ENG Camera Operator

WIN Television Network is hiring an ENG Camera Operator to join its regional newsroom in Darwin, NT. This role sits at the intersection of field production and post, with the operator responsible for shooting and cutting broadcast-ready news content across a wide range of story types. It is a natural fit for someone with a solid grounding in ENG workflow who wants genuine editorial variety rather than a narrow beat.

About the Role

You will be embedded in the Darwin newsroom, reporting to the National News Director and working across the full news production cycle from location shooting through to edit delivery. Day to day, that means heading out on a range of regional television news stories, from local government and politics to sport and environmental coverage, then bringing that footage back and cutting it to air. The territory offers a genuinely distinct production environment, with stories that rarely look the same week to week.

Key Responsibilities

• Operate ENG camera equipment in the field across a broad range of broadcast news formats, including sit-down interviews, live events, and documentary-style community pieces.
• Edit acquired footage to broadcast specifications, managing the full post-production workflow from ingest through to final delivery.
• Identify and frame compelling visual narratives independently, exercising editorial judgment on location without a dedicated director.
• Cover Darwin and the broader NT region, requiring you to drive to locations and manage your own field logistics across varied terrain and conditions.
• Meet daily news deadlines with accurate, broadcast-quality output, maintaining technical standards across both acquisition and edit.
• Contribute story ideas and pitch visual approaches in collaboration with producers and the news team.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated experience as an ENG Camera Operator in a broadcast television or regional news environment.
• Hands-on video editing skills with experience delivering content within a live broadcast post-production workflow.
• A proven track record shooting interviews, sport, and community-based content across varied production conditions.
• Strong attention to technical detail and the ability to self-manage time against hard air deadlines.
• An unrestricted Australian driver’s licence, which is a firm requirement for this position.
• Valid Australian working rights.

Why This Role

WIN Television Network is Australia’s largest commercial television network, reaching around eight million viewers, and this Darwin posting puts an ENG Camera Operator at the front of genuine regional storytelling with real reach. The role comes with 16 weeks of employer-funded paid parental leave for primary carers, superannuation paid on top of that leave, novated leasing and salary packaging options, and access to employee wellbeing and fitness programs. For an operator who wants ownership over their work and consistent production variety, regional television news at this scale delivers both.
