The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is one of the world’s top four botanic gardens based on the quality, breadth and depth of our science, plant collections, public engagement, and education. We now have a new and exciting opportunity for an IT Support Technician to join our Estates & Technical Services department.

Working within a small team, you will be primarily responsible for providing on-site, technical support to the workforce and maintaining IT/AV equipment across all four of our Gardens. This will include delivering our Service Desk for 1st and 2nd line support including remote support to our Regional Gardens and hybrid workers. Administrative duties include maintenance of Active Directory and the IT asset register, developing secure configuration and deployment of end user devices; maintaining, deploying and repairing computer equipment and event AV set up and support. This role will give you the opportunity to expand your knowledge and experience by acting as the main ambassador for digital engagement across all four gardens and participating in a variety of projects around cyber security.

Applicants should have an SVQ Level 3, HNC in a related IT subject or equivalent experience, have excellent communication and customer service skills, be able to work autonomously and manage/prioritise your own workload and be able to deal with staff at all levels.
