- Carry out basic maintenance and troubleshooting on edit workstations (Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, Da Vinci Resolve) and peripheral equipment.
- Run secure data backups and transfers to protocol – protecting the integrity and redundancy of every project’s media across LTO, NAS and cloud.
- Ingest, media‑manage, sync and prep rushes.
- Obtain, ingest, transcode and convert all forms of media files for edit.
- Keep media management accurate and detailed to the highest standard.
- Stay across new and evolving technologies and workflows.
- Keep the edit suites neat and tidy, every day.
- Responsibilities may be amended, added to or removed to reflect the changing needs of the production or the organisation.

- Excellent attention to detail and quality‑control skills.
- Confident people and communication skills, and a problem‑solving instinct.
- Up‑to‑date knowledge of new industry technologies.
- A BONUS, NOT A DEAL‑BREAKER
