Positions & specializations
About this operator
The Professional Audio Junior Mix Engineer is actually a junior sound technician role — this person assists with preparing audio systems for events under the direction of senior engineers. Junior sound technicians handle equipment setup, cable runs and management, and basic troubleshooting during load-in and sound check. This is a support role ideal for larger events requiring additional hands during setup and breakdown. While not a mixing engineer, they provide valuable assistance to the lead audio team.
This is our basic tier - trained for standard mic setups, basic mixing, and event sound support. We do not position this operator as a senior professional or industry expert. For serious commercial work please book our senior tier in this role, and for arena tours, festival headline acts, or world-class studio mastering please engage an independent industry specialist directly.
