Job description

Love tennis? Get behind the scenes of the tech that tracks every shot.

Behind every line call is a network of cameras, cables, and people making sure it all works. Before the tournament starts, you'll be out on court helping install that system. Once play begins, you'll move into our on-site operations room, monitoring live player and ball tracking as the matches unfold.

If you've ever wanted a way into sports tech, this is your chance to get behind the scenes of elite tennis.

About Bolt6

We're building the future of sport. Bolt6 is a sports technology company at the forefront of visual innovation, from real-time tracking and data overlays to immersive broadcast graphics and AR experiences. We work across tennis, golf, motorsport, volleyball and more, partnering with rights holders and broadcasters to change how sport is seen, understood, and enjoyed.

What you'll be doing

You'll join our crew to install and operate our Electronic Line Calling system at the Adelaide International.

• Build the network behind the court. Run fibre, CAT6, and power cables around the venue, routed safely, neatly, and ready for match days.
• Rig the cameras that call the lines. Mount and secure cameras in precise positions, set up supporting equipment, and fine-tune everything for perfect coverage.
• Keep the show running. Troubleshoot on the fly, work alongside technicians, operators, and event staff, and help keep the system performing from first serve to championship point.
• Pack it down like a pro. Help safely dismantle, maintain, and pack equipment once the event wraps.
• Put safety first. Keep cables, kit, and work areas hazard-free for players, crew, and fans.

You're a great fit if you…

• Are based in Adelaide, or are able to arrange your own accommodation and transport there.
• Love tennis, or live sport in general, and want to be part of the action.
• Are a strong communicator and a genuine team player.
• Enjoy physical, hands-on work and can safely handle equipment.
• Are comfortable working at heights, including on ladders and catwalks.
• Stay calm and practical when a problem needs solving quickly.
• Can be flexible around event schedules, including early starts, late finishes, and weekends.

Bonus points (but not essential)

• Experience rigging at sports events, live broadcasts, concerts, or other live events.
• Knowledge of camera rigging, mounting solutions, or related hardware.
• Understanding of safe practices for rigging, cable management, and working at height.
• Experience with fibre optic or network cabling.

Attitude, reliability, and a willingness to learn matter to us as much as experience.
