About FieldWrk & Our Mission

FieldWrk is a mission-first B2B branding agency built for the essential people and companies who build and maintain our world. Our mission is to help hardworking people and companies reach their full potential , starting with our team. We are a strategic agency that offers branding, web design and development, field photo and video production, and digital marketing services. We partner with leaders in civil construction, heavy equipment, waste and environmental services, energy, and critical infrastructure to build brands that work as hard as the people behind them.

About This Role & Its Impact:

Your mission as Sr. Field Videographer, should you choose to accept it: Shoot video and photo that celebrate the people behind hardworking industries, tell impactful stories, and help our clients grow their brand through high-quality production content. NOTE: This role requires about 50% travel and potentially extended days on active jobsites. There will be a paid contract videography project to ensure fit prior to any full-time offer. This role exists to own the visual execution of our video and photo work in the field, in a way that resonates with our industry and delivers on the Creative Director's vision and goals for each piece. You'll act as our field lead for shoots: conducting interviews, working with clients on site, and making sure safe, authentic and meaningful content is captured. The footage and photos you capture become the brand videos, recruiting content, social media and photography our clients use to win work and hire people. We're looking for a Sr. Field Videographer with 3-5 years of videography and photography experience who is ready to lead in the field and wants to grow into a Video Director role at a growing agency.

Key Responsibilities & How You'll Spend Your Time

60% - Production and field lead Lead shoots on active jobsites with safety top of mind. Run the schedule and lead the crew so everyone stays on task, on the creative strategy and safe on site. Shoot video and still photography. Both may be required on smaller projects. Bring scripts and storyboards to life for both documentary and scripted work. When a planned shot isn't possible, find a creative solution that still matches the vision. Lead interviews, put interviewees at ease, and steer conversations toward usable, on-message moments. Direct talent through scripted scenes, checking performance, framing and continuity against the creative. Capture B-roll and coverage that give the edit options, and make quick creative calls when plans change. Manage media on site and log notes for the edit.

20% - Pre-production Work with strategists and Creative/Art Directors to unpack briefs and align on vision, references and key messages. Build mood boards, visual treatments and shot lists for each project. For commercial work, create storyboards. For documentary work, conduct pre-interviews and help hone the messaging and scripting. Work with the Head of Production and production team to lock in logistics and equipment needs that match the creative vision. Prep, test and pack equipment before each shoot, including charging batteries and formatting cards.

20% - Post-production and team Write up shoot notes and lead shoot debriefs to prepare the editors and team for post. Create work orders: paper edits for documentary pieces, circle takes for scripted content, and all technical and creative specifications. Work with our Sr. Editor and Editor to sharpen edits before internal and client review, and suggest creative solutions to notes and feedback. Advise on in-house gear purchases and maintain our equipment inventory. Pitch ideas for new formats, stories and visual approaches, and stay current on video trends, platforms, techniques and equipment.

Your First 90 Days:

By 30 days: You've onboarded into FieldWrk, our production process, and the way our industry shoots video and photo. Ideally, you've gone on 2-3 shoots as our lead videographer. By 60 days: You're independently supporting pre-production where appropriate and leading the production phase of our video and photo work. You've leaned into post-production too, finding efficiencies and suggesting improvements to our workflow. By 90 days: You own the vision. You're leading teams in the field and in post, with a clear point of view on our video and photo offering. You've seen 3-5 projects through to delivery on schedule, on budget, and with positive feedback from clients and peers.
