Drone Filming Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Title: Senior Project Manager - Video & Photography 
Company: Tampa Electric Company 
State and City: Florida - Tampa
Shift: 8 Hr. X 5 Days

Tampa Electric is seeking a creative, strategic, and highly skilled Senior Project Manager - Video & Photography to lead the development and execution of compelling visual storytelling across our organization.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced multimedia professional who thrives on bringing stories to life through video, photography, podcasts, and digital content. You'll own projects from concept through completion while helping communicate the impact of our people, operations, innovation, and community involvement across our service area.

Unlike many corporate creative roles, this position offers the opportunity to work both in studio and in the field, capturing content at company facilities, community events, executive engagements, customer programs, and major operational initiatives throughout West Central Florida.

• Manage end-to-end multimedia projects, from concept development and planning through production, post-production, and final delivery.
• Develop project schedules, budgets, and production plans while ensuring timelines and business objectives are met.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders, leadership, vendors, and creative partners to deliver high-quality multimedia solutions.
• Provide project updates and proactively manage production challenges and priorities.

• Serve as Tampa Electric's lead videographer and photographer.
• Capture, edit, and produce professional-quality content for marketing campaigns, executive communications, employee communications, social media, and corporate storytelling.
• Apply advanced editing techniques including motion graphics, visual effects, color correction, and audio enhancement.
• Ensure all creative work aligns with brand standards and strategic messaging.

During your first year, you'll have the opportunity to produce and support projects such as:

• Innovate technology feature videos
• Round table podcast productions
• Community event coverage and social media content
• Executive and organizational storytelling initiatives

• Manage podcast recording sessions in both studio and remote environments.
• Produce, edit, and enhance podcast episodes with professional-quality audio and sound design.
• Collaborate with communications teams to optimize content for web, intranet, and social media channels.

• Provide expertise on photography, videography, aerial content, and multimedia best practices.
• Manage and maintain digital assets through the organization's digital asset management platform.
• Coordinate with vendors and agencies supporting larger video productions.
• Plan and execute drone operations in compliance with FAA requirements and company safety standards.

This is not a traditional office-based creative position.

While Tampa Electric operates in a hybrid environment, this role regularly works throughout our service territory capturing stories, events, infrastructure projects, employee experiences, community initiatives, and executive communications. One day you may be producing content in a studio environment, and the next you may be filming on location or capturing aerial footage in the field.

If you enjoy variety, creative autonomy, and meaningful storytelling, this role offers exceptional opportunities to make an impact.

Our team has access to a wide range of professional multimedia production equipment and facilities, including:

• Canon and Panasonic camera systems
• DJI drone and action camera platforms
• Professional Sony, Shure, Rode, and DJI audio equipment
• Dedicated video and photography studio with lighting, backdrops, teleprompter, and production resources
• Dedicated podcast studio with professional recording and editing capabilities
• Professional lighting equipment for studio and location production
• Industry-leading editing and creative software

• Bachelor's degree in Film, Media Production, Communications, or a related field.
• In lieu of a Bachelors Degree, an additional 2 years of experience with an Associates degree or an additional 4 years with a High School diploma or equivalent may be considered.

• Minimum of six (6) years of experience in video production, photography, and post-production within a corporate, agency, media, or similar professional environment.
• Proven experience managing multimedia projects from concept through completion.

Advanced proficiency in:

• Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or similar editing platforms
• Adobe After Effects
• Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom
• Adobe Illustrator
• Adobe Audition, Pro Tools, or similar audio-editing software
• Professional camera, lighting, and audio systems
• Digital content creation and social media best practices

• FAA Part 107 Drone Certification required or ability to obtain certification within two years of hire.

• Strong portfolio demonstrating high-quality, brand-driven visual storytelling
• Experience producing corporate communications and executive messaging content
• Experience with multi-camera productions and live recording environments
• Experience managing agency and vendor relationships
• Podcast production and editing experience
• Experience with drone videography and photography
• Demonstrated success working with stakeholders at all organizational levels

A portfolio, demo reel, or link to work samples is preferred for consideration.

Strong candidates will demonstrate:

• Original videography and photography work
• Effective visual storytelling
• Professional editing and post-production skills
• Successful use of music, sound, graphics, and motion elements
• Engaging explainer videos, marketing content, or commercial-style productions

This position operates in a fast-paced environment with occasional evening, weekend, on-call, and after-hours responsibilities, particularly during storm response and major company events.

If you're passionate about visual storytelling, creative innovation, and producing content that makes a meaningful impact in the communities we serve, we'd love to hear from you.
