About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and technically proficient Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to lead our technology strategy, engineering operations, and technical project delivery.

• Ensure technical solutions are scalable, commercially viable and suitable for the company's operational requirements.
• Maintain technical relationships with manufacturers, technology partners, system integrators and specialist suppliers.

B. Engineering Management

• Support and supervise the Engineering Manager in overseeing the Company's engineering activities, including system design, integration, installation, configuration, testing, maintenance and troubleshooting. Provide technical guidance, training and knowledge transfer to junior engineers and operational personnel.
• Establish engineering reporting systems, procedures and protocols for the Engineering Department, including preventive measures, fault reporting, maintenance, testing and quality-control procedures.

C. Hands-On Broadcast Engineering and Technical Support

• Design, configure, integrate and troubleshoot broadcast production systems.
• Support remote production and streaming workflows.
• Provide technical support for onsite and remote productions during installation, rehearsals, testing and live events.
• Troubleshoot critical technical failures and coordinate support with equipment manufacturers when required.

D. Project Management and Delivery

• Take responsibility for the technical planning and successful delivery of assigned projects.
• Prepare project technical scopes, implementation plans, schedules, equipment requirements and resource allocations.
• Coordinate with clients, production teams, engineers, suppliers, logistics providers and subcontractors.
• Ensure technical deliverables are completed in accordance with agreed project requirements, timelines and budgets.
• Identify project risks, technical dependencies and potential delivery delays.

E. Client, Supplier and Stakeholder Management

• Act as the Company's senior technical representative when dealing with clients, production partners and technology suppliers.
• Participate in technical discussions, project planning meetings and system design reviews.
• Ensure client technical requirements are clearly understood and communicated to the engineering team.
• Manage technical escalations and coordinate the timely resolution of client concerns.

Professional Experience (Minimum 8 Years)

• Experience in managing technical projects, engineering teams and broadcast operations.
• Strong understanding of traditional broadcast and modern IP-based production workflows.
