Job description
Who is a Hockey Broadcast Technician at SMT?
Are you a hockey fan? Do you have experience working in a broadcast environment or hands-on experience troubleshooting technology? If you answered yes, here’s your chance to "break away” with SMT as a Hockey Broadcast Technician. Broadcast technicians get the opportunity to work with SMT’s award-winning and globally recognized Player and Puck tracking technology for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
This opportunity requires an exceptional attention span to simultaneously monitor computer applications, follow the events of the game without becoming distracted and effectively communicate with other team members and our clients. This position requires reporting to the Amalie Arena and candidates must be able to meet this requirement to be considered for the opportunity.
This is a seasonal position, with an hourly rate of $25-$30 based on experience. We are hiring for the 2026-27 season, and the interviews will begin in August.
What is Your Daily Impact at SMT?
As a Hockey Broadcast Technician, you will report to the arena six hours before puck drop to begin prep for your game. Game shifts are typically 8-10 hours based on the length of the game. You will collaborate with our remote studio staff in Durham, NC, fellow on-site SMT teammates and our broadcast partners to ensure our technology is skating at full speed and ready to take the ice.
Additional responsibilities include:
Verify all tracking system components are in working order
Work directly with broadcast mobile unit engineers to confirm video and communication feeds
Create and continue an open communication platform with NHL and Network personnel
Communications with NHL & SMT staff onsite and in Durham for pre-game verification of Player and Puck Tracking deliverables
Operation of the tracking system during games
Perform system maintenance, when necessary
Troubleshoot system components – computers, cameras, cables, and networks
