Join us at the British Library and play a major part in our efforts to preserve the nation’s sound heritage for everyone. We’re looking for a knowledgeable Electronics Engineer with excellent experience of analogue and digital audiovisual equipment repair.
The Sound and Audiovisual Electronics Engineer manages the maintenance and provision of replay and digitisation equipment. This is a key role in the operations of the Sound & Vision Technical Services team, supporting the preservation of the sound and moving image collections.
As one of the world’s great libraries, our duty is to preserve the nation’s intellectual memory for the future and make it available to all for research, inspiration and enjoyment. At present we have well over 170 million items, in most known languages, with three million new items added every year. We have manuscripts, maps, newspapers, magazines, prints and drawings, music scores, and patents. We make our collections and programmes available to all. We operate the world’s largest document delivery service providing millions of items a year to customers all over the world. What matters to us is that we preserve the national memory and enable knowledge to be created both now and in the future by anyone, anywhere.
In return we offer a competitive salary and a number of excellent benefits. Our pension scheme is one of the most valuable benefits we offer, as our staff can become members of the Alpha Pension Scheme where the Library contributes a minimum of 26.6% (this may be higher dependant on grade). Another significant benefit the Library provides is the provision of a flexible working hours scheme which could allow you to work your hours flexibly over the week and to take up to 5 days flexi leave in a 3 month period. This is on top of 25 days holiday from entry and public and privilege holidays.
