Civil and Structural Engineer Job in , , Switzerland

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter, the fundamental particles. The particles are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives the physicists clues about how the particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.

Civil and Structural Engineer Job Description

As a Civil & Structural Engineer in the Prevention & Safety Engineering Expertise Section, you will take up the role of CERN specialist for Structural Safety, joining a multidisciplinary team of safety experts, covering several engineering domains.

You will:

• Check and validate design calculations coming from different CERN technical departments.
• Provide support to the design and assessment of standard and non-standard structures.
• Perform applied research activities in the field of structures exposed to accidental and extreme events, such as fire and earthquake.
