The Opportunity:
As a Broadcast Television Technician at Seven, you will play a vital role in providing technical support to some of Australia’s most iconic programs including News, Sunrise, The Morning Show, and The Daily Edition, from our Launceston, Tasmania studios.
This hands-on role supports all studio, Field/ENG, and broadcast infrastructure—including Master Control, Editing, Ingest, Graphics, and Disaster Recovery. You'll handle repairs, maintenance, and troubleshooting of video, audio, and broadcast IT systems, keeping everything running smoothly. There’s also the chance to get stuck into project work, from planning to implementing new or upgraded systems.
You will be working with the Broadcast Support Team, 7iT, and various internal stakeholders across studio, field, and post-production environments.
Responsibilities will include:
- Repair, maintain, and support all broadcast and IT systems to ensure high uptime and reliability across all facilities.
- Apply strong diagnostic skills to identify, analyse, and resolve technical issues, including hardware faults and software bugs, often liaising with vendors for resolution.
- Provide proactive, customer-focused support to production teams, ensure clear communication during handovers, and collaborate closely with colleagues and stakeholders.
- Administer broadcast IT systems, manage user accounts, monitor equipment for faults, maintain backups, and ensure system capacity and performance are adequate.
- Participate in the planning and implementation of technical projects, manage changes effectively, and keep technical documentation and drawings up to date.
- Monitor stock levels, manage spare parts, maintain asset registers, and coordinate equipment requisition and installation to prescribed standards.
- Adhere to workplace safety and company policies, report risks or critical incidents promptly, and maintain professional conduct including reliability and punctuality.
About You:
You are an experienced Broadcast Television Technician with exceptional interpersonal communication skills, a technically savvy, proactive, and solutions-focused technician who is passionate about broadcasting and keeping Australia informed and entertained.
You will have:
- Solid knowledge of television technology, electronics, IP networking, and system tools (e.g. iNews, Quantel, Grass Valley, Imagine Communications), with experience in Windows/Linux administration and scripting.
- Clear verbal and written communication, logical problem-solving ability, and composure under pressure.
- Previous experience in broadcast engineering, IT support, or production operations, with relevant qualifications and hands-on installation or maintenance expertise.
- Demonstrated ability to work effectively within a team and maintain a strong focus on customer service and operational support.
- One or more areas of expert-level knowledge such as IP streaming, RF technology, database/network engineering, or component-level repair.
