Junior Electrical Safety Engineer (HSE-OHS-GI-2026-144-GRAE)

Provide support in terms of electrical safety to CERN technical departments, including supporting safety awareness activities and campaigns. Review existing CERN electrical safety documents to identify gaps, inconsistencies, and outdated content. Update, draft, and consolidate electrical safety documentation (including instructions, procedures, and conformity requirements) integrating the latest requirements from standards. Support the development of standardised document structures, templates, and terminology, with the associated traceability and revision control. Provide support in safety risk assessment and risk control, equipment integrity, audits, and technical reviews.

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, 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.
