Electrical Engineer

• Ingeniero Industrial (Especialidad Eléctrica o Especialidad Energía).
• Máster en Ingeniería Industrial (Especialidad Eléctrica o Especialidad Energía o procedente de Grado en Ing. Eléctrica o Grado en Ing. Mecánica especialidad Energía).

To extend its discovery potential, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN will undergo a major upgrade to increase its luminosity (rate of collisions) by a factor of 10 beyond the design value. The High Luminosity (HL-LHC) is the project that will develop the required new technologies and be in charge of the design, production, installation and commissioning of the equipment required to reach this challenging objective.

As an Engineer you will work with the S.C. Magnet Circuits Coordinator (the so-called “Mr Circuit”) to help with the following activities::

• Global optimization of the HL-LHC Circuits having in mind performance, operation and cost (both construction and operation cost over the 10-15 years of HL-LHC), considering the number of circuits and the different powering and protection configurations that are possible within the LHC and HL-LHC constraints..

• Investigation on the various solutions considering aspects in the domain of Accelerator Physics and Performance, S.C. Magnets Design, Cold-Warm Powering, Machine Protection, Cryogenics, Integration and Installation issues.

• Preparation of the strategies and related documents pertaining to the monitoring of the quality of insulations of the electrical circuits during construction, test and hardware commissioning for all circuit components.

• Organization of technical and global reviews on aspects of the design of the different systems related to interfaces and having an impact on the overall, operational performance and costs.

Profile: Profile: Electrical or Energy-related (e.g. Power Plant) Engineer (Master degree).

Experience with systems approach in the domain of superconducting magnets, their powering and protection will be highly appreciated.

Candidates are required to possess a good working knowledge of English or French, and basic knowledge of the other.

Candidates will be selected through a video interview and if required a face-to-face interview will be conducted.

Project Description:
Within the Organization, Scheduling & Support Section you are responsible for planning and coordination of installation of different projects associated to the accelerator complex: Neutrino platform, injector consolidation…

Stakeholders of the section are the Beams, Physics, General Services and Technology departments, as well as the other groups within the Engineering department itself

Tasks: In collaboration with the different stakeholders, you will:

• Plan and coordinate all installation and maintenance activities for the different accelerators, ensuring all activities are carried out within agreed overall schedule.
• Prepare all supporting documentation and liaise between the stakeholders.
• Manage the impact of operational problems affecting the installation and maintenance work on the schedule, in order to minimize any delays.
• Identify and resolve conflicting co-activity issues with the stakeholders concerned and the Project Leaders.
• In collaboration with the relevant Safety Coordinator, ensure that all safety concerns related to the installation work are identified and that the relevant safety rules/procedures are applied

Profile: Master's degree in the field of engineering, physics or project management (or equivalent)

Experience: The training or experience required for this support activity are:

• project management and coordination;
• organisation, planning and control processes;
• working with project planning tools;
• communication skills;

Demonstrated experience in the above as well as in engaging stakeholders.

Specific details: Spoken and written English.
French is an asset and the willingness to learn French is required. The ability to understand and speak both languages in professional context is an important asset, as well as the ability to draft texts for publications and/or official communications, and make oral presentations in both languages.

Candidates will be selected through a video interview and if required a face-to-face interview will be conducted.

Project Description:
As an Organization & Scheduling Support in the Engineering Department (EN), Experimental Areas Group (EA), Engineering and Coordination Section (EC) you will join:

• The Engineering (EN) Department that provides engineering competencies, infrastructure systems, and technical coordination for the world's largest particle accelerator complex and its experimental facilities.

• The Experimental Areas (EA) Group which is responsible for planning and coordinating all activities in many of the CERN Experimental Areas. The group provides support to the experiments that use the different CERN accelerators in the preparation, integration, installation, and operation, as well as the design, installation, and maintenance of the secondary beam areas.

Following the initial training within the EN-EA Group, as a project and group planning and coordination support officer, within the Engineering and Coordination Section you will take over planning responsibilities and support the team for the planning and coordination of installation, maintenance shutdown and repair activities for the different experimental areas during long shutdowns, technical stops and operation.

In the context of the group activities and following respective priorities, you will also provide planning support for different CERN projects such as the EHN1 extension, Experimental area consolidation and Elena project, ensuring adequate resource coordination within the EN-EA group.

Stakeholders of the group responsibilities are the Beams, Physics, General Services and Technology departments, as well as the other groups within the Engineering department itself

Tasks: In collaboration with the different stakeholders, you will:

• Together with the respective project leaders or beam area responsible, develop and maintain an implementation planning tool and provide coordination support for all installation, operation and maintenance activities for the different experimental areas.
• This implies the follow-up of all group activities so that they are initiated in due time and ensuring that all activities are carried out within agreed overall schedule.

• Contribute to supporting documentation and liaise between the stakeholders.
• Report on operational problems affecting the schedule of installation, upgrade or maintenance work, in order to minimize any delays.

• Identify possible conflicting co-activity issues within the group as well as with the concerned stakeholders.
• Propose planning/coordination measures in order to mitigate the above listed issues.
