📋 Job Description:
We’re looking for a full-time entry-level Social Media & Marketing Assistant to join our team. This isn’t just a desk job — you’ll be outside snapping photos, riding along for deliveries, and capturing real content of equipment in action.

  • Take photos of shop/yard activity for internal newsletters or posts
  • Support community events (schools, fairs, charity events)

📣 Advertising Support

  • Boost posts and track spend on Facebook/Instagram ads
  • Help monitor basic ad performance (reach, clicks)
  • Coordinate giveaways or promos (ex: “Share this post to win a hat”)

Photo & Video

  • Take pictures and short videos of equipment, deliveries, and events
  • Capture real “in the yard” content
  • Capture real "on the job" content
  • Cover local events (fairs, demo days, open houses) with live posts
  • Organize photos and videos so they’re easy to find later

📸 Relevant Skills:

  • Basic photography skills (able to frame, focus, and capture clear photos)
  • Comfortable shooting short video clips for social media
  • Knows how to use a DSLR, mirrorless, or even high-quality smartphone camera
  • Able to do light editing (cropping, color adjustments, trimming video)
  • A creative eye for showcasing equipment, people, and events

Website & Marketing Support

  • Update website photos and banners when promotions change
  • Help with basic marketing tasks (flyers, simple graphics, or giveaways)
  • Track and organize marketing files
  • Update inventory on the website & other subsidiary websites

What We’re Looking For:

  • Entry-level candidate with an interest in marketing and social media
  • Not afraid to be outside, around equipment, and in the action
  • Comfortable with social platforms (posting, reels, stories)
  • Good communication and people skills
  • Organized and able to follow a schedule
  • Basic computer knowledge (Excel, Word, Outlook, Adobe Suite)
  • A creative eye is helpful, but formal experience isn’t required
💰 Pay:
Starting at $20/hour (higher with relevant experience)

🎁 Benefits:

  • Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance
  • Life Insurance
  • 401(k) with Company Match
  • Paid Time Off
  • Bonus Structure

This is an entry-level job with good benefits and room to grow. If you’re dependable, enjoy social media, and want a hands-on role where you won’t be stuck behind a desk, we’d like to talk to you.
