Support Technician - Fine Art Digital Studios

The Opportunity
We’re looking for a skilled and motivated Support Technician to help shape the future of fine art at our Digital Studios, combining technical work with exciting creative collaboration.

This is a hands-on role working across photography, video, and sound editing, using industry-standard hardware and software to help bring ambitious projects to life. You’ll work side-by-side with our Technical Team to keep the studios running smoothly, maintaining and repairing equipment, ensuring health and safety compliance, and supporting day-to-day operations.

You’ll be directly involved in guiding students through every stage of their work, from first concept to final delivery, offering expert advice on techniques, processes, materials, and equipment. Alongside this, you’ll help create and maintain online learning resources, organise and distribute programme assets, and produce clear, practical guidelines to ensure their effective use.

About You
To excel in this role, you will bring proven expertise in photography, video, and sound editing, with strong skills in Adobe Premiere and Adobe Audition, and an understanding of codecs and formats such as MP4, MOV, H264, WAV, and ProRes 422.

You should have experience managing complete workflows with an awareness of timescales, and ideally, practical abilities in setting up video or photo shoots using DSLR cameras, sound, and lighting. Knowledge of current display technologies would be an advantage. We are looking for someone who is a strong team player but also capable of working independently, with the ability to communicate complex information clearly and concisely.

This is a fantastic 13-month, fixed-term opportunity to contribute to a creative, collaborative environment at the forefront of fine art digital practice.
