  • Regulatory Knowledge : Working knowledge of FCC rules and regulations.
  • Tool Proficiency : Experience using specialized and standard electronic test equipment.
  • Self-Management and Decision-Making : Must have the proven ability to work independently, make critical decisions, and take prompt action without direct supervision.
  • On-Call Availability : This position requires an "on call" status to immediately address emergencies or breakdowns of critical equipment that impact station operation.
  • Attention to Detail : Exceptional accuracy and meticulous attention to detail are required for all maintenance and reporting tasks.
  • Must be able to lift a minimum of 50lbs on a regular basis
  • Must be able to stand for extended periods of time
