This is a full-time permanent position, based in the field of your designated region. We welcome all applications from those with the legal right to live and work permanently in the UK, without requiring VISA sponsorship now or in the future.
Overview
At Fifty5Blue, we help BARB (Broadcasting Audience Research Board) measure what people across the UK are watching on TV. We’re looking for a hands-on, tech-savvy Field IT & AV Technical Specialist who enjoys solving problems, meeting people and working out in the field. In this role, you’ll visit panel members in their homes to install and support our TV metering equipment and software, bringing together your knowledge of audio-visual setups, home networks, devices and great customer service. It’s a varied role where no two homes are quite the same, and your work will directly support the accurate collection of important TV audience data.
Key Responsibilities
- Visit panel members in their homes to install, configure, maintain and remove our TV metering equipment and software across TVs, routers, streaming devices and other connected entertainment systems.
- Get stuck into a wide range of A/V setups, mapping and managing routing profiles across HDMI, SCART, RGB and Composite connections.
- Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues across A/V routing, broadband, home networking and software configuration on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android devices.
- Help panel members feel confident using the equipment by explaining things clearly, patiently and in a friendly way.
- Plan and manage your own daily schedule, appointments, travel and field admin, keeping accurate records of visits, technical activity, mileage and outcomes.
- Look after equipment and stock responsibly, making sure everything is tracked, stored safely and returned promptly when needed.
- Keep your company vehicle clean, organised and ready for the road while travelling across your region to support panel households
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
