Photographer and Videographer
The Urban Electric Co., North Charleston, South Carolina, United States, 29405
Overview
Who We Are
At The Urban Electric Co., we recruit and retain highly skilled and passionate individuals. Our culture attracts a wide variety of personalities and backgrounds to create an eclectic and fun atmosphere. Each of our products is bench-made and hand-finished at our 180,000 sq. ft. headquarters in Charleston, which houses engineers, sales and marketing professionals, designers, and craftsmen. We pride ourselves on manufacturing processes that secure the growth and sustainability of artisanal craft for the future by using modern techniques that enhance the hand-build approach rather than replace it.
Who You Are We are seeking a naturally talented Photographer & Videographer to capture the spirit of Urban Electric through still photography and video. This role requires an editorial, photojournalistic eye, with the ability to contribute to stylized photography projects. You will document the life of our shop—its people, processes and events—with an artistic lens that aligns with our brand position. This role also involves organizing and managing all photography and video assets, assisting with photo editing, and facilitating sharing across internal teams and digital platforms. You should be capable of and willing to travel and carry heavy equipment, set up gear, and assist with shoot prep as needed. The ideal candidate has a positive attitude, is flexible and collaborative, has a keen sense for visual storytelling, and is eager to jump in on projects as they arise, whether it’s an impromptu shoot around the shop, a client-facing event, or content creation for our digital channels. Experience shooting both stills and video, with proficiency in editing short films for web and social media, is a must.
