Salary: $58,000
Start Date: ASAP
As a Broadcast Solutions Technician, you will be working as part of a growing and dynamic team to deliver cutting-edge broadcast technology to some of the country’s largest broadcasters.
The role will be based in our offices in Atlanta, with your main responsibilities being to successfully manage the integration of our technology with our broadcast partners (hardware and software), to ensure the seamless delivery of our services and products at various events. You will be part of a team that incorporates the host broadcasters onsite as well as remote operators in various locations throughout the US. You will need to be prepared to work long days at weekends and midweek evenings, as we work whenever sport happens.
Although the role will be based in Atlanta, you will be expected to travel to events as required to support ongoing deliveries as well as commissioning systems for new projects. As you gain experience in the role, you will be expected to support demonstrations and POCs at events showcasing the product for new clients. Given these responsibilities, we are looking for someone who can be confident in these situations and clearly communicate with customers.
Experience in the broadcast world would be highly favourable, particularly within any replay roles in the industry. If you have a good general technical knowledge, then we can provide you with the training to make you a success in this role.
We will equip you with the technical training, support and full exposure to our systems to perform your day-to-day tasks, but also encourage development and progression to help make an impact on what we do.
