Location: Basingstoke, Hampshire. This is an in-office role, and as such, will require you to live within a reasonable commute.
Contract: Casual hourly contract
Working Hours: Shifts typically 10 - 12 hours
Hourly Rate: £13.00 - £18.20 Per Hour (exact rate will vary depending on role)
Start Date: July/August 2026
We are looking for candidates to play a key part in delivering Goal Line Technology (GLT) at our centre in Basingstoke; however,
there is scope for successful candidates to be offered further opportunities in delivering Electronic Performance and Tracking
Systems (EPTS) and Semi-Automatic Offside (SAO) in elite football competitions. Having successfully deployed this system across
UEFA competitions, we are now expanding our remote operations to include the Premier League and Championship.
Based in the Remote Operations Centre (ROC) at Hawk-Eye’s Head Office in Basingstoke, you'll play a crucial role in operating
cutting-edge technology, liaising with Hawk-Eye colleagues on the ground across the UK, and a range of external stakeholders,
contributing to the excitement of live sports events.
While this is a casual contract, we are seeking candidates with full availability across the week. This role is designed for those
looking to commit to significant hours, particularly during peak periods of the football calendar.
For a typical 3pm kick off you can expect our call time to be 5 to 6 hours prior to the start of the match. Throughout the day you
will be faced with several hard deadlines in which you will have to meet in order for the service to run effectively and
efficiently.
Initially, you will spend the first part of your day testing communications, calibrating, and optimising the technology. This
ensures GLT is fully operational two hours prior to kick-off, allowing match officials to test its integrity.
Warm up is our final opportunity to ensure the system is fully functional before we enter the live match. During the live match
you will be monitoring the data, fine tuning the calibration and constantly preparing to produce a virtual replay for broadcasters
should a goal line incident occur and activate our GLT system.
To summarise, these would be the key components of the role:
mathematics, science or technology.
At Hawk-Eye Innovations, we appreciate and value the importance of potential and growth. If you believe that you excel in certain
areas and possess the passion and desire to develop further, we encourage you to apply.
Please Note: While this is a casual contract, matches take place strictly according to the football calendar.
The journey will begin with training and testing during global sporting events from July and into August. It is crucial that you
are able to provide a good level of availability to regularly contribute and participate in these exposure and training
opportunities over the initial training period. The ultimate goal is that by the opening weekend of the Premier League in August
we will have a pool of operators who are ready to deliver GLT across multiple competitions.
This role will have an initial focus on UEFA Football events while you train and gain experience in operating our system, with
successful candidates then being given further exposure during our EPL and EFL operations.
A typical shift would start 6 hours before the designated kick-off time to set up and test technology. The end of the shift is
dependent on service, but typically would be 1 or 2 hours after the match has finished.
Up to this point, while there may be many things that you find intriguing about this role, the difficulties you may face should
not be ignored.
expected to fulfil our roles until the final whistle and takedown is complete.
will bring high levels of pressure.
We will do our best to train and equip you to the best possible level to help with these, however it is important to consider how
you naturally navigate high-pressure environments, and whether this fast-paced role is the right fit for you.
At Hawk-Eye, we pride ourselves on a collaborative, high-performance culture where trust, passion, and innovation thrive. We
believe in fostering an environment where every team member is empowered to push boundaries and contribute to the future of sports
