Experience with Fusion and Fairlight is advantageous but not absolutely necessary.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for people who are:

• Reliable If you commit to a project and deadlines, we need to know you’ll deliver. Missed deadlines can have significant consequences for our clients and wider production schedule.
• Proactive You don’t simply wait for feedback. You identify weaknesses in a story, suggest improvements and solve problems independently.
• Story-Driven You can turn hours of interviews into a concise, compelling narrative. You understand what to include, but more importantly exclude, to make every second count.
• Detail-Oriented You notice small things: awkward cuts, inconsistent audio, poor pacing, spelling errors and visual distractions.
• Independent You can take a creative brief and confidently work towards a finished product without requiring constant direction.
• Open to Feedback You can receive constructive criticism professionally and implement changes without becoming defensive. You understand that the objective is to create the best possible outcome.
• Calm Under Pressure Deadlines can change, feedback can arrive late and projects sometimes require a quick turnaround. You remain composed and communicate clearly.

Experience

We’re looking for experienced editors who have a proven track record of delivering professional videos.

Ideally, you’ll have:

• 3+ years of professional video editing experience, or an equivalent portfolio demonstrating senior-level ability.
• Extensive experience using DaVinci Resolve.
• A strong portfolio of commercial video work.
• Experience editing interview-led documentary style videos.
• Sufficient colour correction, audio and sound design skills.
• Experience managing multiple projects and deadlines.
• Experience working independently with limited supervision.
• Experience collaborating with directors, producers and other editors.
• Previous experience editing content for construction, architecture, property and design industries is beneficial but not essential.

Useful Skills

The following are advantageous but not all required:

• Advanced DaVinci Resolve knowledge.
• Experience editing footage from Sony FX3, FX6 and other professional cinema cameras.
• Experience editing multicam interviews.
• Experience creating documentary-style films.
• Experience working with architectural and construction footage.
• Experience editing longer-form Youtube content.

Equipment & Technical Requirements

As this is primarily a remote freelance role, you must have access to a professional editing setup capable of handling demanding video projects.

This includes:

• DaVinci Resolve Studio.
• A computer capable of smoothly editing 4K, h.265, 10-bit footage.
• A reliable, high-speed internet connection.
• Sufficient local storage for active projects (~300GB)

You must be comfortable working with high-resolution footage and following our data management and security procedures.

Typical Editing Project

Depending on the production, a typical project might involve receiving a creative brief, accessing the footage through our shared storage system, reviewing interviews and transcripts, identifying key themes and developing a narrative structure.

You'll then build an initial rough cut, select suitable supporting footage, refine the pacing and storytelling, and prepare the film for internal review.

Following feedback, you'll develop the edit further, complete the sound design, colour correction and graphics, and prepare a polished version for client review.

You'll implement any agreed revisions before exporting the final deliverables and ensuring the project is properly organised and backed up.

Some projects may require quick turnarounds, while others may involve several weeks of editing and collaboration.

Quality Standards

At OneMountain Media, we place significant importance on the quality of our work. We deliver a 100% ready to go product upon 1st Cut Delivery.

We are expected to do our client’s businesses and projects justice. Your role is to do the footage justice.

This means:

• Every edit should have a clear purpose and narrative.
• Music should support the story and reflect personalities and project look.
• Interview narratives should flow naturally.
• Colour grading should be cohesive.
• Cuts and transitions should feel intentional.
• All files should be checked before delivery.

We don’t expect perfection whilst in draft, but we do expect a high attention to detail and ownership upon delivery.

What We Provide

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Work on high-quality commercial video productions.
• Edit project films, short documentary-style videos, case studies and brand films.
• Work directly with our Director, Laurens Koster, and develop long-term working relationships with our production team.
• Work on projects that document the UK’s largest and most interesting buildings and developments.
• Receive clear briefs, organised footage and constructive feedback.
• Grow into more senior creative or post-production responsibilities over time.

We're particularly interested in building relationships with reliable editors we can work with repeatedly, rather than simply outsourcing individual projects.

Freelance Availability

This is primarily a freelance/project-based position, with work offered depending on our production schedule.

We're looking to build a trusted network of Senior Video Editors who can regularly support our post-production workload.

The Person We're Looking For

Above everything else, we're looking for someone who is dependable, creatively ambitious, proactive and enjoyable to work with.

We want editors who care about the final result, take ownership of their work and understand that great storytelling is at the heart of what we do.

Technical skills are important, but so are reliability, communication, attention to detail and a willingness to continually improve.

We're not looking for someone who simply follows instructions and assembles footage.

We're looking for someone who thinks like a filmmaker, edits like a storyteller and takes responsibility like a senior professional.

If you're interested in creating high-quality films for the construction and built-environment industry, we'd like to hear from you.
