First established in 1971, the National Film and Television School (NFTS) has evolved to become a leading global institution, developing some of Britain and the world’s top creative talent in film, television and games.

The NFTS is a registered charity (313429).
The CoSTAR Stage at Pinewood Studios will be a state-of-the-art Converged Media Production Stage, purpose-built as a flexible and reconfigurable R&D environment at the heart of the UK's globally recognised centre for screen production. At its heart is a studio with an LED and projection display system, motorised rigging, integrated spatial audio, camera and motion tracking, a next-generation ST-2110 IP media network and advanced AI compute. The stage will provide an industry-leading environment for experimentation, prototyping and demonstration across film, television, live performance, immersive media and gaming.
CoSTAR (Convergent Screen Technologies and Performance in Realtime) is a £75.6 million investment from the UKRI Infrastructure Fund, delivered by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). CoSTAR establishes the UK’s first national network of research and development (R&D) Labs for the Creative Industries, forming part of the UK’s long-term research infrastructure to support innovation-led growth in some of the country’s most economically and culturally significant sectors.
We are now recruiting for a Senior Technician to join the team, operating and maintaining the stage and its systems day to day, as well as supporting users from the creative industries and academia to carry out ground-breaking research and development projects.
The ideal candidate will have the skills and experience to work with our core systems and the flexibility to thrive in a constantly changing R&D environment. You will have strong interpersonal skills to work closely with people from a wide range of industries, supporting users new to the environment one day and learning from world-leading experts the next. You will be hands-on, technically capable and comfortable working across multiple systems.
