The Malco Group, formed through Aspen Pumps Group’s acquisition of Malco Tools in October 2024, is a leading manufacturer and distributor of high-quality HVACR and building construction solutions. Our portfolio includes trusted brands like Malco Tools, ACE Chemicals, C&D Valve and Veto Pro Pac Bags, delivering innovative tools, condensate pumps, cleaning chemicals, and HVACR system components to trade professionals across North America.

Guided by a commitment to excellence, innovation, and sustainability, we empower HVACR professionals with turnkey solutions to enhance efficiency and performance.

The Malco Group is seeking a motivated, detail-oriented Studio Photo & Video Associate to join the in-house Studio & Design team. Reporting to the Studio Production Lead, this role will apply a solid foundation in photography and video production to support day-to-day studio needs, from capture and editing to file preparation and final delivery, for products across The Malco Group’s portfolio, including Malco Tools and other sub-brands.

This role will primarily focus on product photography and day-to-day studio production, while also supporting video and editing projects with opportunities to grow into short-form video and smaller productions. You will work within established brand, lighting, and production standards while learning the studio’s workflows, file-naming conventions, and PIM/DAM systems, with increasing ownership over projects as you grow in the role.

As a member of a cross-functional team, you will support product management, marketing, and sales with reliable, on-brand visual content, and help maintain the quality and consistency of the studio’s growing asset library.

• Capture standard and creative product photography and video (in-studio and on-location) across The Malco Group portfolio, under the direction of the Studio Production Lead. Reproduce established lighting, camera, composition, and post-production standards consistently across products and SKUs.
• Support photo and video projects from setup through delivery, including studio and job-site shoots, standard product stills, and 360 images, while building toward independent ownership of assigned production tasks from intake through final delivery.
• Set up lighting and sets following established brand and lighting standards while contributing creative ideas when appropriate.
• Edit photos, audio, and video using Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Premiere Pro) or equivalent tools, optimizing for web, social, retail, and training formats.
• Correct and process images to meet retail-partner resolution and file specifications, supporting current asset library cleanup.
• Apply established file-naming conventions and organize, tag, and upload finished assets to the studio’s PIM/DAM platform.
• Assist with basic motion graphics and kinetic typography (e.g., lower-thirds, text overlays, and call-outs) using existing templates and brand guidelines.
• Support in-field shoots at job sites, following building-construction PPE and industry safety guidelines.
• Assist with capturing and rough-cut editing of training videos for internal and external audiences.
• Help maintain and organize the photo and video studio, including shoot prep and reset, equipment organization, batteries, media/cards, lighting and audio equipment, product staging, and asset libraries.
• Provide on-site production support at trade shows, events, and influencer shoots as needed.
• Other duties as assigned.

• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in photography,…
