Full-Time/Regular

Join BU’s AV/IT services & support group, Learning & Event Technology Services (LETS), and work with us on a vibrant, dynamic campus that is shaping the future of education! We are looking for a Learning & Event Technology Specialist with a focus on AV repair and maintenance to join our energetic & diverse team.

LETS supports all AV/IT related services across the Charles River campus including AV installation, repair and maintenance and design of new systems. Other staff in the group also support meetings, events and the teaching and learning mission of BU by providing best-in-class support to BU’s faculty and students in their use of classroom technology.

This onsite position entails working evening as needed for uninterrupted access to classrooms and other spaces for diagnostics and repairs. All LETS positions may also entail limited weekend/holiday work. In return, we provide an environment that encourages creativity, collaboration, professional and personal growth, career development, open doors, life‑long friendships, and a sense of purpose topped off with a touch of humor and frequent laughter (& BBQs!)
