Project Engineer - IT Specialist
ITN is seeking a project engineer to work in our award-winning Technology team at ITN. You will be process-driven and responsible for the delivery of project scoping, research, system designs, implementation, documentation and successful handovers of any projects allocated to you or the wider team.
You will also be expected to work with system suppliers to ensure that our systems are kept up-to-date and follow best practice guidelines. This will include responsibility for planning any necessary updates and defining the test procedures used to ensure that critical functionality will be maintained during the course of any planned work.
The IT infrastructure underpins the whole business from core corporate services including email and internet access, to the Avid systems and broadcast equipment that delivers our programme output. Ensuring its stability and performance is critical and, as we continue to move into a more IP dominated world, the importance of the underlying networks and technology that delivers the connectivity is ever increasing.
