  • High-impact work supporting premium live sports rights holders

  • Owning delivery of engineering projects end-to-end
  • Leading technical workflows across broadcast + IT infrastructure
  • Making key decisions on equipment selection, design, and procurement
  • Delivering Broadcast IP network projects (SMPTE 2022 / 2110 / NMOS)
  • Managing documentation including timelines, schematics, workflows, cable schedules
  • Supporting facility upgrades, migrations, and expansion projects
  • Line managing engineers and developing technical capability across the team
  • Acting as a consultative lead on new business pitches, RFPs, and growth projects
  • Driving reliability, service quality, and engineering excellence
