What you'll do

As a mechanical technician, you will contribute to upgrade projects of the CMS detector, covering a broad range of responsibilities. These include workshop-based mechanical work, installation of detector systems, and the design and use of tooling for the removal and installation of CMS sub-detectors, as well as radioprotection duties in experimental areas and associated laboratories.

You will also take on coordination and operational responsibilities within the CMS Technical Coordination team, working closely with sub-detector groups and CMS technical support teams.

Your responsibilities

• Take responsibility for activities related to safety and radioprotection for subdetector removal and installation, working with CMS safety officers and subdetector teams, operating in radioprotection-classified areas, and applying safety rules.
• Manage a mechanical workshop, advising and assisting CMS subdetector teams, ensuring the availability and proper use of equipment and tools, and supplying consumables.
• Provide technical support and hands-on assistance to CMS subdetector project teams operating within the CMS laboratories at CERN, in the fields of mechanical manufacturing, assembly, structures, and welding.
• Take part in the development, testing, on-site installation, and on-detector operation of custom tooling for subdetectors, working with subdetector technical teams.
• Operate and maintain hydraulic, mechanical, and electromechanical systems.
• Organise and supervise the storage of subdetector equipment in CMS-reserved spaces at CERN, ensuring proper inventory and space management.
• Assist the territorial safety officer of the building where the mechanical workshop is located, supervising work requested on infrastructure for general safety, and using a mobile crane and forklift when needed.
• Serve as the technical contact for mechanical activities with subdetector teams and for space areas under your responsibility, reporting regularly to the Technical Coordination managers.

Your profile

• Experience in radioprotection and the ability to work in classified areas.
• Proven ability to manage a mechanical workshop, including the use of standard machines and tools.
• Strong organisational skills for coordinating teamwork and on-site technical activities.
• Proficiency in reading 2D and 3D technical drawings and manufacturing mechanical parts accordingly; experience in producing 2D and 3D drawings is an asset.
• Solid background in the design, construction, and assembly of mechanical components and customised tooling.
• Experience in the installation of structures and the use of specialised tooling for handling large equipment.
• Ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary teams.
• Proficiency with the operation and maintenance of hydraulic, mechanical, and electromechanical systems is considered a plus.
• Higher technical diploma or equivalent relevant experience in the field of Mechanics or Manufacturing Methods or a related field.
• Trainings/certificates considered a plus: welding certificate, radioprotection formal training, hydraulic certificate.

Your skills

• Knowledge and application of manufacturing methods and work preparation.
• Assembly of mechanical structures and equipment.
• Manufacturing of mechanical parts.
• Integration of mechanical systems.
• Team management.
• Knowledge of regulatory framework and best practice in radiation protection.
• Defines clear objectives, milestones and deliverables before initiating work/ project.
• Ensures that information, procedures and decisions are appropriately documented.
• Takes responsibility for own actions and decisions.
• Is willing to work on different projects simultaneously.
• Builds and maintains constructive and effective work relationships.
• Spoken and written English, with a commitment to learn French.
