The European Spallation Source is one of the largest science and technology infrastructure projects being built today. The project includes the most powerful linear proton accelerator ever built, a five-tonne, helium-cooled tungsten target wheel, 15 state-of-the-art neutron instruments, a suite of laboratories, and a supercomputing data management and software development centre. In the context of its history and future as a scientific organisation, however, it is more than the sum of its parts. It is a brand-new Big Science organisation and we are building it from the ground up. Come and build the future of Science with us! About the role: The ESS is at an exciting turning point. It is in transition from being a construction site, to being an operating facility. To help us realise our goal of being the most powerful neutron source in the world, we are currently seeking a highly motivated Entry-level Risk Engineer to join our Project Directorate. The Project Directorate consists of several teams with diverse experience and expertise, working together towards the achievement of the Project Directorate’s strategic goals. Our commitment to effectively integrate work across subprojects includes monitoring, communicating, and reporting on progress while managing project changes in terms of schedule, cost and performance.  As our Risk Engineer you will be responsible for the management and coordination of project processes while directly reporting to Project Management. You will be entrusted with the ownership of the Project Risk Register and will facilitate opportunity and threat workshops in accordance with our established monthly reporting framework. You will play a crucial role in ensuring that the Project Risk Register is maintained to the highest standards, with all entries kept current and detailed, encompassing both qualitative and quantitative aspects. Furthermore, you will be responsible for the identification of all mitigation measures, ensuring that related actions are actively managed throughout their entire lifecycle. In this capacity, you will work in close collaboration with our specialized Risk Management consultancy under the guidance of the Head of Project Management. This position offers a unique opportunity to acquire the necessary skills and experience to progress towards a Risk Manager role in the future.  We are committed to your professional development and will provide comprehensive training and development opportunities, both within the organization and through accredited external training providers. This is a full-time, 3-year fixed-term position based at the ESS Campus in Lund, Sweden. About you: We are seeking a highly motivated person with a strong attention to details and a proactive approach to risk management. You possess exceptional problem-solving skills, an analytical mindset and a commitment to continuous learning. Furthermore, you have a degree in Engineering, Risk management or other related field and possesses a keen interest in risk management and project oversight.

We attach great importance to personality and attitude, so we're looking for a real team player: Someone who is sociable, has excellent communication skills, who enjoys collaborating with different people and who is committed to helping this amazing project to realise its full potential. We need a hands-on self-starter who is able to work in a structured, orderly, responsible and – most importantly – safe way. The working language of ESS is English but it would be great if you could also work in Swedish as well. For this role, we need someone who can start as soon as possible! What can we offer? Aside from the chance to work at truly unique big science project, you can also expect: • An opportunity to contribute to the future discoveries within neutron science. • A stunning, brand new workplace filled with innovative minds and brilliant people from across the globe. • A challenging, innovative and stimulating work environment. • Market competitive compensation that is individual and differentiated according to role, responsibilities, individual skills, abilities and achievements. • 30 days of annual leave, as well as more than 10 days of public holiday and company days off or days with limited working hours. • Monthly pension contributions on top of your salary. • Flexible working arrangements and a real work-life balance.
