We had four sites to maintain with only the public being aware of two. This meant I had to work with the public as well as a lot of outside international agencies.I was involved with manually installing cameras and date cabling including fibre optic and camera vision leads. I was also tasked with installing various RF stations for the remote camera signals located on the boats themselves. Within the athletes marina I was included in installing the cameras and dummy’s on the competitor’s boats and assisting with the televised output in the outside broadcast truck.The roll of utilities was primarily to set up and de-rig the equipment for the games, and then during the games I got to experience the other departments as I was in a standby roll and got pulled away when needed.

My duties included lighting design and maintenance, live sound engineering, stage management, ‘roadie-ing’ and hospitality for the acts. The venues held events most nights of the week from local to international acts, the shifts were normally long and during unsociable times but it was worth it, to see the final product.As I was at university at the time of this job, during my third year of my studies, I had to train a small team to release me so that I could focus on my final projects and for when I eventually graduated, so I had to teach the basics of the job as well as train up members of staff.
