• Media ingest:
  Copy media off camera cards and audio recorders, verify checksums, and ensure nothing is lost or corrupted in transfer.
• Backups:
  Create and maintain redundant backups of all incoming media following established procedures; confirm the integrity of every copy before cards are wiped.
• Ingest & transcode:
  Bring media into the relevant project, transcode and create proxies/offline media as required, and conform footage to the correct editorial specs.
• Sync mapping:
  Build sync maps and group clips for editors — matching picture to audio, organising multicam, and labelling clearly.
• Project organisation:
  Keep bins, folders, and naming conventions tidy and consistent so editors can find anything quickly.
• Storage & backups:
  Help manage shared storage and archive workflows, monitor capacity, and flag issues before they become problems.

• Hands-on experience with Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro
• Confident supporting editors across all stages of the edit
• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
• Calm, proactive, and able to work to tight deadlines
