Football Tracking Technician (North)
Location: We are currently hiring across key Northern regions and North East coastal hubs. Ideal candidates will be within easy commuting distance of partner EPL and EFL stadiums across these target areas.
Contract Type: Casual hourly contract – Setup Day & Match Day
Hourly Rate: £13.00 - £18.20 Per Hour. Rates vary depending on role
Role Overview:
As a Football Tracking Technician, you will work on-site at football stadiums across your region, playing a vital role in the delivery of Hawk-Eye’s tracking and officiating technologies for Premier League, EFL, and UEFA fixtures.
You will be responsible for the setup, calibration, and optimisation of services including Goal Line Technology (GLT) and Electronic Performance & Tracking Systems (EPTS). This includes connecting and configuring PCs and hardware within stadium fibre-optic networks, optimising camera alignments, troubleshooting technical issues in real time, and coordinating closely with remote operations centres, on-site technical leads, and replay operators to ensure seamless match delivery.
Comprehensive technical training and ongoing support will be provided, giving you full exposure to industry-leading sports technology systems and live match operations.
This is an exciting opportunity to gain hands-on experience in elite football environments, live broadcast technology, and high-performance sports operations at the highest level of the game.

Live Match Monitoring: Actively monitoring hardware and software performance during live matches to instantly troubleshoot, resolve, and report technical errors.
Stakeholder Management: Liaising professionally with stadium staff, match officials, and host broadcasters on-site, serving as a trusted brand ambassador for Hawk-Eye
