If so, and you think you’d enjoy working on a wide variety of fantastic Channel 4 content, then we would love to hear from you.

**What do PFT UK do?**

Our Channel 4 team in PFT Leeds look after all Channel 4 content, from Father Ted to The Great British Bake Off, from Gogglebox to live streamed Formula 1®, and all the bits in between. We review and quality check all content to meet Channel 4’s technical standards. And that’s where our fantastic media operator team truly comes in to its own, working around the clock to ensure that we deliver a seamless service to Channel 4 and its audience.

**Media Operators**

Our media operators work on all Channel 4 content. Whether it’s contemporary programmes like Taskmaster and Married at First Sight, boxsets for VOD, movies for Film4, or even the commercials and promos, it all needs reviewing and quality checking against a range of DPP broadcast standards. The media operators remaster material and repair issues, recording all information accurately on systems that can be accessed by Channel 4, by our playout partners, or by the many production houses who supply programmes to Channel 4.

The team also monitor all online streaming, ensuring that live programmes can be watched On Demand and that if you have missed an episode of your favourite show, it is available on Channel 4 streaming services.

- Knowledge of UK DPP QC standards
