About the role: We are seeking a technically proficient and highly adaptable Multi-Skilled Operator to join our Broadcast Operations Team. In this role, you will be an integral part of getting programs to air — supporting the production and delivery of news content, both live and tape, within a fast-paced studio and control room environment. The ideal candidate brings hands-on technical expertise across multiple broadcast disciplines, with particular emphasis on video playout systems, which are central to our day-to-day broadcast operations.
Responsibilities:
· Set up and operate technical broadcast equipment safely as directed, including cameras, video playout systems, video mixers, graphics systems, lighting, and sound equipment to support all production requirements.
· Monitor and manage video playout operations during live and pre-recorded broadcasts, ensuring seamless on-air delivery and adherence to rundown schedules.
· Report technical issues — including playout system faults, signal failures, or equipment malfunctions — to the engineering team in a timely manner to minimize on-air impact.
· Dress IFBs, mic guests, and manage guest traffic on and off set as needed.
· Collaborate cross-functionally with producers, directors, and engineering teams to ensure seamless program execution.
· Perform other duties as assigned by management.
Candidate requirements:
· Knowledge of video playout systems is a must — direct experience with broadcast playout platforms, automation systems, or media asset management in a live news or network environment is required.
· Previous experience in a multi-skilled technical operations role in local news or at a network level.
· Solid working knowledge of production workflows and broadcast equipment including cameras, sound, video mixing, lighting, and graphics.
· Strong communication skills — ability to communicate quickly, clearly, and effectively in a high-pressure environment.
· Proven ability to work under pressure, multi-task, and meet tight deadlines both independently and as part of a team.
· Ability to proactively identify problems and offer solutions.
· Enthusiastic, self-motivated, and able to thrive in a multicultural and multilingual environment.
· Ability to work on weekends and/or holidays as assigned.
Preferred:
· Knowledge of news and current affairs.
· Experience with automation and digital rundown systems.
