  • Driving & Logistics: Must have a valid driver's license, a clean driving record, and the confidence to drive mountain roads in rain, fog, or light winter conditions.
  • Physical Demands: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs., climb ladders, and work comfortably behind equipment racks.
  • Availability: Ability to work a flexible schedule, including being on-call for emergency transmitter or critical studio outages during off-hours.
  • Cable Management: Experience with soldering, custom cable fabrication, and reading schematics.
