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 Accelerator Coordination and Engineering (EN-ACE) group, which coordinates the activities for the interventions and changes to the accelerators complex. It includes configuration & layout management, integration studies and maintenance of the related 3D-CAD representations, organisation and scheduling of programmed stops, management of the mid- and long-term schedule, worksites follow-up and management of accelerator facilities, and operational safety coordination.

As a Planning and Scheduling Engineer in EN-ACE, you will plan and coordinate a wide range of technologies across CERN’s current and future accelerator complex. You will collaborate closely with domain experts to develop practical solutions for the installation and maintenance of complex equipment, contributing to the Engineering Department’s mission of supporting the full lifecycle of CERN’s infrastructure and future projects.

Functions:

• Coordinate all installation and maintenance activities for existing or future accelerators.
• Produce baseline schedules ensuring all activities follow it, considering safety rules and quality standards.
• Prepare all supporting documentation and liaise between the stakeholders.
• Identify and resolve conflicting co-activity issues with stakeholders and project leaders.
• Manage the impact of operational issues affecting the installation and maintenance work on the schedule, in order to minimise delays.
• Ensure that all safety concerns related to the installation works are identified and that the relevant safety rules/procedures are implemented.
• Follow up and report on activities progress, to identify deviations and anticipate co-activities issues.
