- Maintain clear communication with venue stakeholders
Standards & Compliance
- Follow company policies, health & safety regulations and venue procedures
- Maintain accurate reporting, documentation and daily handovers
- Ensure workspaces, control rooms and storage areas remain organised
What We’re Looking For
- Strong experience with vMix, streaming workflows and PTZ camera systems (BirdDog desirable)
- Proven background delivering live and hybrid events
- Confident troubleshooting AV systems in a live environment
- Ability to lead projects and support other technicians
- Organised, proactive and client-focused
