Within the CERN Engineering department (EN), the Cooling and Ventilation (EN-CV) group is responsible for the design, the building, the operation, and the maintenance of the cooling and ventilation plants for large energy physics accelerators, experiments, and technical facilities. The EN-CV group pursues sustainable cooling and ventilation systems enhancing energy saving and recovery.

You will join the Project Section (EN-CV-PJ), which is in charge of coordination and management of cooling and ventilation projects for installation of new systems, upgrade of existing systems and consolidation of old systems both for CERN accelerators and experiments. The section is responsible for entire project cycles, starting from collecting user requirements to the final commissioning of cooling and ventilation systems.

Your responsibilities

• Pursue and define user requirements from main stakeholders.
• Perform feasibility studies and detailed designs of industrial cooling and HVAC systems, including sizing and cost estimates for the proposed solutions.
• Write up technical reports and notes.
• Draw up technical specifications and all relevant documents, follow up the tendering process up to the adjudication of future contracts.
• Follow up and regularly report on the project's progress.
• Ensure technical coordination and supervision of contractors.
• Monitor cost and schedule up to the commissioning and formal acceptance of the systems.
• Support operation teams in the troubleshooting and process improvement of existing plants.
• Actively contribute to the development and improvement of the internal procedures, technical prescriptions, and standardisation of the technical solutions.
