What is a post production engineer?

Post Production Engineers are technical professionals who manage and maintain the equipment and software used in the editing, mixing, and finishing stages of film, television, and other media projects. They ensure that audio and video workflows run smoothly, troubleshoot technical issues, and support creative teams with the delivery of high-quality final products. Their responsibilities include configuring editing suites, maintaining storage networks, and ensuring that all post-production tools function optimally.

How does a post production engineer typically collaborate with editors and other creative team members during a project?

A Post Production Engineer works closely with editors, colorists, sound designers, and visual effects artists to ensure smooth technical workflows throughout the post-production process. They are responsible for setting up and maintaining editing suites, troubleshooting software or hardware issues, and ensuring all files are correctly formatted and compatible. Collaboration often involves frequent communication to address technical challenges, optimize workflow efficiency, and support the creative vision of the team. Being proactive and adaptable is key, as priorities can shift quickly in response to production needs.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a post production engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Post Production Engineer, you need a solid background in audio and video editing, signal flow, and broadcast standards, often supported by a degree in audio engineering or a related field. Proficiency with industry-standard software such as Avid Pro Tools, Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, and familiarity with hardware like mixing consoles and storage systems is essential. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help you collaborate with creative teams and troubleshoot technical issues. These skills ensure the delivery of high-quality content and seamless post-production workflows in demanding media environments.

What is the difference between Post Production Engineer vs Video Editor?

AspectPost Production EngineerVideo Editor
CredentialsBachelor's degree in film, media, or related field; technical certificationsTypically a degree or diploma in film, media, or related area; strong editing skills
Work EnvironmentStudio, post-production facilities, or on-location setups involving technical equipmentEditing suites, workstations, or on-location editing setups
Industry UsageUsed in broadcasting, film, and media production companies with technical rolesCommonly used in media houses, freelance work, and content creation

While both roles are involved in post-production, a Post Production Engineer focuses on the technical aspects of editing, color correction, and equipment setup, ensuring smooth workflow and technical quality. A Video Editor primarily handles the creative editing process, assembling footage to tell a story. Understanding these differences helps clarify career paths and job expectations in media production.

We're looking for a Broadcast Production Engineer to support our REMI facilities, mobile units, and client sites nationwide.

This role travels extensively to support live news, sports, and entertainment broadcasts as Engineer in Charge (EIC), keeping mission-critical equipment running and issues resolved fast.

We're looking for someone who wants to be part of a team engineering broadcast-grade infrastructure from the ground up.

Essential Functions

•    Handle integration and upgrade projects of varying scale.
•    Read and interpret broadcast engineering AutoCAD drawings.
•    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.
  • Ability to troubleshoot technical issues efficiently across a range of broadcast equipment and AV systems.
  • Expertise in videography, filming techniques, content creation, and video production workflows.
  • Familiarity with signal processing techniques and audio engineering principles for high-quality sound output.

•    Comfortable terminating, labeling, and testing video, audio, control, and network cabling to industry standards.
•    Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to make sound decisions under live-event pressure.
