Your roles will be varied, exciting, and offer enough challenges to keep you on your toes. One day you may be capturing drone footage of birds of prey swooping over the forest canopy, the next you may be creating an animation to tell a heartwarming story from the sanctuary. You’ll be surrounded by beautiful nature, with the Portuguese forest as your playground, getting inspiration from the sights, sounds, and smells around you.
