- 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.

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.

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.
