An opportunity for a Civil or Geotechnical Engineer is open in the Site and Civil Engineering (SCE) Department to contribute to civil engineering preparation activities within the Future Circular Collider (FCC) Feasibility Study. These preparation activities will have specific focus on the proposed 100 km tunnel. The Feasibility Study will investigate the technical and financial feasibility of such facility. The underground geological and geotechnical site investigations associated with this feasibility study are planned to commence in the very near future.
You will be required to carry out the following tasks:
Visit active sites during mobilisation, site investigation works and reinstatement of the site after works;;
Assist with any permitting/local authority issues that may impede site access for the Contractor
Attend CERN/Contractor/Engineer regular meetings (FR/ENG) including internal meeting minuting;
Quality check borehole logs;
Review daily, weekly and monthly reporting from individual worksites and overall work packages;
Produce condensed internal weekly/monthly reporting;
Enforce onsite Health & Safety and environmental compliance of Contractor;
Contribute and collaborate with other CERN colleagues in progress presentations (FR/ENG);
Guide any external CERN visitors around sites and explain works;
Document management.
The skills and/or technologies you should have and/or know
A general understanding of ground investigations and geophysics;
Understanding of H&S and civil works legislation.
Proficiency in both French and English language.
This job requires:
A valid driving licence.
CERN designs, develops, and operates particle accelerators and experiments for scientific research to understand the fundamental laws of the universe. These activities may generate stray radiation due to the interaction between beams and matter. The radiation detectors installed close to the various beam lines and targets allow CERN to accurately monitor radiation levels. Within the Radiation Protection (RP) Group at CERN, the Instrumentation & Logistics (IL) Section is responsible for the design and the development of this specialised equipment, as well as its installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance.
Radiation monitoring is essential to enable CERN to operate its accelerator complex and related experiments while fulfilling its legal obligations to protect the public, people working on CERN site and the environment. In this stringent context, the RP-IL Section has developed a new generation of radiation monitoring system called CROME (https://crome.web.cern.ch) for CERN Radiation Monitoring Electronics with very challenging performances and reliability requirements.
Within the framework of this development activity, the RP-IL Section has designed two complementary electronics:
1. A new generation of ASIC front-end with specific requirements linked to radiation protection detectors. This circuit is a ten-decade silicon CMOS current to frequency converter capable of measuring a current over a wide range from 2fA to 20 µA;
2. A modular and reconfigurable electronics based on a heterogeneous multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSoC) for both real-time control and complex computation.
