TOC Network Engineer
Live Sports Broadcast | London | £60,000
We're hiring a TOC Network Engineer to join a live broadcast operations team - a genuine growth opportunity with a global broadcast and media production company at the top of its game. If you thrive under pressure, love the buzz of live transmission, and want your work watched by millions every weekend, this is for you.
Why this role
- Work on tier-1 live sport - You'll be directly involved in delivering matchday broadcasts
- Be part of a global sports and media powerhouse: operating at the heart of the world's biggest live sports and entertainment broadcasts
- Exposure to industry-leading technology and a network of world-class broadcast professionals.
- No overnight shifts - Weekend-focused, matchday-based hours, no on-call responsibilities.
The Role
As a TOC Network Engineer, you'll coordinate and manage the technical delivery of live sports transmissions, from check-in and configuration through to live monitoring. This is a proactive role, not a purely reactive one: you'll be turning up and verifying services ahead of transmission as much as troubleshooting on the fly.
