Full Time
Broadcast Technical Supervisor
Role Overview
We're looking for a Broadcast Technical Supervisor to join our growing technical team and support CineArk's expansion into the broadcast and live production sector. The role is primarily office-based at our Wooburn Green HQ, but as this is a new and evolving service line, the level of on-site work required may vary and is currently hard to predict.
This position is ideal for someone deeply passionate about broadcast technology, who thrives on problem-solving and enjoys staying on the cutting edge of industry innovation. You'll need a broad technical foundation spanning RF systems, IP-based signal flow, vision and colour workflows, and modern audio protocols.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the design, setup, and testing of RF and IP-based transmission and monitoring systems for live production environments.
- Interpret and assist in building complex signal flow diagrams, integrating both baseband (e.g. SDI) and IP infrastructure.
- Provide remote and on-site technical support for live deployments as needed.
- Collaborate with engineers and clients to troubleshoot and resolve issues quickly and effectively.
- Maintain quality control across audio, video, and transmission workflows, including colour pipelines (e.g. log formats, HDR).
- Assist with internal system maintenance and workflow documentation.
- Stay current with emerging technologies and standards (e.g. SMPTE ST 2110, AES67, NMOS, Dante, Dolby Vision).
- Participate in R&D and attend trade shows to support CineArk's technical evolution.
- Contribute to workflow development for remote and hybrid productions.
- Support sound workflows where relevant, including RF coordination and Bolero comms system integration.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in a live broadcast, RF engineering, or technical broadcast role (studio or field-based).
- Hands-on experience with wireless video transmission systems, including RF camera links, COFDM systems, and frequency coordination.
- Understanding of IP-based media infrastructure, including ST 2110, AES67, PTP, and VLANs.
- Awareness of colour workflows (e.g. Log gamma, LUTs, HDR, SDR, Dolby Vision).
- Familiarity with Dante audio networking and NMOS device control standards.
- Exposure to remote production or distributed workflow setups.
- Comfortable interpreting and troubleshooting complex signal flows across baseband and IP layers.
- Awareness of vision mixing systems and broadcast audio/video QC standards.
- Problem-solver with a proactive mindset and strong communication skills.
- Willingness to travel occasionally and work flexibly to support live deployments.
Desirable but not essential
- Knowledge of sound guarantee workflows and Bolero systems.
- Experience with vision shading, waveform/vectorscope operation, or multiview monitoring.
Working Conditions
- Full-time role based at CineArk HQ in Wooburn Green.
- 40 hours per week, Monday – Friday.
- While primarily office-based, some travel and on-site support will be required depending on project needs.
- 25 days annual leave plus UK bank holidays.
Perks and Benefits
- Employee assistance program.
- Employee of the month award.
- 2 unpaid days annually for volunteering.
- Regular staff socials and celebrations.
- Company Discount Program
