The National Film and Television School (NFTS)
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. It is widely acknowledged to be the top school of its kind in the UK and one of the best internationally, being named as one of The Hollywood Reporter’s top international film schools for over a decade. The NFTS is a registered charity (313429).
CoSTAR National Lab for Research and Development in Creative Technology is the largest ever investment in the creative industries in UK history. The NFTS has been announced as a key partner to run the CoSTAR National Lab, a £51.1m investment by the UK Government to ensure the UK’s screen and performance industries have the innovation infrastructure to compete globally. By bringing together world leaders in technology, research and story, we will catalyse innovation for the UK’s Creative Industries. Our consortium brings together world-leading research teams from media production, psychology, business and drama at Royal Holloway, AI at University of Surrey; and Creative Technology at Abertay University; and professional training at the National Film & Television School.
We are now recruiting for a Studio Engineer to support virtual production research and creative technological activity within the CoSTAR National Lab Futures Studio, currently at Royal Holloway University with a planned relocation to Pinewood Studios from Autumn 2026. This is a key role, providing on-floor oversight of studio technicians during productions, supporting the safe and effective delivery of studio activity, as well as feeding into the establishment of practical workflows and operational practices.
The ideal candidate will have strong knowledge of virtual production techniques and a strong understanding of integrated AV signal flow, alongside experience of troubleshooting within complex, multi-system production environments. You will have strong organisational and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across creative, research and technical teams.

At the NFTS, people are at the heart of what we do. We’re an inclusive employer and are committed to equality of opportunity, and building a culturally diverse workforce.
