Hazardous Material Decontamination Technical Engineer

You will contribute to hazardous materials decontamination activities and civil engineering works across CERN’s buildings and underground infrastructures. In this role, you support the preparation, coordination and follow-up of interventions, working closely with engineers, technicians, consultants and contractors to ensure safe and compliant operations. You are involved in both planning and on-site activities, combining technical coordination with hands-on follow-up. You will join the Civil Engineering section (CE) within the Site Asset Management (SAM) Group. Act as the referent for pollutant-related works within the SCE-SAM group, managing the execution of hazardous materials decontamination activities at CERN. Act as contract manager for hazardous substances decontamination frame contracts, overseeing budget, quality, schedule and safety, and managing financial variations, claims and settlements with contractors. Serve as the referent of the civil engineering section for works in technical galleries and the Proton Synchrotron complex facility. Collect, prioritise and process work requests from users, project stakeholders and managers, and contribute to defining technical proposals based on requirements. Prepare technical specifications and relevant documentation for tenders and quotations. Plan and manage the execution of works, including coordination of various trades, utilisation of service and frame contracts (civil works, painting, roofing, metallic structures, etc.), chairing site and coordination meetings, and monitoring cost, quality, schedule and safety until final acceptance. Ensure compliance with safety and environmental rules and promote a strong safety culture on work sites. Report on and document activities on a regular basis.

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's 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.

• Certification as a pollutant removal specialist, compliant with Swiss regulations and registered with SUVA and ideally a valid certification in "SS3 Technical Management" in accordance with French regulations and labour code.

• Proven experience in the execution and/or supervision of hazardous substance decontamination works.

• Demonstrated civil engineering experience in the maintenance and operation of buildings or infrastructures.

• Experience in coordinating multi-technical trades across projects.

• Experience on large-scale sites in industrial and/or scientific environments would be an asset.

• Experience in building envelope renovation works would be an asset.

• Experience in concrete and steel structure works would be an asset.
