In addition to WESH and CW18, our engineering team also supports WMOR-TV in Tampa, providing exposure to multi-station operations and centralized broadcast workflows.

As a flagship station within Hearst, we are frequently among the first to deploy and test new broadcast and IT technologies.

  • Execute and improve preventative maintenance programs
  • Provide technical support to News, Production, Creative Services, Sales, and Administration
  • Support live broadcasts and remote productions, including setup and troubleshooting
  • Install, configure, and maintain networking equipment, servers, and workstations
  • Travel as needed to transmitter sites, remote locations, and live event venues
  • Document systems, workflows, and technical procedures
  • Collaborate closely with engineering and IT team members to support station operations and new technology deployments

Requirements

  • This role participates in a structured, rotating schedule that may include early mornings, evenings, and weekends. The rotation is designed to provide balanced coverage while ensuring exposure to all aspects of station operations.

  • Experience with managed network switches and IP-based systems
  • Supporting servers, workstations, and network infrastructure
  • Familiarity with broadcast equipment and production environments
  • Understanding of TCP/IP networking, VPNs, and LAN environments
  • Experience with Windows desktop and server operating systems
