Provide technical support during Live broadcasts and special events, including Radio OB’s (Sporting, Award Ceremonies and Music Events for example).
Maintain detailed documentation of system configurations, incidents, and resolutions.
We have broadcast vehicles with technical equipment fitted, and you will need to maintain them and perform quarterly checks to ensure their safe operation.
There will be times when you are required to support building issues and consult with our Facilities Management partner.
