Job description

Apply for Video Editor & Content Creator at BUILDING MATERIALS WHOLESALE LTD in Grays, ENG, GB. This Full time on site position offers great opportunities for career growth. Full-time, Permanent role | Monday-Friday | 9:00am-5:00pm West Thurrock, RM20 3FN Office-based, with filming days out £32,000-£38,000 per year, depending on capability.

About the role

This is a hands-on creative role with a front-row seat to the behind-the-scenes of a growing business. You’ll work directly with the CEO and Head of Brand & Creative, getting access to the real moments that make the business what it is - meetings, trips, warehouse activity, deliveries, conversations, decisions, problems and wins - and helping turn them into content people actually want to watch. A big part of the role is taking hours of unscripted footage and finding the story inside it. Around 60-70% of the role will initially focus on video editing and storytelling, with the rest covering filming, photography, short-form content, graphics and other creative projects across the wider group. You won’t just be handed a content calendar and told what to post. We want someone with taste, ideas and a point of view - someone who can spot something worth creating before they’re told exactly what to make.

What you’ll be doing

• Reviewing significant volumes of raw, unscripted footage and identifying the moments worth keeping.
• Turning footage into engaging long-form YouTube content and short-form videos.
• Finding the story, shaping the narrative and making sensible decisions around pacing, music, emotion and structure.
• Creating YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and other short-form content.
• Supporting filming days, including basic camera, lighting, sound and framing.
• Taking photographs and creating product photography.
• Creating clean, engaging graphics and campaign assets.
• Spotting content opportunities without waiting for a perfectly written brief.
• Helping develop content across Building Materials Wholesale.
• Supporting creator collaborations and product-led content.
• Creating educational content around building materials, products and applications.
• Creating behind-the-scenes content that shows the people and personalities behind the business.
• Helping showcase what actually happens behind the scenes at Building Materials Wholesale - from our warehouse and operations to sales, deliveries and the people who make the business work.
• Keeping footage, projects, versions and deadlines organised.
• Making sure equipment, sound, footage and final exports are checked properly before delivery.

• Is organised and reliable with files, projects and deadlines.
• Takes feedback well and genuinely improves from it.
• Is comfortable experimenting with different creative approaches and new tools.
