Safety Engineer

Evaluate safety requirements and implement risk mitigation strategies for activities, accelerator and beam operation and large-scale projects. Assess compliance of installations, laboratories and workshops through safety audits, inspections and testing. Authorise activities through safety evaluations and the issuance of safety permits, ensuring CERN's safety rules are met. Provide training and promote awareness on safety-related matters, ensuring best practices are understood and applied. Contribute to the continuous improvement of CERN's safety- and quality management, including documentation.

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.
