Digital Preservation Process Administrator

Permanent, Full Time

Archives New Zealand

Wellington



* Key opportunity to mix technical capability with strong business involvement

* Leading-edge all-of-government programme


Archives New Zealand has a statutory responsibility for the long term storage, preservation and accessibility of digital records.  The Government Digital Archive Programme will transform the way Archives conducts its business, allowing large-scale transfers of digital records and preserving them over the long-term.

The primary focus for the Digital Preservation Process Administrator is to provide business-focused technical support and specialist advice in relation to the ingest of digital transfers and the digital repository.

Our ideal candidate will have a strong technical background in system administration and be used to basic server management and diagnostics. The role supports the overall administration of the digital preservation system and configuration, and works collaboratively with our preservation partner, the National Library of New Zealand.  The Digital Preservation Process Administrator supports deposits to the Digital Repository through the creation of business workflows, resolution and recording of issues relating to the ingest process, and provides technical assistance with preconditioning and preservation actions and analysis. The person in this role will work closely with a team which includes digital preservation and technical analysts, and with business staff managing transfers, restrictions and access.

We're looking for a team player with a strong background working with data repositories, ingest and system configuration and management.  You'll have excellent problem solving, analysis and communication skills, and enjoy working with different parts of the business to make sure that our infrastructure and processes are running smoothly.  This is a busy role, which requires good organisation skills and flexibility, as you'll deal with both well established and emerging processes. Experience in digital preservation management is a distinct advantage.

In return, you'll get to work on an exciting, All-of-Government digital preservation project, that will change the way New Zealanders interact with Government records.
