Full Job Description
At [CERN](http://home.cern), the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Introduction: As an Electrical Engineer, you will take a leading role in the major CMS electrical infrastructure activities during the upcoming upgrade of the detector. You will interface with the CERN electrical infrastructure team in charge of the project execution to refine the specifications according to the CMS needs, validate the technical solutions and coordinate their implementation. Within the CMS Technical Coordination team, you will supervise the power distribution cabling activities for the CMS sub-detectors. You will also participate in the safety assessment of all electrical activities, including the lock-down and the re-powering of all systems, from low-voltage to high-voltage detector systems. Functions: * Oversee the activities related to the evolution of the electrical network in CMS surface and underground areas, providing the interface to the contractors and support groups operating on site. * Report to Technical Coordination on the scheduling of activities, co-activity requirements, work progress, and risks. * Coordinate the CMS subdetector’s effort in procurement, connectorisation, and installation of all power systems and cables, working in close collaboration with the CMS lead electrical engineer and the cabling coordinator. * Establish QA/QC procedures for commissioning and acceptance of electrical installations, and document test execution. * Supervise site activities carried out by contractors and/or collaboration personnel, ensuring proper documentation. * Support t
