We don’t sit back and wait for the future to happen, we are out there crafting our own path through new technology, innovation, and investment. We are truly a challenger brand, with challenger spirit. We are looking for skilled Media Operations Engineers to join our team and play a crucial role in the operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of our newly built broadcast operation control facilities. The engineer will ensure the flawless operation of streaming, live production, and related systems while contributing to the expansion and development of these capabilities as Optus Sport grows. Working closely with our other Operational & Engineering teams, you will help maintain high service delivery for match fixtures and support industry-leading uptime figures, primarily focusing on our European-based leagues. This role involves shift-based work to align with live broadcast schedules, including weekend and overnight coverage. As the broadcast operation control facilities develop the role will initially involve close collaboration with the project team during the facility setup and testing phase during business hours but as systems are implemented and workflows transition, the role will shift to a more standard operationally focused roster.
