- Sound Systems Engineer/Manager;
- Sound Systems Engineers Assistant: The church has just invested in digital sound equipment for the main church, chapel and church hall. The equipment requires that it’s operators be well schooled in the principles of sound processing, mixing and recording. A more than passing knowledge of acoustics of buildings and sound spectrum management will be an advantage. Services are conducted almost daily in the main church and at least once a week in the chapel. The hall is rented out on a commercial basis and it is anticipated that now, the option of using the Church’s own public address systems for speech and bands will be offered to clients. To this end, 3 personnel will be required with one of them being in charge of the other two. Serious enquirers/ applications should be sent to Mr. Michael Ipadeola of Our Saviours Church TBS LAGOS. Applications must include a resume, summary of knowledge and experience and indications of availability.
