In addition to yesterday’s post regarding NGTV’s casting call for a “team leader” on a new adventure TV show, we have yet another dream job to tell you about today:
OFFICIAL CASTING NOTICE FOR ENGINEER:
National Geographic seeking to hire a tech wiz to develop, customize, deploy, and modify equipment for field scientists exploring new frontiers. Will work hand-in-hand with National Geographic’s Remote Imaging Lab. Must be a visionary who can offer practical solutions to a wide variety of technical problems. We’re looking for National Geographic’s version of James Bond’s “Q”- an imagineer who will not just be a lab-based visionary, but also a field engineer, called on to create and operate equipment on site across multiple expeditions.
Outdoor skills required as the sites will be in remote areas of the globe, often in rugged terrain. Must have the ability to handle rapidly changing situations, be passionate about technology and adventure, AND be as comfortable on camera as in the field. Full-time employment with a minimum one-year contract. Be prepared to see your dreams become a reality and have the experience of a lifetime.
If interested, please email us at NGTeamLeader@gmail.com and let us know about why you’re perfect for the job. Make sure to include your name, contact information and a photo and/or video links. (Submissions without photos or video WILL NOT be considered.) U.S. passport and enthusiasm required.
