You will be a part of a team of three staff focussed on delivering a quality photographic and digitisation service of material in the archive, for external users, as well as internal business needs. You will receive training in archival photography techniques, scanning, studio photography, workflows, application of software programmes, archive handling and historic photography methods. You will gain considerable insight into the role photography and digitisation plays in preservation and access, and how to apply sector standards and good practice to achieve this.

This post will be part of a wider programme of Conservation Traineeships. Trainees will have the opportunity to gain experience in their chosen field of conservation, increase knowledge of the wider conservation sector, expand their professional network and have access to a wide range of learning resources and opportunities from the Engine Shed, Scotland’s dedicated Building Conservation Centre.

Benefits of joining us at Historic Environment Scotland

Enrolment onto a Civil Service Pension scheme – 28% employer contribution
25 days annual leave, pro-rata (increasing to 30 days after 3 years) + 11.5 public holidays

Free entry to all of our properties (with up to three guests)
Free entry to English Heritage, Manx and Cadw properties

Key Responsibilities of this role

This is a training and development role for someone starting their career in the digital heritage sector which will build on basic knowledge and give opportunities to learn. All appropriate training and equipment will be provided.

Supporting the delivery of the digitisation of HES’s archive material and archiving resultant files to agreed and documented standards to ensure preservation.
Liaising with the Conservation team to ensure safe handling of material.
Understanding and following good practice and standards in digitisation, including workflows, image capture, metadata, storage and retrieval.
Assist with the maintenance of equipment.
Assist with project planning, assembling performance indicators, monitoring and purchasing materials when required.

For this role, you will be based at John Sinclair House, Edinburgh. During your traineeship, you will have the opportunity to work across different teams within HES, attend site visits and assist on outreach projects.

All travel expenses will be covered for additional travel from your base location (John Sinclair House), and all necessary training and equipment will be provided. Please note your standard commute will be at your own expense.
