We are looking for a Senior Operations Engineer on a 12-month contract (or internal Attachment) to support Broadcast technology and systems used by our BBC Local production colleagues in the South East.

Perform scheduled and reactive maintenance on broadcast infrastructure to ensure optimal performance.
Collaborate with Systems Specialists and regional teams to implement system upgrades and new technology deployments.
Respond to and resolve operational incidents swiftly to minimize broadcast disruptions.
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.

DESIRED CRITERIA:

Knowledge of key aspects of post-production, long and short form editing systems, visual effects and graphics, sound design and mixing
Working knowledge of Windows and Mac based systems and software
