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.
The kind of person we’re looking for:
You might be an early-career video editor, content creator, videographer-editor or creative producer who has built a strong portfolio and is ready to take on more ownership.
You’re someone who:
- Has a strong instinct for what makes a video worth watching.
- Can find interesting moments in ordinary conversations and footage.
- Understands that good editing is about storytelling, not just putting clips together.
- Has good visual taste and knows when something feels polished, cheap, forced or generic.
- Understands pacing, music and emotion.
- Is naturally curious about people, businesses and the context behind the content.
- 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.
- Can move comfortably between editing, filming, photography, design and social content.
- Has good emotional intelligence and understands humour, personality and context.
You must be comfortable with:
- A video editing programmes such as CapCut, DaVinci Resolve or similar.
- Canva or comparable design software.
- Instagram.
- iPhone and MacBook workflows.
- Basic AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude or image-generation tools.
It’s useful, but we can teach you:
- YouTube and YouTube Studio.
- TikTok.
- LinkedIn.
- Notion.
- Epidemic Sound or similar music libraries.
- More advanced AI and creative tools.
You don't need previous experience in the building materials industry.
We'll teach you about the products and the business.
What we're looking for is someone with creative instinct, curiosity and the ability to learn quickly.
We care more about evidence of ability than a long list of software on your CV.

● £32,000-£38,000 salary, depending on experience.
● Monday to Friday working week.
● Modern office facilities, including a fully equipped kitchen and coffee machine.
● Employee discounts through Bright HR Exchange

● On-site parking
● Be the first creative hire in a team being built!
