Woodworking/YouTube Support Specialist - Fix This Build That

About the Role

We're looking for a hybrid specialist: someone who is equal parts maker, designer, and content creator. This person will design the builds that appear in Brad's YouTube videos, serve as hands-on crew on shoot days, produce polished sellable build plans that become a direct revenue stream for FTBT.

The ideal candidate may be someone who tried to build their own YouTube channel. You understand how content works from the inside, you've been in a shop, and you taught yourself SketchUp because you needed it, not because someone assigned it. You model before you build, you've sold or given away plans, and you're as comfortable adjusting a camera as you are adjusting a design. If that sounds like you, we want to talk.

Key Responsibilities

On-Set Production Support

This is a core part of the role — not an occasional add-on.

• Serve as hands-on crew on shoot days: camera operation, lighting setup, and physical build staging
• Handle set setup and teardown alongside Brad — this is an active, physical role on production days
• Support smooth shoot execution so the Producer can focus on coordination and Brad can focus exclusively on performance

Build Design & Pre-Production

• Design the builds featured in Brad's YouTube videos — taking them from initial concept sketch through completed 3D model
• Create dimensioned drawings, cut lists, and material specifications that translate cleanly to the shop floor
• Serve as the design bridge between Brad's creative idea and a buildable, shop-realistic reality
• Work directly with Brad and the producer during pre-production to pressure-test designs before filming begins

Sellable Build Plans

• Produce polished, publication-quality build plans for sale as digital products (PDF, SKP formats) using the FTBT standard process and framework
• Ensure plans are beginner-accessible, visually clear, and monetization-ready — annotated with step-by-step instructions, exploded views, and complete material lists
• Manage the design-to-sale pipeline for digital products, including version updates and customer-facing documentation

3D Modeling & Visualization

• Create photorealistic 3D renders and walkthroughs of planned builds for use in thumbnails, plan previews, and sponsor presentations
• Model projects before they're built to surface design issues and generate compelling preview content
• Leverage AI-assisted render tools (within SketchUp or Fusion 360) to accelerate visual content output

Social Media Visual Assets

• Design and produce visual assets for social platforms: short-form 3D renders, process animations, thumbnail concepts, cut-list graphics, and build reveal content
• Create content specifically for Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and YouTube Shorts formats — focused on asset creation, not strategy or posting
• Collaborate with the video editor and the producer to ensure design assets are ready to support video launches and plan sales

What We're Looking For

Woodworking & Fabrication

• Genuine hands-on woodworking experience — you've built things, not just designed them
• Understanding of joinery, construction sequences, and material properties (lumber, sheet goods, hardware)
• Ability to read and produce clean technical drawings that tradespeople can follow
• CNC / digital fabrication familiarity is a strong plus
• Physically capable of working on an active production set — setup, teardown, camera operation

3D Modeling & Design

• Proficiency in SketchUp and/or Fusion 360 (Fusion 360 parametric modeling strongly preferred)
• Ability to produce dimensioned, annotated drawings with accurate cut lists and BOMs
• 3D rendering skills for visualization, content, and plan previews

Production & Camera

• Comfort operating a camera and working with basic lighting setups on a production set
• Familiarity with shoot-day workflow — how a filming day is structured and what crew support looks like

Social Media & Content

• Platform literacy across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Pinterest — you know what performs and why
• Experience producing short-form visual content natively for these platforms
• Graphic design proficiency for digital products

Mindset & Working Style

• Self-directed: you don't wait to be told what to do next
• Detail-obsessed: your plans are accurate because you care, not because someone checked them
• Content-native: you understand that every design decision is also a content decision
• Collaborative: you thrive working closely with a talent-led team and a producer, not as a solo operator
• Passion-driven over formally trained: we'd rather see a portfolio of things you built and designed than a credential

Tools We Use

• SketchUp and/or Fusion 360 for 3D modeling and plan generation
• Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Premiere) for design and content
• Canva for social template production
• Shopify for digital plan sales
• Asana for project management
• Slack for team communication
• Google Suite (Calendar, Drive, Docs) for planning and documentation
• Camera and lighting equipment (Sony, Canon, or similar; specific kit varies by shoot)

Benefits:

• Work closely with a successful YouTuber (4M followers)
• Be part of building and scaling a media company
• Competitive compensation based on experience
• Creative, collaborative work environment
