Safety Engineer for the Physics Department

Carry out risk assessments for installations and activities, recommend appropriate control measures and monitor on their implementation. Perform and coordinate safety inspections with subject matter experts. Support responsible teams in preparing, reviewing and maintaining safety documentation (e.g. technical descriptions, operation and maintenance procedures, etc.). Provide clear guidance and actionable advice to stakeholders on safety-related matters. Promote a proactive and sustainable Safety Culture through stakeholder engagement and safety awareness initiatives. Organise and contribute to regular safety meetings and collaborate with safety officers, technical experts, and other stakeholders. Analyse occupational incidents, prepare related reports, and follow up on the implementation of corrective actions.

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. We are pushing the frontiers of science and technology. Our groundbreaking work brings together not only physicists but also a diverse range of professionals from engineering, technical, scientific, and administrative fields. Together, we foster an environment where innovation and collaboration thrive. Every day, we face exciting new challenges and opportunities to contribute to cutting-edge research that shapes our understanding of the universe. We meet these challenges through the diverse perspectives within our teams, ensuring every contribution is valued and driving our shared sense of inclusion and purpose. Diversity is a core value of CERN since its foundation, and it remains central to our mission and continued success.
