We expect a minimum of 2 years recognizable credits & checkable references.

You must have experience with SQN, radio mics, booming etc.. for general interviews, OBDOC, News, occasional drama etc…

Sound engineering knowledge is an asset as we often film live events that require location sound control & post-production mixes.

N.B. this is a facility house not a freelancer job.

Interest in cameras, post-prod, studio lighting is good of course, plenty of those guys out there, but we need an team player who won’t moan if they are asked to sweep the yard, make tea, make deliveries etc… as well as able to record great sound.

Our standard office hours are 09.30 – 18.00, Mon – Fri, but the job involves weekends, late nights, drop everything schedules as is the nature of the industry, as Lord Baden-Powell said ‘be prepared’.

You must have a clean, full, UK driving License & be aged over 21 for vehicle insurance purposes, as well as knowing your way around London & the UK like a taxi driver!

This role is not for the faint hearted as the environment we work in is a tough one.

Someone? We can’t tell you who, but we can give you some details.  If you’d like to find out more, you can go and register on the UK Music Jobs website.

Audio visual experience desirable too as we make videos as well.

The company have some exciting acts and bands this year to produce, and some names to work with as well!

This role would suit someone wishing to gain a foot hole and experience in this industry.

We can not promise straight forward payment, but a good reference and obviously credits for work undertaken is worth having.

We are very fair people and if we gain payments for work or royalties, then you will be generously paid for any work.

This is a London based role.
