Want to put your technical skills at the heart of live sport?

Based in Brisbane and working across South East Queensland, you'll be part of the team bringing live racing to audiences across Australia.

• Support connectivity between remote venues and broadcast operations
• Provide hands-on technical support and guidance to operators
• Work alongside production and technical teams to keep live broadcasts running smoothly

What you'll bring

You're technically capable, calm under pressure and enjoy solving problems in a live production environment. Ideally, you'll possess:

• Experience in outside broadcast, live television or a similar live production environment
• Strong knowledge of broadcast systems, signal flow and networking
• Experience troubleshooting technical equipment in live environments
• Familiarity with broadcast technology such as Ross, Panasonic or EVS
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• A commitment to safety, quality and operational excellence

Don't tick every box? If you have strong live broadcast fundamentals and experience with similar broadcast technology, we'd still encourage you to apply.
