Kinly is a leading integrator of audio-visual and unified communications solutions, and the largest in Europe, serving as a globally trusted technology advisor to leading organisations.

The AV/UC Support Engineer is a frontline role on Kinly's global Service Desk, resolving hardware, software, and network issues across managed audio-visual and unified communications (UC) environments.
