Mer information

As we continue our transition into Steady State Operations, ESS is now looking for a motivated and experienced Group Leader to head our Remote Handling Group. The Remote Handling Group has the responsibility for planning and executing the processing (e.g. sampling and size reduction) of spent Target Station components, remote collection of active target components using shielded transfer casks as well as handling the short‑term storage of processed activated material. This is a key role within our Spallation Target Division. As such, you will both lead and coordinate the work within the Group. This will include the design, build, operation, maintenance and logistics of the active cells, casks assemblies and other auxiliary remote handling equipment within the ESS Target Station.

This hands‑on technical and people leadership role requires a certified and experienced expert within the field of remotely operated radioactive waste handling infrastructure. You will be instrumental in leading the team responsible for transporting, handling and processing high level radioactive Target components, whilst also planning and implementing strategic initiatives for development, optimisation and safety compliance.

This is a full‑time, permanent position which is based on‑site at the ESS campus in Lund, Sweden.
