The objective of this role is to ensure that the various AV spaces, the studio, the auditorium, and the event spaces are maintained across the campus; the equipment is maintained within optimal working condition, and end users (where applicable) are conversant with the equipment they are using – all with the outcome to ensure Diversified provides an exceptional level of service to our clients.
