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: The Magnets, Superconductors and Cryostats (MSC) group of the Technology Department (TE) has the mandate to design, construct and measure the superconducting and normal conducting magnets for the CERN accelerator complex, to integrate them in the CERN accelerator complex, to design and procure the magnet cryostats and to perform the magnet quality control. The group also provides support to operation of the accelerators for magnets, magnet performance, devices (current leads). The Normal Conducting Magnets Section (NCM) is responsible for the design, construction, commissioning, maintenance, and upgrade of the normal conducting magnets for present and future CERN accelerators and beam lines. Join a great team ensuring the reliable operation and the upgrade of all normal conducting magnets on the CERN site. Discover more about our normal conducting magnets section HERE. Functions: As an electro-mechanical technician in the NCM section, you will participate in the consolidation of the about 5000 normal conducting magnets installed in the CERN accelerators complex and manufacturing of new magnet components and prototypes. You will: - Develop and procure tools and required infrastructure for the production of magnet components and prototypes. - Participate in the development and manufacture of new electro-magnets and permanent magnets. - Provide support and participate in the treatment of the normal conducting magnets in the CERN workshops (this includes testing, measurements and interpretation of the results) - Perform maintenance operations on accelerator magnets in the workshops and in the accelerator complex Qualifications: Higher technical diploma or equivalent relevant experience in the field of Electromechanical devices or a related field. Experience: The experience required for this post is: - Experience in manufacture and assembly of electro-mechanical devices - Experience in mechanical machining and related dimensional control - Experience in reading mechanical and electrical drawings - Experience of routine measurements and tests in electricity The following would be an advantage: - Experience in TIG / MIG welding, and ideally in brazing techniques - Experience in precision mechanical measurements - Experience in the Computer Aided Design CAD Technical competencies: - Construction, test and installation of electromechanical equipment and systems - Operation and maintenance of electromechanical equipment and systems - Manufacturing of mechanical parts Behavioural competencies: - Working in Teams: building and maintaining constructive and effective work relationships - Achieving Results: driving work / projects along and seeing them through to their conclusion; Allocating appropriate amount of time for completing tasks - Demonstrating Flexibility: readily accepting new tasks or work/projects; Adapting quickly and resourcefully to shifting priorities and requirements - Communicating Effectively: ensuring that information, procedures and decisions are appropriately documented - Managing Self: working well autonomously; taking on activities and tasks without prompting Language skills: Spoken and written English or French: ability to understand and speak the other language in routine situations.
