You’ll manage end-to-end technical delivery for events and sport presentation, contribute to system design and implementation, support on-air operators, and oversee maintenance and troubleshooting.

Working closely with production, you'll translate event requirements into the right crew, equipment and technical specifications, and at times liaise directly with clients.

You’ll maintain KOJO’s vision, audio, comms, content and control systems, prepare production equipment for events, and act as the lead technical operator on event days.

The role suits someone with strong planning and documentation skills, excellent fault-finding ability, and a hands-on approach. A passion for emerging broadcast and in-stadia technology is essential.

KOJO works nationally and internationally across technical consulting, production suite builds, venue and mobile broadcast facilities, comms systems, virtual production, livestreaming, corporate AV, content production, AR/VR and digital integration.

You’ll bring advanced broadcast technology skills, including experience with networking, IP video, broadcast systems, and ideally contribution and distribution compression technology.

You will manage the maintenance of a full range of broadcast production systems, including, but not limited to:

• SMPTE and RF Camera Chains
• SDI vision switchers and routers
• Mediornet and Dante signal transport systems
• Comms systems
• Audio systems, including digital consoles, wireless mics, IEM systems, on-field foldback, and PA
• Network-based system integration and control
• Hub production facilities
• Virtual production systems

This position is well suited for someone with proven audio-visual and/or broadcast technical management experience and requires:

• Experience with Outside Broadcast and/or LIve Event Production
• Knowledge of NRL, Rugby, Football, Cricket, AFL, Basketball, Netball, Golf and the broadcast coverage of sport
• Knowledge of protocols around international sporting events
• Experience in rostering, logistics and use of asset management software
• Ability to communicate with multiple stakeholders (OB, Venue, Match Officials, Clients, Suppliers) involved with sport and broadcast production
• Risk management skills and a high level of planning & documentation skills
• An interest in keeping up with the latest advancements in broadcast, IP and in-stadia technology.
• Experience in managing on-site technical staff (both internal and freelance crew) for event delivery.

Sports production moves fast, so your deliverables will vary by client and event. You’ll need to juggle multiple priorities, meet tight deadlines, and maintain high quality under pressure. Out-of-hours work, weekends, and national travel are part of the role.

You’ll confidently communicate and present KOJO’s technical capabilities to a wide range of stakeholders - from internal teams to client executives and on-ground delivery crews - while building strong client relationships and positioning KOJO as a trusted technical and production partner.

You’ll also be a clear, positive communicator within KOJO, helping teams understand and leverage our technical capabilities.
