We’re looking for an experienced, technically skilled and highly organised Digital Imaging Technician (DIT) & Video Editor to manage footage and deliver high-quality post-production across a wide range of projects.

You should have substantial editing experience, including multicamera podcasts, green screen productions, short-form content and longer-form videos. Strong audio skills are essential, including the ability to mix complex productions with up to 20 participants and multiple microphone tracks.

Camera operating experience is desirable but not essential.

• Create and verify backups using appropriate tools and checksum verification.
• Confirm media is safely transferred and backed up before cards are cleared under studio procedures.
• Check incoming recordings for missing files, recording faults and technical issues.
• Maintain clear folder structures, naming conventions, media logs and version control.
• Create proxies, transcode footage and synchronise multiple camera and audio sources.
• Keep original media, proxies and project files correctly linked.
• Follow secure storage, archiving and retrieval procedures.

Video Editing & Post-Production

• Edit podcasts, interviews, branded videos, promotional campaigns, educational content, documentaries and social media videos.
• Turn raw footage into polished edits with clear storytelling, strong pacing and consistent continuity.

• Apply colour correction and grading for a consistent, professional finish.
• Add titles, captions, subtitles, graphics, music and effects.
• Adapt content for different platforms, durations and aspect ratios.
• Manage feedback and revisions while meeting agreed deadlines.

Green Screen & Podcast Editing

• Edit multicamera video podcasts and audio-only episodes, maintaining accurate synchronisation and natural conversational flow.
• Produce clean green screen keys, control spill and integrate subjects into backgrounds or virtual sets.
• Refine composites using masks, tracking and edge adjustments where needed.
• Create finished episodes and captioned clips ready for publication.

Audio Editing & Complex Sound Mixing

• Edit and mix complex recordings involving up to 20 participants, working confidently with multiple microphones and isolated audio tracks.
• Manage overlapping dialogue, microphone bleed, phase issues and differing recording levels while keeping speech clear and natural.
• Select and balance microphone tracks, automate levels and maintain consistent sound across speakers.
• Reduce background noise and apply EQ, compression, de-essing and other processing appropriately.
• Mix dialogue, music and effects for podcasts, interviews, panel discussions and other productions.
• Identify and resolve audio synchronisation issues and check final mixes for loudness, clarity and consistency.

File Delivery & Client Communication

• Export drafts and final files to the specifications required by YouTube, social media, podcast platforms and clients.
• Upload deliverables and share clearly labelled, accessible links.
• Check file formats, permissions and upload completion before sharing.
• Track feedback, revisions and approvals.
