Hiring: Broadcast Engineer
In April, KZMU lost our longtime engineer, DJ, and dear friend, Bob Owen. We miss Bob dearly and wish we could thank him in person for the engineering magic, boisterous laughter, sage insights, support, dedication, passion, fun, and love he shared with KZMU and our community of listeners over the years.

KZMU is now in need of a Broadcast Engineer and we are excited to extend the opportunity to applicants to fulfill this crucial role at KZMU - our small-but-mighty, funky, grassroots, community-empowered radio station!

The Broadcast Engineer works closely with the rest of the staff to ensure the success of the station’s efforts, chiefly through managing our FM frequencies and web stream. The Broadcast Engineer ensures KZMU, Moab Community Radio and all associated signals have high quality technical and aesthetic audio.

This position is a part time, non-exempt, hourly position at approximately 10-20 hours per month depending on the station’s needs and agreed upon projects at a rate of $50-$100 per hour depending on experience. Hours will vary based on project needs. In the first approximately 3-4 months after being hired, the Broadcast Engineer can expect to work more hours to inventory and test equipment, make necessary repairs, and complete documentation for all broadcast and music equipment and systems.

Candidates who have audio engineering experience or other engineering experience (even if this is not directly related to Broadcast Engineering) and/or are able to learn audio engineering duties quickly are encouraged to apply. On-the-job training with an experienced engineer will be provided. KZMU is willing to provide funding for SBE (Society of Broadcast Engineer) courses for selected candidates, as needed.
