Spatial Planning Specialist for FCC Project (SR-SE-2026-155-LD)

Reporting directly to the Territorial Integration Pillar Coordinator of the FCC Project, you will be responsible for the territorial planning and territorial synergies aspects of the project. You will lead the operational coordination of thematic working groups covering surface site planning, associated development projects and synergies with local territorial initiatives. In this role, you will contribute directly to the objective of delivering an FCC project that is well integrated into its host territories, sustainable and broadly supported by local stakeholders. Coordinate cross-functional working groups on territorial planning matters, including architecture, infrastructure, socio-economic issues and other related topics, as well as the local committees for the surface sites. Facilitate information sharing with territorial stakeholders and identify issues requiring strategic decision-making. Engage with local stakeholders, including public authorities and institutional partners, to capture territorial planning priorities and opportunities, and ensure these are reflected in the project's spatial planning and design decisions. Identify and promote territorial development opportunities arising from the FCC project, including urban development, economic development and infrastructure synergies, in collaboration with local and regional authorities. Contribute to the management of the territorial planning workstream by participating in project reviews, monitoring the project master schedule and preparing supporting documentation for governance bodies. Produce consolidated progress reports and contribute to the development of project monitoring tools, including indicators, risks and dashboards.

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. Diversity is a core value of CERN since its foundation, and it remains central to our mission and continued success.
