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.
Electrical Power Technician Job Description
You will join:
- The Electrical Power Converter Group (TE-EPC), responsible for the power converters for the CERN particle accelerator complex. The mandate of the group covers the operation and maintenance of several thousand power converters in the range between 10 kW and 100 MW, as well as developments for challenging new projects.
- The Low Power Converter Section (TE-EPC-LPC), whose members develop and operate specific low power systems for magnets including those of the LHC injector chain and almost all the LHC superconducting magnets. The mandate of the section also covers the maintenance of power converters, as well as developments for new projects.
Functions:As an Electrical Power Technician you will participate in the design, construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance of power converters. Your main activities will consist of:
- Participate in the development, construction, and installation of power converters.
- Prepare, during the design phase, the electrical circuit diagrams and 2D & 3D mechanical integration drawings.
- Participate in the electrical qualification of the converters, and in their reception tests in case of series production.
- Participate in the commissioning of the converter in its final environment and on the final load, with all surrounding systems being connected, to permit the operation of the full system.
- Participate in the operation and maintenance of power converters.
- Propose improvements and upgrade of the existing equipment.
- Participate in our stand-by service, for fault-finding and corrective interventions
Note on Employment Conditions:We offer a limited-duration contract for a period of 5 years. Limited-duration contracts shall terminate by default on their date of expiry. Subject to certain conditions, holders of limited-duration contracts may apply for an indefinite position.
These functions require:- Participation in a regular stand-by duty, including nights, Sundays and public holidays.
- Work in Radiation Areas.
- Interventions in underground installations.
- A valid driving licence is required.
- Work during nights, Sundays and official holidays, when required by the needs of the Organization.
