Important: Please read before applying

This is not a standard videography or flexible freelance gig. We are looking for reliable, punctual, and physically active individuals to capture critical data on active construction sites.

The logistics

• Part-Time: Each construction site requires 1–2 days of capture per week. This is not a full-time role unless you are willing and able to cover multiple sites within your region.
• Fixed Schedule: Our capture days are set by the project locations. We require full-day availability (typically 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM). This role is not compatible with “after-hours” work or flexible university schedules.

Safety and Requirements

• CSCS Card: Safety is our priority. All technicians must have a valid CSCS card before their first day on-site.
  • Already certified? Great, you can start immediately. Candidates with the CSCS card will be prioritized.
  • Not certified? We will provide the support and resources to help you complete this training before you begin.
• Safety Gear: Steel-toed safety boots are mandatory at all times. If you don’t already own a pair, we will reimburse the cost to ensure you have the correct protection.
• The Environment: You will be on active construction sites. This means wearing full PPE (hard hat, boots, high-vis), walking 20,000+ steps a day, and working outdoors regardless of the weather.
• Precision Over Creativity: Your goal is high-quality, systematic data capture following a strict technical brief.
