Overview
GBH enriches people's lives through programs and services that educate, inspire, and entertain, fostering citizenship and culture, the joy of learning, and the power of diverse perspectives.
At GBH, we believe in the advantages of coming together to build community, mentor and learn from colleagues, and connect more deeply with our mission. As a result, the majority of our staff are hybrid and work both from home and onsite. Our current hybrid approach requires staff to work onsite a minimum of two days each week, every Tuesday and one other day, to be determined by their business unit. Hybrid staff are also welcome to come in additional days each week or may be asked to come in on other days by their manager.
DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW
The GBH Production Group oversees GBH production and post-production operations and is comprised of two divisions:
GBH Studios which manage and staff studio and EFP production, Fraser Studio operations, GBH public spaces, and the remote studio at Boston Public Library.
GBH OutPost, which provides post-production services, including color-grading and online, audio mixing and sweetening, sound booth recording, and duplication/encoding operations.
JOB OVERVIEW
The Technical Director will work in the studios and will collaborate closely with the TV director and technical crew to ensure the show rundown is executed cleanly and accurately. Take a leading role overseeing the technical specifications necessary for the production. Clear and concise dissemination of control room traffic to the necessary personnel is critical and a sharp eye on detail is a must. The Technical Director needs to support the technical needs of a wide variety of internal and external clients for live/pre-tape productions and special programming.
