CERN is much more than just physicists and physics. The Engineering department (EN) has an opening for a surveyor who will be in charge of various tasks, in particular the metrology of all detectors at CERN. Not only will you be able to work in a dynamic and international environment, but you will also get to use the latest surveying tools and software in order to achieve the sub-millimiter accuracy. Take Part!
Description
Functions
As a Survey Technician of the EN-MEF-SU section, you will be part of the team in charge of the metrology of the Physics Experiments.
In this role you will:
Ensure the maintenance of the geodetic networks in the experimental areas.
