Broadcast Engineer

Christy Media Solutions is working with a client to recruit two Broadcast Engineers to join an engineering team supporting busy live studio, transmission and post-production facilities.

These are hands-on engineering opportunities for individuals who enjoy investigating technical challenges, finding solutions and working across a broad range of broadcast systems.

Our client is particularly interested in engineers who can demonstrate strong troubleshooting and fault-finding ability, rather than experience limited to a particular piece of equipment or technical discipline.

With a major technology transformation planned, successful candidates will also have the opportunity to undertake significant training and upskilling as new broadcast infrastructure is introduced.

The Role

Working as part of the core engineering team, you will:

• Provide proactive technical support and maintenance across live studios, transmission and post-production facilities.

• Investigate, diagnose and resolve faults across different broadcast systems and workflows.

• Support live studio operations and respond effectively to technical issues in time-critical environments.

• Work closely with Lead Engineers and other technical teams to deliver effective solutions.

• Communicate with clients and internal colleagues, providing clear technical updates and explanations.

• Contribute to engineering developments, technical projects and ongoing improvements.

• Maintain the technical documentation and paperwork required for efficient operations.

What We're Looking For

Our client is looking for engineers who can demonstrate:

• Strong practical fault-finding skills and the ability to independently investigate and resolve technical issues.

• A broad understanding of broadcast engineering, including studio, transmission and post-production workflows.

• Familiarity with live broadcast or production environments.

• Confidence working across multiple technical areas, even where you are not a subject-matter expert.

• A proactive attitude, strong communication skills and the ability to remain calm under pressure.

• Enthusiasm for learning new technologies and adapting to changing technical environments.

• The ability to explain real examples of technical faults you have personally diagnosed and resolved.

A strong background in a particular area, such as post-production or EVS, is welcome, provided you are comfortable supporting the wider broadcast operation.

Desirable Technical Experience

Exposure to any of the following would be advantageous:

• SMPTE ST 2110 and IP-based broadcast infrastructure

• Grass Valley AMPP

• AWS and cloud-based technologies

• Broadcast networking, AES67 or NMOS

• Traditional SDI broadcast systems

• Live sports or news production environments

You do not need to be an expert in every technology listed. Practical engineering fundamentals, troubleshooting ability and a willingness to learn are key priorities.

Two Opportunities Available

Experienced Broadcast Engineer

This position requires an engineer with substantial hands-on experience, broad technical knowledge and the confidence to troubleshoot and resolve issues independently across multiple broadcast disciplines.

Broadcast Engineer / Junior Opportunity

Our client is also open to considering a more junior or graduate-level engineer for the second position, provided they demonstrate strong technical aptitude, problem-solving ability, enthusiasm and a genuine willingness to develop.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Work across live studios, transmission and post-production facilities.

• Gain broad exposure to different broadcast technologies and workflows.

• Join a team preparing for a major technology transformation in 2028.

• Benefit from significant training and upskilling opportunities as new systems are introduced.

• Work alongside experienced broadcast engineering colleagues.

• Free on-site parking.

Working Arrangements

The role is working a rotating shift pattern.

Current shifts include:

• 7am–7pm

• 10am–10pm

• 12pm–12am

The contract includes seven 12-hour shifts per fortnight, with weekend working expected. There is currently no regular overnight shift, although project-related night work may be required and future shift arrangements may change.

Interested?

If you're a Broadcast Engineer who enjoys technical problem-solving, wants to develop broader engineering skills and is excited by the prospect of learning new broadcast technologies, we'd be keen to hear from you.
