•    Work independently or as part of a team on integration projects - equipment commissioning, training, and planned system upgrades.
•    Perform equipment maintenance as needed, including outside normal business hours.
•    Terminate, label, and test video, audio, control, and network wiring against wire lists and drawings.
•    Apply approved broadcast installation standards and wire equipment to BMG's quality and neatness standards.
•    Contribute ideas for improving systems and workflows.
•    Interact daily with clients on-site, delivering the BMG experience.
•    Work closely with producers and help manage crew on show days.
•    Pack and unpack the production truck with your Crew.
•    Build shows from the ground up - router configuration, signal flow troubleshooting, and translating show requirements into working solutions with the technical team.
•    Coordinate and set up transmission for assigned shows.
•    Maintain a positive, collaborative working relationship with co-workers, supervisors, clients, and vendors.
•    Mentor and train crew and less experienced team members.
•    Take end-to-end ownership of large-scale events, overseeing the production crew.

Skills & Experience

  • 5 years of experience in broadcast engineering, live production, or mobile/remote broadcast operations.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer or similar editing platforms.
  • Extensive experience operating recording studio equipment and live sound engineering setups.
  • Strong knowledge of audio systems, sound reinforcement systems operation, and event audio equipment operation.
  • Skilled in digital audio workstation (DAW) software for music mixing, post-production editing, and sound design.
