This role is focused on capturing and telling the real stories of our teams, our work, and our communities.

This is not a desk job. You will spend a significant amount of time in the field documenting day-to-day operations, interacting with crews, and capturing real moments as they happen.

• Develop a wide variety of content styles, from fun and creative to professional and educational


• Independently plan, shoot, and execute video concepts with minimal direction


• Identify and pursue content opportunities proactively in both field and office settings


• Interact with team members to help them feel comfortable and natural on camera

Video Production & Editing

• Handle full video production process from concept to final delivery


• Edit video content including pacing, storytelling, color correction, and audio cleanup


• Deliver polished, ready-to-post content across multiple platforms


• Repurpose content into multiple formats (reels, shorts, longer videos, etc.)

Platform & Content Awareness

• Create content tailored for platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube


• Understand what makes content engaging, watchable, and effective


• Adapt content style and format based on platform and audience

Brand Collaboration

• Support multiple companies under the Northstar Summit umbrella


• Maintain a consistent, high-quality brand feel while adapting tone as needed


• Collaborate with leadership to align content with marketing and growth initiatives

Field Environment Expectations

• Work comfortably in active job site environments (construction, mechanical, outdoor, etc.)


• Travel locally throughout Eastern Idaho as needed


• Operate efficiently without disrupting crews or workflow

People & Culture Fit

• Build strong rapport with field and office teams


• Bring positive energy and a team-first attitude


• Help guide team members on camera in a natural, authentic way


• Take pride in highlighting skilled trades and the people behind the work

Equipment & Technical Skills

• Experience with professional camera, audio, and lighting equipment


• Ability to manage, organize, and maintain media files


• Drone experience is a plus

Qualifications

• Proven experience in videography and video editing


• Ability to work independently and take ownership of projects


• Strong storytelling instincts and creative vision


• Comfortable working in dynamic, fast-moving environments

Bonus Skills

• Photography (for marketing, ads, and website use)


• Basic graphic design or thumbnail creation
