Countryfile, BBC One's flagship factual series and one of the UK's most-watched factual programmes, is looking for an enthusiastic and organised Technical Runner to join the team.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with previous experience in post-production or television production to gain hands-on experience within a busy and supportive production environment.

Working across production and post-production, you'll play an important role in managing rushes, supporting technical workflows and helping coordinate filming equipment.

We're looking for someone who is proactive, detail-oriented and enjoys problem-solving. If you're eager to learn, work collaboratively and develop your career in television production, we'd love to hear from you.

Main Responsibilities:

• Check rushes logs and paperwork against incoming media during the ingest process.
• Sync rushes, including responsibility for weekend rushes syncing on a regular basis.
• Coordinate equipment movements between Victoria House and Bridgewater House in Bristol.
• Assist with the preparation, maintenance and return of production equipment before and after shoots.
• Support technical and post-production workflows to ensure media is handled accurately and efficiently.
• Provide shoot support on location when production requirements dictate.
• Maintain clear and accurate records relating to rushes, equipment and technical processes.

What We're Looking For:

• Have a minimum of 1 year experience in a post-production, production or media environment, or can demonstrate transferable skills from a related role.
• Are highly organised, with strong attention to detail.
• Can accurately manage records, logs and documentation.
• Are comfortable working independently while also contributing to a collaborative team environment.
• Are flexible and willing to regularly work a weekend day to support media syncing requirements.
• Have strong communication and teamwork skills.
• Remain calm under pressure and approach challenges with a positive and professional attitude.
• A full UK driving licence is desirable; however, we welcome applications from candidates who can meet the travel requirements by other means.
• Experience of AVID desirable but not essential
