Job Description

Your responsibilities

Are you a recent graduate in civil engineering eager to gain hands-on experience in a multicultural environment? This Civil and Land Surveying Engineer position could be your opportunity to join CERN’s dynamic Site and Civil Engineering (SCE) Geomatics team within the Site Asset Management (SAM) group.

The SCE Geomatics team surveys, collects, manages, and publishes all geographical information relating to CERN’s infrastructure and equipment. The team works in close collaboration with the Design Office to provide data and drawings for civil engineering projects.

As a Civil Engineer specialized in Land Surveying, you will be responsible for:

• Performing network analysis on the sewer system (using SWMM software). This includes data management related to the network: field survey, data cleaning, and implementation of processes and rules with GIS software (ArcGIS Pro).
• Conducting laser scanning operations required for the Technical Gallery Consolidation Project: writing technical specifications, calculating the survey reference network, and controlling the delivery.
• Setting up and carrying out civil works monitoring (auscultation).
• Implementing data control, updates, and management processes for all “Patrimony” data.

You will work closely with the department’s geomatics and civil engineers and technicians.

About us

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter – fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern.

Diversity has been an integral part of CERN’s mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
