• Perform routine maintenance on broadcast and collaboration equipment to help prevent downtime

• Coordinate repairs, replacements, upgrades, and escalations as needed

• Communicate status updates on open issues, projects, event readiness, and service activities to leadership and stakeholders as needed

• Support continuous improvement through service monitoring, issue follow-up, post-event review, and corrective actions

• Maintain a professional presence when supporting senior leaders, high-visibility meetings, and time-sensitive events

• Provide guidance and coordination support to other technicians or support resources as needed during complex events or service activities

What You'll Need:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience
