Artist management company Restless Minds is looking for an experienced and highly technical recording engineer to support recording sessions and the day-to-day operation of a professional music studio.This role requires someone who is confident working independently, can quickly diagnose technical problems and has strong practical experience across both digital and analogue studio environments.

The successful candidate must use Logic Pro as their primary DAW and be fully comfortable managing recording sessions, signal flow, routing, software, hardware and studio troubleshooting. The studio focuses on creating R&B, trap and hip-hop records, so an interest in these genres and the music we make would be a bonus.

• Troubleshoot technical problems during sessions with minimal disruption to artists and producers.
• Maintain an organised, professional and efficient studio environment.
