Mechanical Technician (SY-STI-TCD-2024-156-GRAE)
Job Description
Your responsibilities
The SY-STI-TCD section oversees the conceptual design, construction, operation, and maintenance of beam-intercepting devices across the CERN's accelerator complex. The beam intercepting devices are precision mechanical equipment working in harsh environments that must be reliable for the operation of CERN accelerators.
You are multitasking, autonomous, inventive and passionate about mechanical engineering? Take part! As a mechanical technician, you will contribute to the SY-STI group's activities and your functions will include:

Job closing date: 30th October 2024 at 23:59 (midnight) CET.
Job reference: SY-STI-TCD-2024-156-GRAE
Contract duration: 24 months, with a possible extension up to 36 months maximum.
Target start date: 01-December-2024
This position involves:
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.
