Company Description

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

Job Description

Introduction

Do you have several years of experience in mechanical work coordination? If you think that worksite coordination in particles accelerators environment is a challenge and a real opportunity, you should definitely seize this opportunity! CERN, take part!

As part of the coordination team of the EN-Accelerator Coordination and Engineering group (ACE), you will be in charge of coordinating the worksite interventions in accelerators during programmed stops, including safety aspects.

You will join:

• The Engineering Department which provides CERN with the engineering competences, infrastructure systems and technical coordination required for the design, installation, operation, maintenance and dismantling phases of the CERN accelerator complex and its experimental facilities.
• The EN-ACE Group, responsible for providing overarching project coordination, work and safety for the accelerator complex; providing support and expertise in matters relating to projects, risks and quality management as well as organizational processes.
• The Coordination, Consignation and Support for accelerators section within the ACE group, which is responsible to provide accelerator support, worksite coordination on injectors and LHC and organization of the electrical “lock-in/lock-out” for the LHC machine.

Functions

As a Metallic workshop and worksite supervisor, you will:

• Interface between clients and workshop team
• Advise technically the clients to find the most appropriate solution.
• Coordinate the mechanical and welding activities of the workshop
• Follow-up on site installation and maintenance activities for the different accelerators, ensuring all activities are carried out within agreed overall schedule.
• Identify and resolve conflicting co?activity issues with the stakeholders concerned.
• In collaboration with the operational safety advisor and relevant project safety officers, verify that the relevant safety rules and procedures are applied.
• Ensure the on-site logistics and space management.
• Report to the workshop responsible.

Experience:

The experience required for this position is:

• Professional experience in supervision of mechanical works with coactivity,
• Proven experience in managing safety issues,
• Experience in the coordination of work with different companies and the preparation of technical documentation and quotations,
• Professional knowledge in metallic structures.
• Production of 2D drawings or 3D models would be an asset.

Technical competencies:

• Assembly of mechanical structures and equipment with different joining techniques,
• Manufacturing of mechanical parts,
• Organisation, planning and control with tools such as Microsoft Project and Microsoft Office,
• Interpretation of 2D drawings and 3D models.

Behavioural competencies:

• Demonstrating Accountability:
  • Working conscientiously and reliably; delivering on promises.
• Working in Teams:
  • Acknowledging the contribution of colleagues; recognizing their limitations and offering support to overcome their difficulties,
  • Building and maintaining constructive and effective work relationships.
