Due to the need for additional resources within the Directorate for Science at its Headquarters in Garching, near Munich, Germany, ESO is advertising the position of Document Management Specialist.

ESO's Information Repository team, part of the Library, Documentation and Information Services (LDIS) department, oversees the organisational-wide document management system and is composed of the Information Repository Manager and the Information Systems Specialist. The team operates across the entire organisation, collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders, including project management, engineering, operations, science, corporate, and administrative units.

The Information Repository acts as ESO's central documentation system, ensuring that all documentation is controlled, up-to-date, accessible, preserved, and auditable throughout its lifecycle. It encourages standardised practices and governed processes for document creation, review, approval, distribution, retention, and archival.

The ESO Information Repository is designed to integrate with, and complement, other enterprise platforms (ERP, MAXIMO, CAD Vault), enabling interoperability, data consistency, and end-to-end traceability and plays a crucial role in the establishment of ESO's cohesive digital systems landscape.
