Lift Technician - Equipment Maintenance Section; EN-HE-HEM--LD

Company Description

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.

Introduction:

The Engineering Department (EN) provides CERN with the Engineering expertise, Infrastructure Systems and Technical Coordination necessary for the design, installation, operation, maintenance and dismantling phases of the CERN accelerator complex and its experimental facilities.

The position is within the Handling Engineering Group (EN-HE), responsible for preparing, organising and coordinating all transport and handling operations for the CERN accelerators and experiments. The Group also manages the transport of thousands of conventional and unconventional items, chemical and radioactive products each year.

As an Electromechanical Technician in EN-HE, you will be part of the Handling Equipment Maintenance (EN-HE-HEM) Section, which manages and maintains all the industrial transport, handling and lifting equipment, including more than 120 lifts to ensure the reliable performance all along its lifecycle. More precisely, you will join a team of 10 people in charge of the installation and maintenance of lifting and handling equipment at CERN, in particular lifts and Electric Overhead Traveling (EOT) cranes.

• Provide input for design and draft technical specifications for lifts.
• Contribute to defining optimised maintenance plans and give input for the consolidation program of the lift park.
• Plan and organise the installation of lifts in collaboration with the services concerned.
• Supervise contractors’ activities on site, ensuring Safety during the work execution.
• Elaborate relevant documentation and keep the installation files up-to-date (technical files, equipment lists, etc.).
• Use Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) to monitor the equipmentperformance and follow up on maintenance.
• Place orders according to the existing contracts for supply and maintenance.

Technical certificate or general secondary education or equivalent relevant experience in the field of Mechanics or Electromecanics or a related field.

• Extensive experience in the installation and commissioning of a wide range of goods and passenger lifts, more specifically in the installation of long-traveling lifts.
• Proven experience in the on-site supervision of contracts (installation and maintenance) of lifting and handling equipment.
• Proven experience in the use of CMM Systems.
• Demonstrated experience in electrical and control systems would be an asset.

• Installation and commissioning of lifting and handling equipment.
• Operation and maintenance of lifting and handling equipment.
• Knowledge of CMM systems.
• Knowledge of Control systems (preferably Siemens, Schneider) would be an asset.

• Working in Teams: working well in groups and readily fitting into a team; participating fully and taking an active role in team activities.
• Solving Problems: anticipating obstacles; assessing alternative solutions in order to have a fall-back plan.
• Demonstrating Flexibility: adapting quickly and resourcefully to shifting priorities and requirements.
• Achieving Results: delivering high quality work on time and fulfilling expectations.
• Working in the Interest of the Organization: following rules and regulations and encouraging others to do the same.

Spoken and written English, with a commitment to learn French.
