment venues, and commercial sites. The new role aims to transform technical expertise into practical, client-focused solutions, reinforcing the company’s reputation as a leader in the AV industry.
Role and Responsibilities
The Technical Sales Consultant will be tasked with designing and proposing AV and performance space solutions. This includes everything from system layouts and product recommendations to detailed project quotes and proposals. A significant part of the role involves conducting site visits to assess requirements, measure spaces, and create tailored technical solutions.
Building and maintaining relationships is also crucial, as the consultant will work with existing clients while developing new opportunities through trust and expertise. This is not a cold-calling position; instead, it focuses on deepening client relationships through collaboration and effective communication.
Project Management and Client Support
Leading projects from planning through to installation, training, and client handover is another key responsibility. The consultant will collaborate with stakeholders, including clients, suppliers, builders, and venue managers, to deliver effective solutions. Post-installation, providing technical support and follow-up training ensures long-term client success.
$75,000 – $85,000 per year
Qualifications and Skills
The ideal candidate will have proven experience in theatre, live production, or commercial AV system design. A strong understanding of professional audio, lighting, video, and control systems is essential, with knowledge of Q-Sys, Crestron, or AMX being highly regarded. The ability to read and interpret plans, conduct site measurements, and create integrated solutions is also required.
Excellent quoting, proposal writing, and documentation skills are necessary, alongside proficiency in Excel, Word, and Microsoft Office Suite. Experience with CRM systems is an advantage. Strong interpersonal skills are crucial for communicating technical ideas clearly to clients and colleagues, as well as organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple projects.
Why This Role Stands Out
Joining this well-established and industry-respected company offers numerous benefits. Employees become part of a small, collaborative team where their expertise is valued. The role provides stability, work-life balance, and opportunities for growth, alongside a competitive salary package with training and ongoing development.
For those who are passionate about theatre, events, and the “behind the scenes” magic that makes them possible, this role represents a unique opportunity to combine technical skills, creative problem-solving, and client relationship building.
