About The Position

Bigge Crane and Rigging is seeking a hands-on, one-person Content Producer to create video and photo content that showcases the crane industry, Bigge’s projects, equipment, and employees. The producer independently plans, shoots, edits, and publishes videos from start to finish, working at active job sites and Bigge yards, including locations around the country. The marketing lead sets the content calendar and helps plan video messaging, while the producer is responsible for the shots and production.

The role also owns Bigge’s social channels, manages paid social advertising, tracks organic and paid performance, and prepares reports and recommendations. Content may include project and heavy-lift features, equipment arrivals, employee and leadership interviews, recruiting videos, tutorials, and cinematic crane footage. The producer adapts material for social, web, and customer-facing use, captures still photos, secures required approvals, and organizes the media library. Bigge provides production equipment, including a drone, DJI Osmo handheld gimbal camera, and editing software, with additional gear as needed. Crane or heavy-equipment experience is not required; the company will teach the industry.
