From Premier League football and major sporting championships to entertainment shows, reality TV and international productions, our engineers work with some of the most advanced audio technology in the industry to help bring live content to millions of viewers.

We’re looking for enthusiastic and technically curious Audio Assistants (Sound) to join our Engineering team and start building a career in broadcast sound.

• Work alongside Engineering, Operations, Logistics and Production teams
• Maintain accurate equipment records and support technical documentation
• Learn and apply best practice in broadcast engineering, health and safety and live production

As your confidence and skills develop, you’ll take on more responsibility and become increasingly involved in the technical delivery of productions.
