Building Fabric Officer

Temporary, Full-time

The role is fixed term for 12 months.

We are looking for a Building Fabric Officer to join our small and busy Estates Team to deliver minor building fabric projects, building fabric maintenance work, space planning, accommodation changes (Churn), and furniture supply and repair across the National Library of Scotland estate.

The estate comprises eight properties on six sites in Edinburgh and Glasgow, three of which are listed and one of which is “one of the most significant Scottish public buildings of the 1980’s.” The spaces that you will look after range from reading rooms to conservation studios, digitisation suites to offices, a box making facility and of course two hundred kilometres of shelving that stores the National Collection.

What we are looking for -

Someone educated to SCQF Level 8 in a construction / architectural technology related subject who is ideally a member or working to become a member of a recognised building professional body.

You will have experience delivering minor building fabric and space planning / churn projects and be a good communicator, able to engage with a wide variety of stakeholders. You will be a problem solver who enjoys a challenge and a busy environment. To support your work, you will have good IT skills including the use of computer aided design software to produce 2D drawings.

What we can offer you –

If you join us, you’ll become part of one of Scotland’s premier cultural institutions — a National Library that safeguards the country’s memory through its remarkable collections. You’ll have a base in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, close to good transport links and the opportunity to work flexibly and from home where the tasks allow.

We are committed to developing our team. You’ll benefit from a range of training and development opportunities and we will aim to support you to fulfil the requirements of your professional body where you are working to become a member.

We offer generous annual leave, a competitive pension scheme, and, the support of a genuinely great team of colleagues.

Please visit our website for more information and to submit your application.
