Transport and Handling Specialist (EN-THE-HH-2026-196-LD)

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 Transport and Handling Engineering Group (EN-THE), 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 a Transport and Handling Specialist  in EN-THE, you will be part of the Heavy Handling (EN-HE-HH) Section, which is in charge for organising and supervising transport, handling and lifting operations at CERNs accelerators complex, experimental areas and industrial buildings both underground and in surface premises. Functions As a Transport and Handling Specialist in the EN-THE-HH Section, you will be part of a team of 10 people (technical engineers and technicians) in charge of: - Coordinating transport and handling operations for the Accelerator complex, Experiments, and surface premises. - Coordinating and planning meetings to evaluate technical and resource needs.  - Assessing and proposing possible handling and transport solutions. - Defining technical and safety requirements for the transport of dangerous goods and ensuring compliance with ADR principles and applicable regulations. - Specific operations by using customised equipment, analysing related working procedures and Safety assessments. - Developing technical specifications, work procedures and contract documentation for transport and handling activities. - Supervising contractor activities on site, ensuring Safety during the operations in both conventional and radioactive environments. - Collaborating with the EN-THE design office to develop custom handling tools and conduct logistic studies. - Collaborating with Radiation Protection Services to establish/redact the Work Dose Planning and Radiological work permit (DIMR). - Performing handling operations in specific situations. 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.
