• Extensive preparing, testing, and packing equipment for client projects
• Diagnosing equipment issues
• Logging and organising the repair of damaged equipment
• Maintaining the organisation and cleanliness of the kit room
• Recommending new products and technologies

• Technically knowledgeable about professional camera systems and accessories — including ARRI, RED, Sony, Canon, Aputure, etc.
• Comfortable communicating with clients and offering informed technical advice
• Ideally 1+ year of experience in a rental house, or 2+ years in a technical role on film/TV productions (Assistant camera etc)

What We Offer

• Free use of FOMO kit for personal projects
• A supportive and creative environment that values initiative
• Work at the heart of London’s filmmaking scene – not a warehouse on an industrial estate, but a dynamic, central hub buzzing with filmmakers, creatives, and events.
