Videographer

Zephyr Tech installs solar, battery storage and EV chargers across the South East. Every lead we generate comes from video — and we want to massively increase how much we make. You'll be our first full-time content hire, owning filming and editing end to end.

The role — a typical week

Roughly 2 days out, 3 days in.

On site (installs across Sussex/South East):

• Film active installs — panels going up, battery fit-offs, EV charger installs, scaffold-up to handover
• Customer interviews and testimonials on camera — you'll need to put homeowners at ease and pull natural soundbites
• Time-lapses, drone footage (if licensed — a plus, not required), before/afters, team and behind-the-scenes content
• Shoot everything as reusable stock, not just for one edit — you're building a footage library, and every job gets logged into it

In the office / editing (when not filming):

• Cut short-form ads for Meta, Instagram and TikTok — hooks, captions, sound, pacing built for feed
• Produce multiple variants per concept: same footage, different hooks, openings, text overlays and lengths, so we can test what converts
• Work from weekly creative briefs driven by our ad performance data — we tell you which angles are winning and dying; you make the next batch
• Ingest, tag and organise the footage library so any clip is findable in minutes
• Thumbnails, cover frames and basic graphics/motion text for ads
• Longer cuts when needed: case study films, website content, occasional recruitment or brand pieces

Output expectation: this is a volume role. We'd rather ship ten strong edits a week and let the data pick winners than wait a month for one perfect film. You'll agree a weekly shipping cadence with us and own hitting it.

Tools \& workflow

• Edit in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve (tell us which — either is fine); After Effects or Resolve Fusion for motion text a plus
• Comfortable with vertical/9:16 delivery specs for Meta and TikTok
• Organised media management — proxies, project templates, a tidy drive structure you maintain
• We also run AI-assisted creative tooling for image and video generation — you don't need experience with it, but you'll be expected to learn it and fold it into your workflow to multiply your output
• Own camera kit a bonus, not required — we'll fund the kit list you need (camera, audio, gimbal, lighting)

What we're looking for

• Strong shooting AND editing — hands-on craft role, not a strategy or social-media-manager role
• High output and fast turnaround; you ship, then improve
• Happy on active job sites — ladders, weather, hi-vis, working around trades
• Short-form native: you know what stops a thumb
• Full UK driving licence (essential — sites are spread across the South East)

What you get

• £28–32k DOE, kit budget, and total creative ownership of a fast-growing company's content
• Your work directly generates our revenue — you'll see the lead numbers your videos produce, weekly

To apply — required
CV plus 3–5 examples of work you've shot and edited yourself (links fine — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Drive). One line per example on what it was for. Applications without work examples will not be considered.
