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
