Launch Your Career in Technology
Visualization is experiencing significant growth and we're looking for 6 ambitious individuals to join the next intake of our highly successful Digital Applications Technician (DAT) Development Programme in August/September 2026.
This is far more than a trainee role.
Over a structured 24-month development programme, you'll gain hands-on experience across professional Audio Visual (AV), LED display technology, technical services, installation, commissioning and system integration, building the skills required for a long-term career in a rapidly growing technology sector.
Many of our senior engineers started their careers through this programme and have progressed into specialist and leadership positions within the business.
What You'll Learn
As a DAT, you'll receive structured training and practical experience in:
- AV Installation & Integration
- Rack Building & System Wiring
- LED Display Technology
- Commissioning & Testing
- Service & Maintenance
- Technical Fault Finding
- Warehouse & Logistics Operations
- Health & Safety Best Practice
- Customer Service & Professional Communication
Initially, you'll be based from our Maidenhead facility learning the fundamentals of the industry. As your confidence and capability develop, you'll progress onto customer sites throughout the UK and potentially internationally as part of the wider VUE AV Group.
Who This Role Could Suit
We're not looking exclusively for people with AV experience.
This opportunity could be ideal for:
- Electrical installation trainees
- IT support technicians
- Telecoms engineers
- Security or CCTV installers
- Stage and events technicians
- Military leavers
- Individuals with practical hands-on skills and a passion for technology
Technical aptitude, attitude and willingness to learn are far more important than previous AV experience.
Career Development:
Our DAT Programme is designed to fast-track individuals into skilled technical careers.
Each DAT receives a tailored development plan with regular reviews and clearly defined development milestones. As skills, responsibilities, and competencies increase, salary progression is linked to successful completion of each stage of the programme.
The programme starts with a salary of £26,500 and provides a structured pathway to £32,000+ within 24 months, subject to performance and successful achievement of development objectives.
As your experience develops, opportunities may arise to progress into specialist roles such as:
- Installation Engineer
- Commissioning Engineer
- Service Engineer
- LED Specialist
- CAD Design Engineer
- Technical Pre-Sales Engineer
- Project Manager
Each DAT receives a tailored development plan with ongoing internal and external training.
