Job Description
Your responsibilities
In the framework of the LHC HighLuminosity upgrade the CMS experiment will undergo a major upgrade with the replacement of the Tracker and Endcap calorimeter detectors. These two new detectors will be cooled by evaporating Carbon Dioxide using innovating cooling system designed at CERN.
The successful candidate will integrate in a team of cooling experts (Technicians Technical Engineers Engineers) who are operating the present and future cooling systems. She/he will support the various cooling activities associated to the construction and testing of the CMS detectors and in particular:
- Take part in the operation of the evaporative CO2 cooling systems supporting the detector teams for testing and commissioning activities. This will include participation in the pressure and leak tests but also the realization of small mechanical assemblies that can be used for prototype tests.
- Be involved in the maintenance activities for the water and CO2 cooling systems. This will include the maintenance of the CO2 membrane pumps and replacement of valves or filters.
Your profile
Required Skills:
- Experience in manufacturing of small mechanical assemblies
- Interest in cooling systems and mechanics
- Teamwork: communicating well with others while working on the same projects
Skills considered an advantage:
- Experience in manufacturing of pipework including pipejoining techniques (welding brazing)
- Experience in maintenance and operation of cooling system
- Experience in using CAD systems such as CATIA (or equivalent)
- Fluent in English or French and willingness to learn the other language at CERN
Eligibility criteria:
- You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
- By the application deadline you have a maximum of two years of professional experience since graduation in Cooling and ventilation mechanics (or a related field) and your highest educational qualification is a general secondary education diploma.
- You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.

About us
At CERN the European Organization for Nuclear Research physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the worlds 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 .
Diversity has been an integral part of CERNs mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
