Your responsibilities
As a survey engineer you will join the Geodetic Metrology group at CERN, where you will take part in the metrology and alignment of a wide variety of components used in the particle accelerators. You will be using state-of-the-art surveying tools and software to achieve the sub-millimetre accuracy necessary to achieve our goals.
Specifically, you will:
Perform the alignment of various accelerators components in the injector complex and LHC tunnel, ensure the maintenance of the related geodetic networks; Perform metrology measurements at all stages during the assembly of accelerator components using laser trackers;Perform and compute \"as built\" measurements of tunnels and buildings of HL-LHC project using the laser scanner technology;Write the corresponding survey reports, and manage the relevant documentation; Improve and optimize related survey procedures, methods and software.Your profile

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.
