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
