About the role
OC Sports & Entertainment, the company behind the Anaheim Ducks and Honda Center, is hiring a Lead Audio Engineer. The role leads the team of audio technicians who handle sound at Honda Center and its related event spaces, from Ducks home games and select concerts to restaurants, clubs, outdoor venues, and live production shoots.

Away from the mixing desk you plan audio projects, scope requirements with clients and event managers, support the video team with pre and post production audio, manage wireless frequency coordination, and mentor technicians and junior engineers.
The job is full time and on site in Anaheim, with a schedule that can include weekends, holidays, split shifts, late nights, and overnights. The posted starting rate is $45.50 to $52.50 an hour.
