Junior Broadcast Technician (Live Events)
gassProductions, Westerham, Kent TN16
Full time, permanent. £32,000 to £34,000 a year plus paid overtime.
ABOUT GASSPRODUCTIONS
We film live events for Sony, Adobe, Google, AWS and the Premier League: conferences, awards shows, product launches and multi-camera broadcasts at venues across London and the UK. We have been doing it for over 20 years from our base in Westerham, Kent, with a small team that takes real pride in broadcast-quality work.
THE ROLE
This is a paid, full-time route into live event video for someone who wants to learn all of it rather than one seat. You will rotate across our four core disciplines: camera operation, vision mixing, live streaming and video editing. Come strong in one; we will train the rest. Recent graduates from live production courses like Ravensbourne, Solent or the Academy of Live Technology are especially welcome, as is anyone self-taught with work to show.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Rig, cable and de-rig camera systems on live events (Sony FX-series, Blackmagic URSA Broadcast)
- Operate second-camera and PTZ positions, then your own as your confidence builds
- Assist in the gallery: ATEM vision mixing, record checks, return feeds, talkback
- Build and run live streams; cut highlights and social clips between show days
- Prep and test kit at our Westerham warehouse using Current RMS (training provided, but prior experience will be given priority and is reflected in the rate)
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Essential:
- Genuine appetite for more than one of the four disciplines, shown in anything you have made
- Full UK driving licence and your own transport (TN16, not reachable by public transport)
- Right to work in the UK
- Fit for the physical side: flight cases, cable runs, long days
- Reliable, punctual, detail-minded and quick to learn
You do not need a degree, professional credits or years of experience.
Highly desirable (these move you up the range):
- A grounding in at least one discipline: camera, editing, streaming or vision mixing
- A relevant course behind you: live event production, broadcast or esports production
- Familiarity with inventory or rental software such as Current RMS: prioritised and reflected in the rate
WHAT WE OFFER
- £32,000 to £34,000 depending on what you already bring
- Paid overtime beyond standard show-day hours, clocked and paid at your hourly rate
- 28 days' holiday including bank holidays
- Workplace pension
- Comprehensive private healthcare for the employee
- Free on-site parking
- Opportunity for on-site training and learning across the equipment we own and use to deliver our production services
- Initial 3-month probationary period with a formal review and written objectives from day one
CAREER PROGRESSION AND DEVELOPMENT
This seat exists to grow a multiskilled operator. The people running our shows all work across disciplines: it is how gass works, and it is the path this role is on. We put you on real shows early: that is how you learn this job.
SCHEDULE AND PRACTICALITIES
Office days run 9am to 5pm at Westerham. Show days run to 10 hours as standard, longer around big events, and overtime is paid. Expect earlies, lates and some weekends, mostly around London, sometimes wider UK. Live events are not a 9-to-5 industry and we are honest about that, and equally serious about proper rest after heavy runs.
HOW TO APPLY
Apply through Indeed with your CV and links to anything you have made: showreel, student projects, streams, edits. Your work counts for more than your CV. Tell us which discipline you know best, any Current RMS experience, when you could start, and confirm your full UK driving licence and own transport. We review applications on a rolling basis, so apply early.
