Football stadiums will be your workplace when you work as a Football Systems Operator. Your responsibilities will include installing and running our technology during matches where you will be in charge of our systems. We work whenever there is football, so you should be ready to put in long days on the weekends and in the evenings during the week.
Whilst we provide a number of services in top-flight football, you will initially focus on our Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology. You will gain exposure to various other services as you grow in the role and become a more experienced member of the team.
We will equip you with the technical training, support and full exposure to our systems to perform your day to day tasks but also encourage development and progression to help make an impact on what we do.
