Job description

Are you a senior geotechnical engineer with skills and proven expertise in the domain of design and construction of underground civil engineering structures? Do you have experience of preparing and managing large-scale contracts within this domain? Are you able to work independently on high-value, technically complex civil engineering projects while collaborating with other disciplines to develop robust civil engineering solutions?

If so then why not apply to join CERN’s dynamic team working on the proposed Future Circular Collider (FCC), a 91km circumference machine planned to be housed in an underground complex up to 500 metres below ground in the Geneva Basin.

Functions

As an experienced geotechnical engineer with significant understanding of underground structures, you will be responsible for all geotechnical aspects of the design and potential construction of the extensive and complex civil engineering needed for a future CERN accelerator, the FCC.
