Located in the fastest-growing region of the state, the University of North Georgia is a multi-campus university with an enrollment of over 20,000 students, making it one of the largest institutions in the University System of Georgia. UNG is focused on a mission of educational excellence, leadership development and community engagement opportunities that develop students into leaders for a diverse and global society.

Through a variety of educational pathways that provide access and range from certificates and associate degrees to a professional doctoral program, UNG is responsive to regional education and economic development needs. Federally designated as a senior military college, one of the university's signature leadership programs is its 800-member Corps of Cadets on UNG's Dahlonega Campus.

The University of North Georgia is currently accepting applications for a Film Production Manager & Technical Supervisor on the Gainesville campus. The position is based on the Gainesville campus, specifically in the Film & Digital Media and Nesbitt buildings occupied by the School of Communication, Film & Theatre. Primary responsibilities are to manage student film productions, maintain all film and video production facilities and equipment, and supervise the student employees who staff the equipment storage room and fulfill check-in/check-out requests.

This position is responsible for ensuring both student and faculty productions comply with the university's legal and risk management policies and the CFT Film Production Manual. The school is willing to fund advanced training and certifications for this position, but a thorough understanding of the film, television, and media production process and the equipment used therein as well as a willingness to pursue additional training and education are mandatory qualifications.

Please be advised that any offer of employment is contingent upon your eligibility to work in the United States. The university is aware of recent federal changes that may significantly increase the cost of filing H-1B visa petitions.

As a public institution, the university’s ability to cover such costs is subject to budgetary constraints and state funding policies. Therefore, while we remain committed to supporting international faculty hires, we cannot guarantee payment of any newly imposed or increased visa-related fees.

If you have any questions regarding the visa policy, please contact Monica Arrendale at .
