I. Position – Video Engineer (V1)
We are seeking a candidate with solid hands-on experience and a strong working knowledge of video systems, signal flow, and live event operations. The Video Engineer (V1) would serve as a lead for the video department and be responsible for directing the entire video workflow from initial planning through strike. This person owns the show floor: they configure and run the system, interface with the client, and are the last line of defense when something goes wrong.
This is not a beginner’s role. The ideal candidate brings event experience, a confident command of technology, and the composure to run a show independently under pressure for flawless execution.
Working Schedule
Routine business tasks are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and outside of regular operating hours as necessary. Travel is a significant component of this role and would require work and travel outside of routine business hours. This position is a salary position exempt from overtime without defined working hours, and the salary is based on an average of 50 hours per week.
Responsibilities
· Serve as Engineer in Charge (EIC) On-Site: Act as the primary technical lead and single point of accountability for the video department at all assigned events. Direct load-in, system check, show execution, and strike. Ensure all video systems are operational and all crew are on task from call time to wrap.
· Operate Video Switching and Playback Systems: Operate video switchers (e.g., Blackmagic ATEM, Pixel Hue, Barco) and manage content playback across multiple screens, programs, and live streams with precision and accuracy. Execute cue-to-cue show flows and adapt to real-time changes without disrupting the production.
· Set Up and Configure Video Equipment: Deploy and configure LED walls, video racks, manned cameras, PTZ systems, monitors, and confidence displays. Must have a strong working understanding of signal flow, Dante, Companion, network integration, and IP video routing.
· Manage Live Streams and Hybrid Events: Plan, configure, and operate live streams for corporate and hybrid events.
· Act as Site Lead / Point of Contact: Act as point of contact for client questions related to video or general event needs. Communicate professionally with clients, show callers, and venue contacts both written and verbal. Respond to all messages internal and external within 24 hours.
· Be a Team Player and Adapt to Change: Collaborate with other team members for successful events. Support team operations across planning, packing, and deployment. Stay flexible and solution-focused when plans change.
· Troubleshoot Technical Issues: Quickly work to resolve technical issues when they arise — both on-site and remotely when needed.
· Inventory Management: Scan in/out orders to the inventory tracking system as needed.
· Equipment Maintenance and Repair: Evaluate equipment that needs repair and assist with repairs. Inspect, clean, prep/deprep as needed.
· Support Site Preparation: Assist in creating video rack setups, workflow diagrams, and event-day checklists. Ensure compliance with safety standards and event timelines.
· Develop Skills and Support the Team: Stay current with industry trends, tools, and best practices. Help mentor less experienced crew members.
· Participate in Pre-Production and Advance Work: Join pre-production calls, review show files, rundowns, and floor plans ahead of event day. Build and distribute signal flow diagrams and equipment lists for assigned shows.
· Coordinate Across Departments: Communicate technical requirements with other department leads ahead of and during events.
· Camera Shading and Color Matching: Shade and color-match all camera feeds during live production.
· Manage Recording and Capture Workflows: Set up and monitor record systems for ISO recordings and deliverables.
· Complete Post-Event Reporting: Document and communicate show notes, equipment issues, and observations after each event.
· Additional duties as assigned
