systems, including playout servers, automation, routing and on-air monitoring\nMonitor on-air output and respond quickly to playout, signal or automation faults\nSchedule maintenance windows around the program schedule so updates never affect air\nKeep master control documentation, procedures and change logs current\nTroubleshooting\nDiagnose and resolve signal, network and equipment faults quickly and methodically, often during live air\nEscalate clearly and early: notify the Lead Engineer of on-air issues while working the fix, with details to follow\nDocument root causes and fixes so

roles and train to work on BMG projects\nWho we're looking for\nSelf-starter:you see what needs doing and do it without waiting to be told, then report back\nTroubleshooter:you stay calm under live pressure, isolate problems step by step, and own them to resolution\nEfficiency-minded:you look for the faster, more reliable way and aren't satisfied with \"that's how we've always done it\"\nAI-curious:you already use tools like ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot, or are eager to learn how they can help engineering work\nClear communicator:you keep your lead and production informed in real time, in plain language\nQualifications\nRequired\n1-3 years in broadcast engineering, live production, or a related technical role (or equivalent training)\nWorking knowledge of video and audio
