Our Staff
Each of our major clusters is staffed with a chief engineer and one or more assistant engineers. Our chief engineers are highly-trained broadcast specialists with years of experience in the broadcast engineering field. They are chosen not only for their skills and experience but also for their commitment to excellence. Most of our chief engineers have been with the company for many years. These skilled, capable and committed individuals are a key part of Crawford's commitment to technical excellence.

Assistant engineers are hired and trained with a view to reproducing properly-trained and skilled chief engineers. Our chief engineers treat their assistants as apprentices, teaching them and giving them the benefit of their knowledge and years of experience.
