- Maintain and calibrate studio equipment, including monitors, microphones, interfaces, outboard gear, and acoustic treatments.
- Assess room acoustics and advise on studio layout adjustments to resolve phase issues, unwanted reflections, and standing-wave problems.
- Diagnose and resolve technical faults in audio software, drivers, and signal chains during live or session work.
- Collaborate with artists, producers, and clients to interpret creative goals and deliver audio that meets the intended vision.
- Provide live sound engineering support for performances or sessions recorded in non-studio spaces, adapting setups to changing acoustics.

- A portfolio of professional credits in music production or live sound engineering, demonstrating real-world delivery and client-facing work.
- Solid knowledge of acoustics and studio design, including an understanding of how room dimensions, surface materials, and speaker placement affect recording and mixing results.
- A Diploma in Music Production & Sound Engineering, or equivalent formal study covering audio theory, signal flow, critical listening, and studio operations.
- Strong communication and organisational skills to manage session timelines, equipment logistics, and client feedback effectively.
