Studio Operator

The Role

You will play a hands‑on part in the day‑to‑day running of the studios, helping deliver smooth live and pre‑recorded productions from setup through to strike. Working closely with the Studio Lead, you will help make sure each shoot is prepared properly, operated professionally and supported by the right kit, systems and processes.

Your work will span camera operation, VT playback and ingest, sound support, autocue and editing, so this is a role for someone who enjoys variety and can move confidently between technical and creative tasks. You will also help maintain equipment, keep studio trackers up to date, manage kit between spaces and support testing and innovation as new workflows are introduced.

Alongside the practical production work, you will play an important part in keeping the studios organised, reliable and ready for use. You will work with colleagues across production, engineering and wider Digital teams to troubleshoot issues, support continuity and contribute to a positive, solutions‑focused studio environment.

What You’ll Bring

Experience in a multi‑camera studio or live broadcast environment.

Experience operating autocue systems in live or recorded productions.

Working knowledge of non‑linear editing software such as Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or similar.

Ability to operate studio cameras and support basic camera maintenance and setup.

Comfortable working with studio audio, playback, VT ingest and media management workflows.

Excellent teamwork, adaptability and attention to detail, with a calm and practical approach under pressure.
