What you’ll be doing
As a Broadcast Engineer, you'll play a key role in delivering high-quality live, hybrid and recorded events for the IET. You'll be responsible for ensuring the technical quality, reliability and smooth delivery of broadcasts across both in-house and off-site locations.
Working closely with colleagues, clients and third-party suppliers, you'll support events from planning through to delivery. You'll set up, operate and maintain a range of broadcast and AV equipment, ensuring all technical elements work together seamlessly and that clients receive a professional, high-quality service.
You'll manage audio, video and streaming workflows during live events, monitor broadcast quality and quickly resolve any technical issues that arise. Whether supporting a small webinar or a large-scale hybrid conference, you'll help ensure every event runs smoothly and delivers an exceptional audience experience.
A key part of the role is working with a variety of stakeholders. You'll build strong relationships with clients, understanding their requirements and translating them into effective technical solutions.

Just as importantly, you'll be a strong communicator who enjoys working with clients, colleagues and external partners to deliver successful events. You'll bring a proactive approach, a commitment to continuous improvement and the flexibility to travel and work outside normal hours when required to support live productions.
