Surfline operates one of the world's largest coastal camera networks, delivering real-time surf intelligence to millions of users daily. As Camera Installations Manager for the Southeast US, you will own the growth and reliability of our camera and weather station infrastructure across one of the fastest-expanding regions in our network.The Southeast is a demanding place to run coastal infrastructure. Heat, humidity and salt air work against every piece of hardware we deploy, summer storms and lightning take sites offline without warning, and hurricane season can put an entire coastline out at once. Installation quality and speed of recovery directly determine uptime and the experience of every surfer checking their local break.This role is weighted toward expansion. Your primary measure is new cameras delivered and live, and the biggest lever you have is other people: you will build and direct the contractor network that carries out the physical work, stepping into the field yourself for the complex, high-priority or time-sensitive jobs. Alongside that you will own the reliability of your region, which matters most between June and November.Under Surfline's "Work from Anywhere" policy, this role can be based anywhere on the Florida coast, ideally within reach of Central Florida, with travel required from time to time.What You’ll DoOwn regional expansion performance: new camera installations delivered, live and generating value, consistently month to month rather than in burstsBuild, grow and direct a contractor network across the Southeast, from sourcing and vetting through onboarding, briefing and quality controlProvide technical direction and quality control across all installation and maintenance work, ensuring strong execution without reworkScope sites properly before anyone travels: power, connectivity options, mounting, line of sight, host access and permissionsPrepare and configure hardware ahead of every install, including cameras, routers, edge devices and off-grid solar where a site has no mains powerStep into the field yourself for complex, high-priority or time-sensitive installations and repairs, demonstrating your expertise throughoutServe as the primary technical authority for camera and weather station systems in your regionPerform advanced troubleshooting across networking, ISP connectivity, power systems and line-of-sight challengesSupport remote diagnostics and respond to service issues with urgency to minimise downtimeLead hurricane season readiness and recovery across the region: preparation, damage assessment and getting cameras back online quicklyOwn the accuracy of the data captured at the point of install, including serial numbers, location and elevation, connectivity details, access credentials and photographs.
