Job description

WGHP/FOX 8 is seeking an experienced and highly reliable Broadcast Engineer to join our Engineering Department. This role is a critical, hands-on technical position responsible for the daily maintenance of all station equipment, from studio infrastructure and networking to high-power RF systems. This position holds primary technical oversight of our broadcast transmitting facilities, ensuring maximum uptime and compliance for a vital aspect of our operation.

Core Responsibilities

  • System Maintenance and Repair (Daily Focus): Perform prompt troubleshooting, repair, and preventative maintenance on all electronic and mechanical equipment necessary for WGHP's continuous operation.
  • Prioritization: Independently assess, prioritize, and execute the repair or replacement of critical broadcast equipment to minimize downtime.
  • Inter-Departmental Support: Collaborate with other station departments to provide technical support and ensure the proper maintenance and operation of their associated equipment.
  • Inventory and Logistics: Manage and update the spare parts inventory and coordinate the ordering of replacement components as needed.

Critical Infrastructure Oversight

This Broadcast Engineer position is the department's designated expert and primary point of contact for our remote transmission facilities. While this may not be a daily task, it represents the most critical aspect of the role.

  • Transmitter and Tower Facility Oversight: In partnership with the Director of Technology, provide direct oversight, monitoring, and management for the broadcast transmitters, guyed towers, and remote facility sites. This includes performing maintenance, supervising contracted work, and managing the facility upkeep.
  • Mandatory Reporting: You will be responsible for meticulously documenting and reporting all operational, maintenance, and compliance issues at the transmitter site directly to the Director of Technology.
  • Compliance: Work closely with the Director of Technology to ensure the station operates with optimum quality and adheres to all Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules and regulations, with specific attention to transmitter logs and procedures.

Required Experience and Qualifications

  • Minimum two to three (2-3) years of hands-on work experience in the maintenance and repair of computer, networking, and commercial television equipment.
  • Expert Knowledge of the Broadcast Air-Chain: A strong working knowledge and understanding of the complete signal path, including UHF transmitters, Bonded Cellular, Electronic News Gathering (ENG), Satellite News Gathering (SNG), and RF microwave systems.
  • Regulatory Knowledge: Working knowledge of FCC rules and regulations.
  • Tool Proficiency: Experience using specialized and standard electronic test equipment.
  • Self-Management and Decision-Making: Must have the proven ability to work independently, make critical decisions, and take prompt action without direct supervision.
  • On-Call Availability: This position requires an "on call" status to immediately address emergencies or breakdowns of critical equipment that impact station operation.
  • Attention to Detail: Exceptional accuracy and meticulous attention to detail are required for all maintenance and reporting tasks.
  • Must be able to lift a minimum of 50lbs on a regular basis
  • Must be able to stand for extended periods of time
  • Must be able to climb ladders on occasion

Preferred Skills

  • Advanced computer skills
  • AutoCAD experience
  • Ability to train or instruct personnel in other departments on the proper operation of technical equipment.
