The Professional Builder

About us
The Professional Builder (TPB) coaches residential building company owners across Current Zealand, Australia, the United States and Canada. We help builders run profitable companies and get their evenings and weekends back.

Website: theprofessionalbuilder.com

Our in-house media team produces content for TPB's own brand. Through our agency arm, we also make video for member building companies who want to become the builder of choice in their area. We're growing that agency side, and we need a dedicated editor to grow with it.

The role
This is a full-time, fully remote position. The bulk of your week will go to agency work for our building company clients. That work includes:

- Director's videos
- Client testimonials filmed in homes our members built
- Build walkthroughs
- Short ad-ready cutdowns for social

We'll also call on you for other edits as they come up. These include VSLs, ads, event and summit footage, and social content for the TPB brand. If you like variety and can switch between a two-minute brand film and a fifteen-second ad in the same afternoon, you'll fit in well here.

What you'll do

- Edit footage from our shoots and external videographers into finished videos that match the brief and the client's brand.
- Build motion graphics, lower thirds, titles and animated text that look clean and considered.
- Choose B-roll that matches what's being said on screen. If a builder is talking about framing, the viewer should be looking at framing.
- Check every video before it leaves your hands for spelling, names, logos, audio levels, colour and export settings.
- Work from scripts and briefs, and spot the gaps before they turn into revisions.
- Keep projects,



files and versions organised so anyone on the team can pick up where you left off.

What you'll need

- Strong skills in Adobe Premiere Pro, plus working knowledge of the wider Adobe suite (After Effects especially).
- Solid motion graphics ability. Please show this in your portfolio.
- Excellent spelling and grammar. On-screen text errors are the fastest way to lose a client's trust. You should also be comfortable switching between NZ/AU and US spelling depending on the market.
- Good judgement when a brief is thin. We want someone who reads between the lines, makes a sensible call, and flags it, rather than waiting for instructions or guessing.
- Reliability with deadlines and clear, prompt communication in a remote team.
- Overlap with New Zealand business hours

Nice to have

- Experience editing for residential construction, property development or property marketing.
- An understanding of how builders talk about their work: stages of a build, trades, materials and site safety.
- Experience cutting ads for Meta or YouTube.

This role probably isn't for you if...

- You need every shot choice spelled out before you start.
- You treat quality control as someone else's job.
- You haven't edited motion graphics work you'd be happy to show us.

Pay
AU$3500-4500/month. Remote work from anywhere, with the stability of a full-time role in a growing team.

How to apply
Send us:

- A link to your portfolio or showreel. Applications without one won't be considered.
- A short email, no more than a few paragraphs, telling us which piece in your portfolio you're proudest of and why.
- Start your note with the word "Foundations" so we know you read this far.
- Your CV/Resume
