Radiation Protection Technical Engineer (HSE-RP-CS-2021-91-LD)

Introduction

Are you passionate about your job as a Radiation Protection Technical Engineer? Would you like to participate in a dynamic multi-national team of radiation protection specialists? Contribute your skills and expertise in radiation protection to the world's largest particle accelerator complex and its experimental facilities. CERN, take part!

You will join the Occupational Health and Safety and Environmental Protection (HSE)  Unit, which acts, on behalf of the Director General, in matters of safety and the protection of personnel and environment. The Radiation Protection Group (RP)  protects workers and public against the risks of exposure to ionising radiation, ensuring that exposure is kept as low as reasonably achievable. The duties of CERN’s Radiation Protection Group include the assessment of radiation hazards of CERN’s activities, including new accelerators and experiments, the definition of protective measures as well as the legally required monitoring of the exposure of radiation workers to ionising radiation and radioactive waste management.

Functions

As a Radiation Protection Technical Engineer in the RP Characterization & Services Section (RP-CS) you will:

• Coordinate a small team responsible for the radiological aspects related to transport of radioactive material
• Participate in the radiological classification of transports and shipments using dose-rate, gamma-spectrometry and contamination measurements as well as in-house developed computational tools
• Perform and coordinate measurements in the radio analytical and low-level counting laboratory (gamma-spectrometry, alpha/beta counting, liquid scintillation counting)
• Provide advice on various legal aspects related to transport and shipping
• Prepare written reports on a regular basis.
