Technician: Esports 0.6 FTE

At Norwich, our Esports course connects a passion for gaming with real-world professional opportunities. While playing and understanding games is a core part of the learning experience, our curriculum goes beyond gameplay to critically and creatively explore the global Esports landscape. Students engage with topics such as event management and production, broadcasting, marketing and business, coaching, team and community management, game design, and game studies.

In September 2025, we are launching our brand-new Esports Lab, and we are seeking a skilled and enthusiastic technician to support students and academic staff across all aspects of the course. This role is central to the daily operation of the Lab, ensuring that gaming systems and the broadcast suite function smoothly and that the space is appropriately prepared for teaching sessions, events, and live productions.

We are looking for someone with a strong working knowledge of audiovisual equipment commonly used in Esports, including sound and lighting desks, cameras, and vision mixers. Experience in live venue operations and supporting corporate events or live shows is essential.

The ideal candidate will be capable of delivering live broadcasts and leading technical workshops that equip students with the skills to independently manage their own live or recorded events.

The role also involves maintaining a wide range of studio and broadcast equipment, arranging servicing and repairs when necessary, and working closely with our IT Services team to ensure all devices and networks are configured optimally for gaming and broadcasting.

In addition to technical responsibilities, the technician will support academic delivery across the broader themes of the course, helping students explore the critical and creative dimensions of Esports, including business and marketing, coaching, game design, and community management.

Above all, we are looking for a passionate and collaborative individual to become a valued member of our creative community and help establish Esports as a vibrant part of our creative portfolio.
