  • Conducting pre-match checks of the systems in accordance with standard procedures

  • Liaising with stadium staff, match officials and host broadcasters on-site

  • Monitoring hardware and software performances, being able to troubleshoot and report encountered issues

  • Taking full responsibility for our system on-site and representing our company on-site, you will be the only Hawk-Eye employee at the stadium.

  • During the off-season, building and maintaining our hardware and equipment

  • Assisting with the installation and testing of new products and services

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

  • A strong technical grounding

  • Bright and enterprising with excellent analytical and problem-solving skills

  • Proactive attitude and ability to work on your own initiative

  • Time management skills and ability to work in a high-pressure, live broadcast environment

  • Ability to liaise with clients and customers in a professional and approachable manner

  • Full valid driving licence required, willingness to drive our vans

  • Flexible and adaptable to a schedule that is dedicated by the league’s fixture list and can change at short notice 

  • Acceptance that the nature of our business means that work will be carried out over weekends/public holidays

  • Fluent in Dutch and English

Nice to have:

  • A degree in a science, technology or engineering course or relevant equivalent experience

  • Experience working in live events and/or technical production

At Hawk-Eye Innovations, we appreciate and value the importance of potential and growth. If you believe that you excel in certain areas and possess the passion and desire to develop further, we encourage you to apply
