Title:
Video Production and Training Support Specialist

Location: 100% on site in Everett, WA

Duration: 12 month contract

Pay Rate: $40/hr

A client in Everett, WA is looking to add a hands-on Video Production and Training Support Specialist to produce high-quality video recordings of technical training sessions to provide administrative support to the training organization. This role combines on-set video shooting, producing and editing with training coordination tasks (scheduling, LMS content updates, reporting). The ideal candidate is comfortable working in technical environments, translating instructor-led content into clear video deliverables and managing the logistical and administrative work that keeps the training program running smoothly.

Key responsibilities

• Plan, shoot, and produce multi-camera recordings of instructor-led technical training sessions in classroom, lab, or shop environments.

• Capture high-quality audio and on-camera interviews; set up and maintain lighting and grip as required.

• Edit video footage into polished deliverables (micro-lessons, full sessions, highlight reels, transcripts/captions) optimized for e-learning and internal distribution.

• Add motion graphics, lower thirds, chapter markers, and basic visual effects to enhance learner comprehension.

• Generate captions and transcripts to meet accessibility requirements.

• Manage video assets: ingest footage, tag and organize media, back up raw and finished assets per retention policies.

• Support Learning Management System (LMS) administration: upload media, create/update course pages, set enrollments, and manage permissions.

• Coordinate training logistics: schedule sessions with instructors and facilities, organize participant registrations, prepare course materials, and handle equipment checklists.

• Track training metrics and produce administrative reports (attendance, completion, learner feedback) and support continuous improvement efforts.

• Maintain and manage production equipment inventory (cameras, mics, lights, storage) and request repairs or replacements when needed.

• Follow safety, security, and technical documentation standards; work with subject matter experts to ensure technical accuracy.

• Occasionally support live-streaming or hybrid sessions and troubleshoot live AV issues.

Core competencies & skills

• Video production workflow: pre-production planning, on-set execution, post-production, and delivery.

• Strong attention to detail and quality control for both audiovisual production and administrative records.

• Basic motion graphics and audio mixing skills.

• Comfortable managing digital asset libraries and metadata.

• Customer-service mindset and collaborative approach when working with instructors and training staff.

Required qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on video production experience (shooting and editing), preferably with experience in educational, corporate training, or technical environments.

• Proficient with NLE tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or similar; experience with After Effects, Audition, or comparable software for graphics/audio is strongly preferred.

• Strong knowledge of camera operation (DSLR, mirrorless, or professional camcorders), lenses, audio capture (wireless lavs, boom, shotgun), and lighting fundamentals.

• Experience producing deliverables for online learning: micro-learning videos, captions, chaptering, and multi-format exports.

• Practical LMS experience (uploading content, creating courses, setting enrollments) — systems such as Cornerstone, SuccessFactors, Canvas, Moodle, or equivalent.

• Excellent organizational and communication skills; able to coordinate with instructors, SMEs, and learners.

• Ability to work independently, prioritize concurrent tasks, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

• Able to lift and carry production gear and work on your feet for extended shoots.

Preferred qualifications

• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Film/Video Production, Multimedia, Instructional Design, Communications, or related field.

• Experience with instructional design principles, adult learning theory, or authoring tools such as Articulate Storyline, Camtasia, or Captivate.

• Experience with live streaming platforms and hardware-based streaming encoders.

• Prior experience in aerospace, manufacturing, or other highly technical industries.

• Familiarity with accessibility standards (e.g., ADA, Section 508) and best practices for captioning and alternative formats.
