Are you a tech-savvy problem solver who loves the thrill of keeping a complex system running smoothly? Do you thrive on the challenge of bridging the gap between traditional broadcasting and the future of media? We’re looking for a Broadcast/IT Maintenance Technician who isn't just looking for a job, but a chance to be the technical backbone of WLUC. Whether it’s ensuring our live streams are rock-solid or keeping our newsroom systems firing on all cylinders, you’ll be the one making sure the magic happens—across every screen.
Responsibilities include:
• Own the infrastructure: Install and maintain the video, audio, and computer systems that power our station, from server-based record systems to non-linear editors.
• Bridge the digital divide: Manage servers, network security, and network services to ensure our multi-platform content reaches our audience without a hitch.
• Support the storytellers: Provide direct technical support for the News Department, ensuring our reporters and anchors have the tools they need to win the day.
• Master the hardware: Take charge of PC hardware and software support, installing and repairing workstations on-site with precision and speed.
• Keep us on the air: Assist with the maintenance of transmitters, studio equipment, and Master Control to ensure our signal—and our reputation—stays strong.
• Secure our future: Apply regular security updates and develop a deep knowledge of facility-specific IT needs to keep us ahead of the curve.
• Manage the fleet: Help keep our team moving by scheduling vehicle maintenance and performing weekly inspections (because news happens everywhere).
• Maintain the environment: Handle general building maintenance and even assist with plowing at studio or transmitter locations when the U.P. weather gets "interesting."
