Job description

Good with your hands? Like getting the small stuff right?

Every studio has over a thousand small details. We’re looking for someone to build them with us, on the bench at our Marrickville studio.

Good with your hands? Like getting the small stuff right?

Ridge Films builds Desktop Studios: complete, plug-and-play video studios that sit on a business owner’s desk. Camera, lights, teleprompter, mic, all set up so they flick a switch and record. We’ve been in video since 2002, and we won Product Innovation at the 2025 Australian Business Awards.

Every studio has over a thousand small details. We’re looking for someone to build them with us, on the bench at our Marrickville studio.

Why work with us

• - You build something real. Every kit you put together ends up on a real business owner’s desk, and they use it to show up on camera for their business.
• - You learn from the person who designed it. Ridge is a small team. You’ll be trained by our founder, Chris, not handed a manual and left to it.
• - It goes somewhere. Start on the bench. Learn the upgrades, then go out on installs, then step up to senior technician. More skills, more hours.
• - Hours that fit your life. Casual shifts that work around study or other jobs.

What you’ll do

• - Build studio kits step by step, following our detailed video build guide
• - Assemble and set up cameras, lights, teleprompters, mics and cabling
• - Test everything works before it leaves
• - Label, tidy and pack each kit for delivery
• - Keep the workspace and stock organised

We train you on all of it. You don’t need to know the gear going in.

Who we’re after

• - You’re good with your hands. Maybe you’ve built a PC, wired up a home theatre, worked stage or AV crew, done a trade, or you’re the one who fixes everyone’s tech.
• - You follow a process properly, step by step, and you notice when something isn’t quite right.
• - You think things through and use your initiative, and you ask a question rather than guess.
• - You’re reliable. When you say you’ll be there, you’re there.
• - You’re comfortable with physical work. Some parts are heavy, and some bolts and fittings need a firm hand to tighten properly. You’ll need to do this on your own.
• - You can get to Marrickville easily. Please think about the commute before you apply. It matters to us, and it’ll matter to you.

Nice to have, not essential: AV, electronics or audio experience, or a driver’s licence.

The hours

Casual, flexible shifts at our Marrickville studio, so it can fit around study or other work. It starts small and grows as we get busier. There’s a clear training path for anyone who wants more: the more you learn, the more there is to do.

Applications close Monday 2 November.
