Are you a Broadcast or AV tech who loves the thrill of live event production? Are you a Sports nut? We’re looking for a Technical Specialist to join our close-knit team based in Wellington, New Zealand, for an immediate start.
About the role
KOJO’s technical team is located across New Zealand and Australia, and together with this newly created role, covers a broad range of services for our clients including temporary production facilities at sporting venues, mobile broadcast facilities, live streaming, technical planning, virtual production, content production, AR/VR and integration with digital platforms.
This role will oversee and manage the technical requirements related to sports presentation for match-day events, primarily at Wellington’s SKY Stadium (with potential for other events throughout Wellington, other areas of New Zealand and/or Australia). The role includes the management of the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the existing audio-visual equipment and infrastructure in the stadium’s production suites, as well as KOJO’s broader equipment assets.
As is the nature of sports production, the role requirements change depending on the client and event. This is a client-facing role and requires clear communication. This role also allows you the opportunity to work in a variety of roles including, but not limited to, Technical Director, Technical Assistant, CCU Operator, and AV Systems Engineer.
We are open to this role being full time, part time, permanent or contract. It’s available for immediate start.
Due to the nature of work in this role, the working hours can typically include weekends and public holidays and may require domestic travel to meet the operational requirements of this role. Our schedules remain flexible and transparent so working hours are managed on a rolling basis with rostered days off pending timings of events and stadium requirements.
About you
You must have prior experience operating audio visual equipment in a live event production environment, ideally in Sports Presentation or Live Event Production.
You should have experience and an interest in various audio and video technologies such as vision switchers, video routers, live replay systems, live graphics systems, audio mixers and other audio equipment. A basic understanding of event comms and IT network systems is preferable but optional.
It is important that you can apply problem-solving skills to production challenges and have careful attention to detail. A passion for learning new technology and systems is a must.
We value team members who can handle multiple priorities, meet tight deadlines and work under pressure without compromising quality and whilst keeping a sense of humour.
You thrive in a team environment, with a diversity of people, and you’re able to work independently. You also LOVE Sport, since you’ll see a LOT of it!
