Electrical Engineer

Are you an electrical engineer looking for a new challenge in the field of high voltage distribution networks? Contribute your skills to keep the power supply of CERN at the forefront to meet the needs of the continuously evolving accelerators, experiments, and general infrastructure. Take part!

Description

Functions 
As an Electrical Engineer in the High Voltage (HT) Section, you will actively take part in the extension, consolidation and the renovation of the electrical distribution network of CERN. You will be one of the project engineers bundling the CERN's electrical distribution network for the future. Further, you will manage contracts for the procurement of medium and high voltage equipment.

You will:
* Carry out the conceptual and detailed design studies for high voltage electrical substation and networks.
* Carry out network load analysis and high voltage equipment sizing.
* Write technical specifications for the purchase of high voltage equipment.
* Contribute to the preparation of the medium and long-term development studies of CERN's electrical distribution network.
* Manage projects for the consolidation and extension of the existing high voltage electrical infrastructure involving multidisciplinary activities such as civil engineering, ventilation, * IT systems.
* Manage contracts for the procurement of high voltage equipment.

Qualification required 
* Master's degree in the field of Electrical Engineering, or equivalent.

The experience required for this post is:
* A demonstrated experience in the design, construction and commissioning of high-voltage electrical networks and substations.
* A demonstrated theoretical and practical knowledge of the high voltage equipment.

The following experience would be considered an asset:

* An initial experience in managing projects in the framework of substation and network construction.
* An initial experience in managing procurement contracts with international contractors.
* Experience of low voltage distribution networks.

The technical competencies required for this post are:
Design of HV network & substations: indoor and outdoor substation design including coordination of protections.
Commissioning, maintenance & operation of electrical distribution systems.
Contract management: specification and purchasing of high voltage equipment.
The technical knowledge about HV power transformers and cables is considered an asset
